Swansea University (Graduate Entry Medicine) Medicine Interview

Swansea assesses its graduate-entry applicants at an in-person Assessment Day at the Singleton Park campus. Recent cycles have used three roughly 20–30 minute face-to-face stations that blend interview questions with a presentation task and a role-play scenario — it is not a pure MMI. Stations assess motivation for graduate-entry medicine, ethics, empathy, teamwork, leadership and resilience, and you should expect to be questioned on your personal statement. Any offer is based solely on interview performance.

How MMI scoring works

A weak station can't be rescued by a strong one, so consistency matters more than a single standout answer.
