How the UMFST Medicine interview route works
The 2026 methodology says admission covers personal-statement assessment, previous-activity assessment and an online interview. Candidates are ranked in descending order of scores and in the order of application.
Personal statement
UMFST asks for a one-page statement about motivation, medical plans, readiness and relevant extracurricular activity.
Previous activity
High school grades and proven extracurricular activities are assessed according to the university grid.
Online interview
The interview evaluates compatibility with the medical profession and language skills for the English-taught programme.
For Medimentor positioning, this is a file-and-interview route. Strong Biology and Chemistry still matter for medical-school readiness and backup choices, but this page should not imply that UMFST Medicine has a written subject entrance exam for the 2026 international route.
