Your Dental Journey bringing it all together
As your dental journey reaches its most decisive stage, the interview is where everything comes together. Academic performance, UCAT preparation, personal insight, and motivation are all tested — not on what you say, but how you think, communicate, and reflect under pressure.
Our interview preparation is designed to help students approach this final stage with confidence and clarity. We focus on developing structured answers, clear communication, and thoughtful reflection, ensuring students sound authentic, composed, and genuinely suited to dentistry.
Preparation is tailored to each student’s target universities, recognising that interview styles, expectations, and scoring criteria vary widely across dental schools.
Why This Stage of Your Dental Journey Matters
The interview is often the final decision-making stage for dental schools. Strong performance here can turn a competitive application into an offer.
At this stage of the journey, effective preparation:
Demonstrates suitability for dentistry beyond grades
Shows ethical reasoning and professional awareness
Highlights communication and interpersonal skills
Differentiates strong candidates in a competitive field
This stage ensures that months of preparation are translated into confident performance.
Tailored, University-Specific Preparation
Our interview preparation is never generic. Sessions are designed around the specific interview formats used by individual dental schools.
Students receive:
MMI and panel interview practice
University-specific station preparation
Ethics and professionalism frameworks
Structured feedback on content and delivery
This approach ensures students understand not only what to say, but how to say it in a way interviewers recognise immediately.
Guided by Those Who’ve Completed the Journey
Interview preparation is delivered by dental students who have successfully navigated the same process.
Our mentors:
Have received multiple dental interview offers

Students are guided by those who understand both the pressure and the process.

Clear preparation plans and timelines
Honest feedback focused on improvement

Preparation aligned with professionalism and conduct expectations
Student Reviews
“I used to struggle with structuring my answers and would often waffle under pressure. The interview prep sessions helped me organise my thoughts clearly and answer questions in a logical way. I felt much more confident going into my interviews knowing I had a clear approach for every station.”
— Omar H., Dental Applicant
“Before YDJ, I sounded either too rehearsed or unsure of myself. The mock interviews were very realistic, and the feedback helped me sound confident while still being natural. I learned how to talk about my experiences properly without forcing answers.”
— Layla S., Year 13 Applicant
“Ethics stations used to really worry me because I didn’t know how to structure my answers. YDJ taught me a simple framework that made everything clearer. By the time of my real interview, I felt calm and prepared because I knew exactly how to approach any ethical scenario.”
— Khalid A., Dentistry Applicant
