What format is the Ulster medicine interview?
Ulster runs a graduate entry MMI, historically at the Magee campus in Derry and online in some cycles, with stations on motivation, ethics, empathy including actor role play, teamwork, leadership and resilience. Ulster does not publish a station count or timings. Entry is GAMSAT only, the UCAT is not accepted, with a minimum of 50 in each section and a competitive overall threshold set each year, and the average overall GAMSAT for interviewees across recent cycles was around 59. Northern Ireland domiciled applicants are ranked in a separate pool from GB and international applicants, so comparing yourself to the wrong cohort's figures is a common error. Interviews run December to March.
