UK Dental School Interview Guides

How every UK dental school runs its selection interview — MMI or panel, in person or online, station count, timing and what to prepare. Pick a school for the full breakdown.

How UK dental school interviews work

Most UK dental schools interview by MMI — a timed circuit of 6–10 short stations, each with its own interviewer and topic (ethics, communication, motivation, role-play, teamwork, data handling). A few use a traditional panel instead, and several add a manual-dexterity task or a group exercise. Formats change year to year — always confirm with each school.
