KING'S COLLEGE LONDON · MEDICINE INTERVIEW PREPARATION
King's College London Medical Interview Preparation
Prepare for your King's Medicine interview with confidence.
King's interviews explore more than academic achievement. They give you an opportunity to demonstrate how you communicate, approach difficult decisions, understand healthcare and reflect on your experiences.
Our King's-focused preparation helps you develop these skills through realistic interview scenarios, guided practice and constructive feedback.
What does King's look for in future medical students?
King's 2018 published MMI preparation material highlights the importance of communication, professional suitability, ethical awareness and decision-making.
These qualities are best developed through thoughtful reflection and practical experience, rather than memorising answers.
Our preparation helps you approach unfamiliar questions, communicate your reasoning and demonstrate your strengths naturally.

A Challenging Decision

Explain It Simply
Practise breaking down unfamiliar information into clear steps and checking that the other person understands.
