Exeter / Interview
The Exeter interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered for most undergraduate courses. Medicine (BMBS) applicants are invited to a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) on campus after shortlisting.
How to prepare for Exeter
- Your personal statement is the primary tool for showing fit , Exeter's UCAS form asks three structured questions (up to 4,000 characters total), so make every answer course-specific and concrete.
- For most courses, demonstrating interest means visiting open days (on campus or virtual) and referencing specific modules, research centres, or staff in your statement.
- If applying for Medicine, the MMI is evaluative and carries significant weight , practice scenario-based stations focusing on communication, ethical reasoning, and NHS awareness rather than clinical knowledge.
- Check Exeter's course pages for any course-specific requirements (portfolio, audition, admissions test) as some programmes have additional steps beyond the personal statement.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
