On the day
UK-based applicants interview in person at the Suttie Centre, Foresterhill, over a single December week, which is the only format the interview page lists in detail. The admissions team confirmed on The Student Room that international applicants not based in the UK were interviewed online on Tuesdays in January 2026, and the page itself points online interviewees to Medical Schools Council advice. The hour on site includes a short group briefing before the circuit; the school's FOI response puts the interview itself at about 30 minutes.
No reading material at any station; each 5 minute station is verbal questions on one domain, with two selectors scoring you and communication scored separately every time.
One in-person December week with no additional in-person dates; overseas-based international applicants were interviewed online in January instead. Adjustment requests must be made at least 5 days before.
No role play, per the school's own pre-interview webinar; expect about two set questions per station with conversational follow-ups.
Interview holders get a virtual information evening about two weeks before, and campus tours run alongside the interview days.
2 min to move between stations.
Interviewers see only your name, not your application.
Interview is 50% of the final score, combined with academic attainment/predictions (30%) and UCAT (20%); offers go to the highest total scores once all interviews are done.
