Applying for Medicine in 2026? This hub brings together everything you need to prepare confidently for interviews at every UK medical school.

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.
