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.
Verbal questions only, on one domain per station; both selectors score you and communication is scored separately every time.
No alternative dates are offered if you cannot attend your slot, and adjustment requests must be made at least 5 days before the interview.
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 (the recording is sent to registrants), 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.
