International/overseas applicants

If you are living in or visiting the UK during your course’s interview dates and wish to attend an in-person MMI instead, you are welcome to do so. In this case, we are unable to reimburse any associated travel expenses and you will be expected to arrange your travel in such a way that allows for reasonable delays and disruption, as we may not be able to accommodate re-booking onto a new slot because of any international travel delays. 

Whether you are attending in person or remotely, we are required to interview all of our applicants in a consistent way to ensure fairness and transparency in our processes. Therefore, we are unable to offer applicants an interview in a different format to the rest of the programme's applicants.

If you require our RMMI process to be adapted to your specific circumstances, please email interviews@sgul.ac.uk. Each request will be look at on a case-by-case basis. 

If you have not been offered an opportunity to interview remotely but feel that your circumstances prevent you from attending an in-person interview, please email us at interviews@sgul.ac.uk with details of your situation and we will consider your request. An acceptable reason for RMMI invite would be you are a home fee payer but live overseas or are unable to get to our campus by land-based transport. Another example would be that you have a specific health condition or concern that prevents you from coming onto campus at the time your course is interviewing, or you have Covid-19.

Please note that if you live in the UK and are able to get to our campus by land-based transport, we will be unable to accommodate your request. We are also unable to accommodate requests for a remote interview if it is due to failure to book onto an in-person interview before the final interview date passed.

You will be able to record your interview at any time up to 24 hours following 9:30am UK-time on the day of your interview. Please pick a time that is convenient to you, but we recommend starting sooner rather than later, in order to allow time for any potential technical issues or interruptions you may face. You must have finished your interview within this time. We recommend you begin recording your interview no later than 22 hours from the start time above to ensure successful submission.

RMMIs will be running during the regular interview cycle. For courses other than medicine, RMMIs will run from February to April, and slots will be released on a rolling basis. 

Interviews for the Medicine 5-year undergraduate programme (A100) run in late November and December each year, in person. We will be offering one session of RMMIs in early January 2024.  

Please pick a time that is convenient to you, but we recommend starting sooner rather than later, in order to allow time for any potential technical issues or interruptions you may face. 

You may have previously interviewed remotely at City St George’s or visited the Interview Hub page on our website, which outlined the process applicants followed to remotely interview in the 2021 and 2022 cycles. The process has now changed. Please disregard any previous interview processes you might have seen or followed. 

Please make sure to test your connectivity, video and microphone before you begin your RMMI. If you are having issues before beginning your RMMI, you may wish to try again at a later time or by using a different internet connection. If you unexpectedly experience any issues or concerns during your RMMI, please email interviews@sgul.ac.uk with your name and 6-digit candidate code immediately. The Admissions Interview team will then be in touch to assist you.

Please do not send multiple emails as this will delay our response time.

Please also be aware that our office hours are 9am to 5pm UK-time on weekdays, so if you are in a different time zone, we may not be able to respond immediately but will endeavour to reply as soon as possible. 

Please email interviews@sgul.ac.uk as soon as possible where your email will be processed and passed on to the relevant Admissions Officer. This must be done at least 48 hours before the start time of your scheduled interview (unless in response to an exceptional situation), otherwise we will not be able to reschedule your interview. 

If you are unable to attend your interview, the Admissions Officer for your course will contact you to rearrange, where possible. Due to the limited number of interview slots, please be aware that you may be asked to provide evidence as to why you are unable to attend your interview. Please see the interview schedule page for the last available interview. This must be done at least 48 hours before the start time of your scheduled interview (unless in response to an exceptional situation), otherwise we will not be able to reschedule your interview. 

Please note, we operate a fit-to-sit policy for our interviews, so by attending an interview for assessment, you are declaring yourself well enough to be assessed, and we will not be able to consider extenuating circumstances post-interview.
