LANCASTER MEDICAL SCHOOL · 2027 INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Prepare for your Lancaster Medicine MMI with confidence.
Lancaster's Medicine interviews use a series of short assessments designed to explore your suitability for a medical career.
The university's published format includes short interviews and may involve reading, video-based discussion, communication or group-work activities.
Our Lancaster-focused preparation helps you become more comfortable with these different tasks through guided practice and constructive feedback.
Lancaster Medical School uses Multiple Mini Interviews to assess applicants before making offers.
For 2027 entry, interviews will take place online using Microsoft Teams. The university explains that most stations last five minutes and that the activities can vary between stations.
Lancaster has not specified a fixed number of stations or an overall interview duration in its 2027 admissions policy.

MediBrain UK is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lancaster University.
MMIs are Stage 3 of selection. Trained interviewers assess each station against defined criteria, with station scores contributing to the overall interview assessment. Interviewers may include university staff, NHS clinicians, local GPs, patients, public representatives and current medical students.
Lancaster’s published admissions policy describes several possible MMI activities. Understanding the range of tasks can help you prepare to respond thoughtfully, whatever form a station takes.
Short Interview Stations
Some stations involve short interviews, with questions that may explore career choice, work experience or suitability for a medical career.
Reading & Discussion
Applicants may be asked to read a paragraph, take notes and discuss the material at a subsequent station.
Video-Based Discussion
Some stations may involve watching a video clip, taking notes and discussing it at a subsequent station.
Communication & Group Work
Other stations may assess communication or group-work skills.
These are possible activity types. All four are not guaranteed in every applicant’s MMI.
