UK Medical School Interviews 2026: What to Expect at Every UK Medical School

Applying for Medicine in 2026? This hub brings together everything you need to prepare confidently for interviews at every UK medical school. We’ve organised clear, school-by-school guides so you can understand how each university conducts its interviews, what it assesses, and how to practise effectively.

What you’ll find for each medical school

  1. How the medical school interviews for 2026 entry — in-person/online, number of stations, timings, scoring approach.

  2. Interview style — MMI, panel, or hybrid (plus any role-play or group components).

  3. When interviews are held — typical windows and timelines to help you plan.

  4. Topics you should expect — motivation for Medicine, work experience reflection, NHS values, ethics, communication, data/graph interpretation, teamwork, resilience, and current healthcare issues.

  5. Who gets interviewed and who gets offers — available figures on interview invitations and offer rates, explained in plain English.

  6. Extensive example stations and questions — real samples where known; if unpublished, we provide realistic, school-specific practice prompts to guide targeted preparation.

  7. When offers are released — typical dates and how schools communicate outcomes.

  8. Top tips for success — school-specific advice on structure, timing, and common pitfalls.

Student comments (where available)

We highlight authentic student comments to give you practical insight into what a recent interview felt like — including pacing, question depth, and station emphasis. Look for the “Student comments” call-out box within each school guide. If verified comments aren’t available for a school, we’ll clarify that and focus on evidence-based preparation tips, along with high-quality sample stations to keep your practice realistic.

How to use this hub

  • Start broad: Read our overview of common interview themes and NHS values.

  • Go school-specific: Open the guide for each of your choices to align your practice with format, timing, and topics.

  • Practise deliberately: Use our example stations to rehearse aloud, time yourself, and refine your structure.

  • Reflect: Build concise reflections on your experiences, ethics scenarios, and teamwork — the areas most candidates underprepare.

Note: Interview formats and dates are subject to change. You should check each school’s admissions page in conjunction with our guides.
