Student Testimonial
‘I took part in the Interview Masterclass in London. Before the masterclass my main struggle was knowing where to begin my practice as it can be quite overwhelming hearing and so many different opinions online about the best strategies, however, after the masterclass I had a really clear structure on how to first get the necessary information on board and then how to apply it to different question types. It also makes you a lot more confident in your abilities which I found made all my interview practice a lot less stressful following the masterclass. It helped me get three offers so definitely would recommend!‘

Day 1 Topics
Day 1 of our Medicine Interview Course consists of interactive seminars which cover the following topics:
How do you introduce yourself? Did you know there’s a correct way to do it? Don’t worry, we’ll help you out.
Strategy and structure are very important when it comes to the interview process. You can have incredible knowledge of a topic but waffle on and run out of time in a question. We teach you exactly how to structure each answer and impress your examiners. We’ll also select some students to demonstrate in front of the class – it’s nerve-wracking but very useful!
It’s very common to answer a different question than the interviewer intended to ask. This course will cover “buzzwords” that will really help you understand exactly what a question is asking.
Communication skills are absolutely vital. These can be categorised as verbal and non-verbal. We’ll go through exactly what you can do to ensure you’re displaying all of your best qualities and communicating the way that would be expected of a medical student.
Learn everything you need to know about medical ethics as well as how to go about studying more in your own time if you so wish.
We save you from overzealousy studying the student BMJ and news articles by providing you the briefs on current hot topics, as recent news can easily come up in an interview. You’ll also receive a reading list to cover in your own time.
Learn all the basics about the NHS and how it runs. You’d be surprised how much you don’t know! It’s these extras that can really impress an examiner and show how keen you are to work as a doctor.
There are a lot of common questions that come up time and time again, sometimes with slightly different wording. We’ll ensure you cover all of these.

Day 2
Putting what you learn into practice
Putting what you learn into practice is where most students slip up, which is why we throw you in the deep end and give you the chance to practice randomly selected medicine interview questions in real time. Day 2 consists of a simulated MMI with examiners and actors (who are medical/dental students or doctors) to give you the most realistic experience in preparation for your interview(s). We won’t expect you to be perfect at this stage, so learning where to improve is vital. Our examiners will give you feedback at each station to help you strengthen your interview skills.
Stations will likely include the following question types, but may vary:
- ESSAY QUESTION
- ROLEPLAY
- COMMON QUESTION
- SITUATIONAL JUDGEMENT
- ETHICS
- PERSONAL STATEMENT
- UNCOMMON/”WEIRD” QUESTION
- GMC QUESTION
All attendees will receive a copy of our interview ebook which is filled with insightful interview material and practice questions. You’ll also receive a very warm welcome to the MedicHut Family!
The majority of our live interview courses are currently being held online, so students must have access to Zoom. We’ve worked tirelessly to ensure an excellent remote learning experience which matches our in-person courses, and thus far have received incredible feedback. If you have any questions about how this class will run online, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Some in-person dates will be available, usually in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle. Please select your preferred venue and date when booking.

Excellent; very helpful!!! they have a very friendly team that genuinely want you to succeed. The MMI masterclass gives all the information you need. they try to fit in everything they can and then they’ll send you useful links for the topics they couldn’t cover. So 100% would recommend the course 🙂
Jain
The MedicHut interview course was very useful. They taught you many structures and how to use them so when you carried out your MMI circuit you could apply them. The interviewers also give very detailed feedback which was very useful. I would highly recommend this to a friend
Tom G
Great course with an awesome mock MMI circuit that was really insightful in to how I reacted in an actual interview. The MMI course really was the cherry on the cake of an amazing course, would 100% recommend to anyone interested in doing MMIs. Amazing day, great value for money!
Patrycja
I found the session extremely helpful! It covered a whole depth of topics and touched into everything from ethics to situational judgment and personality based questions. The feedback was amazing and really analysed what went well and what could’ve been improved in great detail. I definitely feel a lot more confident for my real interview, which I was very stressed about prior. Thank you so much!
Sandra Boles
Very useful! Would certainly recommend for med school interview prep. The instructors are extremely friendly, and the webinar was interactive, and I had no questions at the end!
Mishaal
I took part in 1to1 tutoring as well as part of the MMI circuit and both were great. The tutors are all amazing. They’re extremely helpful and provided really detailed feedback on how I could improve and personalized lessons and in my experience are a lot more helpful and affordable than other companies. They genuinely want to help you get into medical school. Will 100% recommend them to anyone.
Zainab Y
This was a wonderful experience which really gave me an insight into what a real medicine interview will be like. It was incredibly interactive and very useful for helping me identify my weaknesses, as well as providing solutions to these. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who has an upcoming interview or wants an idea of how to approach particular questions.
Rocster
The experience was great! It was very interactive and the doctors and medical schools were engaged with us the whole time. The techniques that were taught are amazing and the final MMIs and Group Discussions with feedback make the whole experience worthwhile.
Jhanvee Patel
Interview MMI course is great, it’s a very interactive session so you can get the most out of the session, it’s not like they just talk to you like a lecture. And Iwould definitely recommend it to everyone 🙂
Rithika
The course was so useful as it outlines the structure of the answer for interview question, covered ethics, structure of NHS, History of NHS and current hot topics. The mock MMI interviews stimulated the experience so well and helped me feel more prepared. Such great value for money!
