Brunel Medicine Interview Questions

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

Brunel interview format

Brunel runs a fully online, asynchronous virtual MMI, which is unlike almost every other UK medical school. There are six stations of seven minutes each, two minutes to read the scenario and five minutes to record your answer. You complete the stations in your own time within five days of the invitation and can take breaks between them. Each station is aligned to an attribute from Good Medical Practice and one assessor reviews your whole interview. There is no live interviewer to react to, so recorded practice matters more here than anywhere else.
