Queen's University Belfast
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)
The interview day
How it actually runs
official QUB pages describe a 12-station circuit for home/in-person candidates (9 assessed + 3 rest stations) and a 7-station MMI for international/stage-two candidates; independent guides cite slightly different counts (7-9), so treat exact numbers as indicative

How to prepare for Queen's University Belfast
- Each station is scored independently by a different assessor — a weak station doesn't sink the ones before or after it, so reset your mindset walking into each one.
- Ethics questions are scored on your reasoning process, not on landing on the "correct" verdict — show your working.
- Practise explaining something familiar to you in plain language — examiners are checking whether you can be understood by someone with no medical background.
- Show empathy through specific behaviour in your answers (what you said or did), not just by stating that you're "a caring person".
- Structure your reasoning explicitly — state your assumptions, weigh the options, then give your answer, rather than jumping straight to a conclusion.
