Sample St George's interview questions

• Why St George's specifically - what draws you to a specialist health-sciences campus in Tooting?
• What do you understand about the population St George's Hospital serves, and how would that shape you as a doctor?
• Role-play: a patient is worried about the cost of their prescriptions and is thinking of skipping doses. Talk to them.
• Tell us about a time you showed empathy in a difficult situation - what did you learn?
• Ethics: should GPs be allowed to refuse to register patients from outside their local catchment area?

• What did your work experience teach you about the reality of being an NHS doctor in 2027?

St George's Medicine FAQs

What UCAT score do I need for St George's Medicine 2027 entry?

St George's ranks academically eligible applicants by total UCAT cognitive score. The 2025 cycle effective cut-off was around 2,540. Aim for 2,600+ to comfortably clear shortlisting; below 2,480 is high-risk. SJT Band 4 is rejected outright.

Does St George's require Biology and Chemistry at A-level?

Yes - both Biology and Chemistry are mandatory at grade A minimum, and the AAA must be achieved in one sitting. The third A-level can be any other academic subject.

Is the St George's interview MMI or panel?

MMI - eight stations of about five minutes each, run online via MS Teams for 2027 entry. Stations are values-based, covering empathy, integrity, teamwork, role-play, communication and ethics rather than heavy scientific quizzing.

Does St George's have contextual offers?

Yes - the Adjusted Criteria Scheme offers a reduced grade offer (BBB) and a relaxed UCAT threshold for eligible widening-participation applicants, including those from SW London / Merton / Wandsworth postcodes, care leavers, refugees and low-participation areas.

Does St George's weight GCSEs heavily?

No - GCSEs must meet a minimum standard (five at 6/B including English, Maths and a science) but are not formally scored in the ranking model. UCAT is the dominant shortlisting factor once you're academically eligible.

Does St George's accept the IB?

Yes - 36 points overall with 6,6,6 at Higher Level, to include HL Biology and HL Chemistry.

Does St George's accept resit A-levels?

Resits are considered only with strong mitigating circumstances declared in the personal statement or reference. Achieved grades must still hit AAA (with Biology and Chemistry) at the resit attempt.

Is St George's part of City St George's, University of London now?

Yes - as of August 2024, St George's, University of London merged with City, University of London to form City St George's, University of London. The medical school still sits on the historic Tooting campus alongside St George's Hospital, and course content, staff and NHS placements are unchanged.

Where will I do my clinical placements at St George's?

Primarily at St George's Hospital (a major London teaching hospital) plus a wide network of NHS Trust sites across South West London, Surrey and Sussex - including community, GP and mental-health placements from early in the course.

When does St George's make decisions?

MMI invitations from November; interview outcomes December-April for 2027 entry.

How does St George's compare to Barts, King's and BSMS for London-based applicants?

St George's is smaller, more primary-care and community-focused, and typically has a lower UCAT cut-off than King's or Barts - but SJT and MMI performance matter more. BSMS is Brighton-based and comparable in ethos; if you want a values-driven London school with a strong clinical footprint from Year 1, St George's is the closest fit.

Can I defer my St George's Medicine offer?

Yes, deferred entry is supported provided it's agreed at offer stage.
