Free practice questions for the Aston medicine interview, with the interview format taken from the university's own admissions pages.

Aston interview format

Aston runs Multiple Mini Interviews and says all its MMIs are held online, normally between December and March in your year of application. You move through several stations and are scored at each one, with the station scores combined into an overall score. Aston tests oral and written communication, listening, empathy, compassion, respect and dignity, emotional intelligence, problem solving, motivation, teamwork, being able to lead as well as follow, and knowing your limitations and when to ask for help. You are not tested on medical knowledge. Aston does not publish a station count or timings, so check your invitation.
