8 stations on the day

UCL declined to tell us which stations it runs.

On the day

On campus (Rockefeller Building) for Home fee payers, with sign-in and a short briefing half an hour before the circuit starts and an optional student-led campus tour afterwards; overseas applicants are interviewed online following a similar process.

Stations are short (5 minutes, 2 to 3 questions) with 1 minute to read instructions; interviewers mark on an iPad.

Questions follow an NHS values-based approach (patients first, respect and dignity, compassion, everyone counts).

Interviewers challenge and follow up rather than just listen: expect to be interrupted and probed, and each station is marked by a fresh interviewer who has not seen your earlier stations.

Arrive half an hour early for sign-in and a briefing, bring photo ID and a water bottle for the circuit; an optional 45 minute student-led campus tour follows.
