Queen Mary / Interview
The Queen Mary interview
Interview by invitation, and it carries significant weight in the decision. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
Interview by invitation
Required MMI (Multiple Mini Interview) for Medicine and Dentistry only; no interview for the vast majority of courses. MMIs held on campus, typically January-March.
How to prepare for Queen Mary
- Interviews are only required for Medicine (A100) and Dentistry (A200) , if you are applying to any other course, there is no interview and the UCAS personal statement is your sole opportunity to show personality and motivation.
- For Medicine/Dentistry applicants, prepare thoroughly for the MMI format: short, timed stations each with a different assessor testing communication, ethical reasoning, and empathy , not subject knowledge alone.
- UCAT performance feeds into whether you receive an MMI invitation, so strong UCAT preparation is the gating step before interview prep matters.
- For non-Medicine applicants, invest time in the three-question UCAS personal statement , QMUL weights predicted grades and that written statement heavily in lieu of any interview.
Practice before the real thing
