KCL Medicine Interview Questions

Free practice questions for the King's College London (KCL) medicine interview, with the interview format taken from the university's own admissions pages.

KCL interview format

King's makes no offers without an interview and shortlists holistically on GCSEs, predicted or achieved grades, the wider application and the UCAT, with exam results and UCAT described as the most important factors. King's has not republished its interview format for 2027 entry. Its last published guidance described an online MMI of seven stations, each run by a different member of staff asking one question, with the final decision based on interview performance. Check your invitation for the format and timings you will sit.
