Portsmouth dentistry interview
How Portsmouth runs its dentistry interview: format, stations and timings.
On the day
The school's FAQ says an online panel interview in December 2026 and January 2027; its selection block says 'either an individual online interview or an on campus interview'. Expect an online panel unless your invitation says otherwise.
A brand new dental school: 2027 is the first intake open to home applicants, so there are no past applicant reports and no format detail beyond one sentence and one FAQ.
Shortlisting weighs personal statement, UCAT and GCSE and A level results together; a stronger showing elsewhere can partly offset a lower UCAT.
The interview is weighed alongside the rest of the application; no split is published. Shortlisting follows UCAT results in November, decisions are expected in February 2027 and offers in March. 25 funded home places plus capacity for 20 international students.
