Most Oxbridge advice online is guesswork.

Oxford and Cambridge medicine are the two hardest medical courses in the UK to get into, and the advice students find online is often out of date or simply wrong. Students pick colleges for the wrong reasons, write personal statements that list activities instead of reflecting on them, and freeze in interviews when a question goes somewhere unfamiliar.

This session fixes that. You get the honest version from someone who went through the process recently: what changes your odds, what does not, and what to do next.

How to prepare for an Oxbridge interview.

Six topics covering the Oxford and Cambridge medicine interview and the rest of the application, taught live with worked examples.

Topic 1

Oxford vs Cambridge medicine

Both are six-year courses with three preclinical and three clinical years, but the detail matters. Oxford teaches anatomy with prosections, Cambridge with full cadaveric dissection. Oxford asks for A*AA, Cambridge for A*A*A.

  • Tutorials at Oxford vs supervisions at Cambridge
  • Admissions odds at both, side by side
  • City life and how to choose between them
Topic 2

How to get into Oxford medical school

Oxford uses a shortlisting formula based on GCSEs and UCAT score. We show you how the formula works in practice, what a realistic UCAT target looks like, and what happens once you are invited to interview by two colleges.

  • GCSE and UCAT weighting
  • Two-college interview process
  • Roughly one in three offer rate after interview
Topic 3

How to get into Cambridge medical school

Cambridge takes a more contextual view of your scores and interviews far more applicants, so the interview carries more weight. We cover open applications, the pooling system, and how to prepare for a science-heavy supervision-style interview.

  • Contextual admissions explained
  • Open applications and the pool
  • Why the Cambridge interview decides more
Topic 4

College choice, done properly

At Oxford you are interviewed by two colleges whatever you apply to, so your odds are essentially the same anywhere. At Cambridge, open applications are treated equally. Pick a college you want to live in, not one you think is a loophole.

  • Why tactical college picking does not work
  • What to actually look at
  • Open application myths
Topic 5

Personal statement and super-curriculars

Both universities publish selection criteria. We show you how to write against them, why reflection beats a list, and which reading, online experience and volunteering genuinely strengthen an Oxbridge application.

  • Reflection over quantity
  • Using published selection criteria
  • Work experience that counts
Topic 6

How to pass the Oxbridge interview

Tutors are not looking for perfect answers. They want to see how you think, whether you can take a hint, and whether you stay curious under pressure. We practise talking through reasoning out loud on unfamiliar problems.

  • Thinking out loud
  • Taking feedback mid-answer
  • Why notes or AI in an online interview ends your application

Questions, answered.

How do you prepare for an Oxbridge interview?

Start with the science you already know, then practise talking through unfamiliar problems out loud. Oxford and Cambridge tutors want to see your reasoning, not a rehearsed answer. Read around your subject, get used to being pushed, and do at least one timed mock in the format your college uses.

What is the Oxford medicine interview like?

You are interviewed by two colleges, usually two panel interviews of about 20 to 25 minutes each. Most of the time is spent on science problems, graphs and data, with a few questions on your motivation and personal statement.

What questions come up in the Cambridge medicine interview?

Mostly science based: biology, chemistry and maths applied to a problem you have not seen before. You may also get questions on your personal statement, your reading and why you want to study medicine at Cambridge.

When is the Oxbridge masterclass?

Saturday 19 September 2026, 9am to 12pm UK time, live on Zoom.

How much does it cost?

The masterclass is £79. You can add a 1-to-1 Oxbridge-style mock interview for an extra £69, so £148 in total.

Who is it for?

Year 12 and Year 13 students applying to Oxford or Cambridge medicine. Parents and teachers are welcome to sit in.

Is it recorded?

No. It is a live session, so join at the scheduled time and bring your questions.

Do you cover Cambridge as well as Oxford?

Yes. The two are covered side by side: course structure, teaching style, admissions odds, entry requirements and interview format.

When does the mock interview happen?

You book it separately after purchase, at a time that suits you before your Oxbridge interview. It will not take place on the masterclass day unless you and your tutor specifically arrange the same day. Oxford mocks are run by Oxford tutors and Cambridge mocks are run by Cambridge tutors.

Who runs the mock interviews?

Trained MedicHut interviewers who know the Oxford and Cambridge interview formats.

When are Oxford medicine interviews?

Mid-December. Oxford runs one intense interview week, and you are interviewed by two colleges during it.

When do Oxford medicine offers come out?

Mid-January, after the December interviews and the college decision meetings in early January.

When are Cambridge medicine interviews?

Early to mid-December, usually one or two interviews at the college you applied to, or the college you were allocated if you made an open application.

How many interviews do you get at Oxford for medicine?

Two as standard, one at your first-choice college and one at a second college, each around 20 to 25 minutes. Some applicants get a third.

Can you apply to both Oxford and Cambridge for medicine?

No. UCAS only lets you apply to one of them in the same cycle for undergraduate medicine. Part of this masterclass is helping you pick the right one.

What UCAT score do you need for Oxbridge medicine?

Neither sets a hard cut-off. Oxford weights UCAT and GCSEs roughly 50:50 at shortlisting, and shortlisted applicants tend to sit well above the average. Cambridge takes a more contextual view and puts more weight on the interview.

Is Oxford or Cambridge harder for medicine?

They are similar in difficulty but they filter differently. Oxford shortlists harder on UCAT and GCSEs, Cambridge interviews far more applicants so the interview decides more. We compare both in the session.

Does Oxbridge interview preparation actually help?

Yes, when it is practice based. Tutors are testing how you reason out loud on unfamiliar problems, and that is a skill you can rehearse. Reading tips alone does not build it, which is why we practise live in the session.
