1 to 1 Chester medicine mock interview in the 6-station mmi format in Chester, run by a trained MedicHut interviewer. Recording and written feedback, £69.
Chester Medicine Interview Format 2027
Chester interviews take the form of six Multiple Mini Interviews and last about an hour and a half in total. Each station is scored by two trained assessors, drawn from medical professionals, academics, current students and lay people, and the stations are designed to assess you against the GMC's Good Medical Practice guidance. Chester does not publish station timings or whether the circuit runs on campus or online, so check your invitation before you plan your travel. After the MMIs, each candidate's score profile is reviewed to decide who gets an offer.
How Chester Selects for Interview
Graduate-entry only programme requiring an above-average score in UCAT, GAMSAT, or MCAT alongside degree classification.
All figures below are converted to the 2027 entry scale of 2700. 2024 intake, rescaled: lowest score invited to interview 1853 (was 2470/3600), mean interview UCAT 2024 (was 2698/3600), mean offer UCAT 2031 (was 2708/3600). The graduate route threshold of 2540/3600 is 1905 on the 2700 scale, with 570 in Verbal Reasoning, or GAMSAT, or MCAT 505 (min 127 CARS, no section below 125).

Common Chester Medicine Interview Mistakes
You describe healthcare experience from several years ago as if it still counts fully today. Why it happens: candidates assume experience has a long shelf life, not realising Chester's graduate entry course expects recent, direct contact within the last three years specifically.
You lean heavily on an online course to make up your hours total. Why it happens: online experience is easier to arrange under time pressure, so candidates default to it without checking Chester's specific ten hour cap on that type of experience.
You explain your first degree title clearly but do not explain what it actually taught you that is relevant to medicine. Why it happens: graduate applicants assume the degree itself is self evidently valuable and under prepare the reflection that Chester's stations are explicitly built to draw out.
You quote a UCAT or GAMSAT cut-off from a previous year as if it will apply to you. Why it happens: candidates rely on figures shared in forums or by past applicants, not realising Chester resets its threshold above the national mean every year.
Chester Medicine Interview Questions
Talk me through a piece of healthcare experience and what you learned about the Good Medical Practice domains from it. Why it matters: Chester scores each station against these domains, so a weak answer describes the experience without linking it to a domain.
How have your 70 hours of healthcare experience shaped your understanding of the role? Why it matters: Chester requires substantial hands on experience, and a strong answer draws specific lessons from direct patient contact, not shadowing alone.
Describe a time you had to learn something completely new under time pressure, relevant to graduate entry study. Why it matters: this checks readiness for the intensity of a four year graduate programme.
Tell me about a professional standard you think is easy to overlook. Why it matters: with clinicians, academics and lay assessors scoring together, this tests genuine understanding of professionalism from multiple perspectives.
How to Prepare for a Chester Medicine Interview
The session reproduces the six station mmi University of Chester Medical School uses, so the pacing, pressure and thinking being tested match the real day.
Six station graduate MMI. We build a circuit matching Chester's roughly ninety minute format across six stations, scored against Good Medical Practice domains.
Experience hours review. We check your healthcare experience answers show the hands on care role Chester specifically requires, not just shadowing.
One to one with a tutor. Your mock includes 30 minutes of interview and 30 minutes of feedback on structure and domain alignment.
Graduate entry pacing. We tailor question difficulty and follow up style to Chester's graduate entry expectations rather than school leaver level answers.
