University of Portsmouth Dentistry Interview: How the Panel Works

University of Portsmouth Dentistry interviews with a panel interview. Portsmouth publishes two of the three things a candidate needs and is silent on one: no dates. Both halves are on this page.

When interviews run

We checked Portsmouth's own admissions pages rather than a third-party summary. Anything you find elsewhere on the points above has not been confirmed against a page Portsmouth publishes, and should be treated that way.

What Portsmouth publishes about the format

Format: Panel interview, one continuous conversation with more than one interviewer.
Stations: A panel interview is one continuous conversation, so there is no station circuit.
Time per station: Not applicable to a panel format.
Online or in person: The applicant chooses.

University of Portsmouth in its own words

Portsmouth's course page says two different things. Its selection-process section says all shortlisted applicants are invited to attend an interview, 'either an individual online interview or an on campus interview'. Its admissions FAQ, further down the same page, says that if you are shortlisted through to interview stage 'this will consist of an online panel interview', and that interviews are anticipated for December 2026 and January 2027, with decisions expected in February 2027 and offers going out in March 2027. Portsmouth has not reconciled the two, so an on-campus interview remains on the page alongside the online panel one. The word 'semi-structured' appears nowhere on the page.

When interviews run

We read University of Portsmouth's admissions policy pages on 2026-09-04 and found no interview window published for dentistry. We are not filling that in with a typical season, because a date a student plans around has to come from the school.
