Ulster Medicine Interview Questions

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

Ulster interview format

Ulster invites applicants who meet the degree and GAMSAT requirements to a Multiple Mini Interview, and the admissions decision follows the MMI. You need at least 50 in each GAMSAT section to be considered for interview. Ulster's published MMI blueprint maps the stations to insight and integrity, teamwork, organisation and problem solving, ethical and moral reasoning, communication, empathy, and preparation and motivation for medicine. Ulster does not publish a station count, station timings or the delivery mode for this cycle. Check your invitation for current timings.
