University of Dundee Medicine Interview

Dundee has dropped the MMI. Its interview is now group-based: a roughly 30-minute group discussion of a given scenario with about five other applicants (broad prompts are provided to structure it), followed by a structured assessor-led discussion where your reasoning is probed individually. It assesses communication, group working, personal values and professionalism. In-person and online interviews both run in January.

How MMI scoring works

Each station is scored independently by its own interviewer, usually against three or four fixed domains — communication, problem-solving or initiative, and integrity or moral reasoning are the common ones. A weak station can't be rescued by a strong one, so consistency matters more than a single standout answer.
