Full day of medicine interview preparation for Year 13 students and gap-year applicants applying for 2027 entry, part of the University of Derby's Recognising Potential pathway.
University of Derby is running a full day of medicine interview practice on Wednesday 4 November, from 9.30am to 4.30pm. It's built for Year 13 students and those on a gap year who're applying to study medicine for 2027 entry, so if you're in the middle of that process, this is exactly where you want to be.
The day is part of Recognising Potential, the university's portfolio focused on widening access to healthcare education and workforce development. There's a bigger picture behind it: the ambition is to establish the University of Derby Medical School and deliver an undergraduate MBChB programme, with the goal of welcoming its first students in September 2028. The University of Sunderland is the confirmed contingency partner for that.
Recognising Potential isn't just about this one day. The pathway offers hands-on experiences, an Access to HE (Medicine) diploma, and postgraduate and short courses for healthcare professionals, all rooted in the local community and delivered alongside NHS partners. This particular session fits into that, giving you a full day of interview preparation when you're right in the thick of your applications.
