For a general overview of which universities require an interview, please download our free university admissions information sheet from our free downloads page.
Note that all of MedEntry’s packages include a comprehensive University Admissions Guide.
Do I need to train for my interview?
Yes! Interviews are a crucial aspect of the selection process for entry into health science courses. In some universities, interviews are weighted at more than 50% of the total selection criteria. Most people focus on their ENTER/OP scores, study for the UMAT but do not prepare for the interview.
However, knowledge of the types of questions asked, coaching on interview technique and enhanced communication skills can dramatically improve your performance. You should not go into an interview unprepared or not having an understanding of what you will be asked.
What help does MedEntry provide for interviews?
The MedEntry Team has extensive interview expertise and knowledge of the types of questions likely to arise at each university, which we use to provide you with focussed training.
Our interview guide comes with all of our packages, or can be purchased separately. It is packed with information on interview technique, common themes in health science interviews and how to tackle specific questions that will be asked.
Students attending a UMAT workshop will have an afternoon of interview preparation to get them started. Remember, interviews cannot be 'crammed' for; you need to start thinking about them and developing skills early.
MedEntry also offers Interview Training Sessions that are tailored to specific Universities and Courses, since each university has a unique interview style and set of questions. The session is a day-long program facilitated by an expert. It covers interview technique, specific questions likely to arise and strategies that can be used to answer them.
What does the Interview Workshop involve?
Interview Training Sessions provide students with strategies and tips on how to succeed in medical or dental interviews. The sessions are tailored to the specific university/course for which the student has received an offer, enabling detailed discussion of the specific questions likely to arise at that interview.
The sessions are conducted in small groups of between five to fifteen students, allowing personalised feedback and interaction to occur. An expert will facilitate the session and provide feedback on everything from interview technique to the intricacies of students' answers.
The training session is a day long program, and lunch will be provided.
How do I enrol in an Interview Workshop?
If you wish to enrol in one of the workshops, you will first need to have received an interview offer. Once you have received your offer, please email or phone us with your name, phone number, type of interview (course and university) and date of interview.
