What format is the Lancaster medicine interview?

Lancaster runs a values based MMI, most recently around seven to eight stations of about seven minutes, in person on the Bailrigg campus for home applicants with an online option used for international applicants. Stations cover motivation, communication, ethics, teamwork, reflection, role play and a data or prioritisation task, and no academic knowledge is tested. Lancaster's published 2026 entry UCAT figures were 1,920 out of 2,700 for UK non contextual applicants, 1,870 contextual and 1,900 overseas, with SJT Bands 1 to 3 expected. Lancaster does not accept resits unless you qualify under contextual admissions. Interviews run December to March. Because the course is problem based, you need a specific answer for why Lancaster rather than Liverpool, Manchester, UCLan or Edge Hill.

How Lancaster selects for interview

Combines UCAT, GCSEs and personal statement for shortlisting; also accepts EPQ in place of one A-level grade.

2026 entry published cut-offs: UK non-contextual 1920, contextual 1870, overseas 1900; averages 2090 / 2010 / 1970. Predicted 2027 cut-offs: 1940 non-contextual, 1880 contextual.

Typical academic offer: AAA incl. any two of Biology/Chemistry/Psychology (AAB with an A in EPQ also considered; Biology or Chemistry required even without the other if Psychology is also taken) (2027 entry data).
