UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER · MEDICINE INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Prepare for your Leicester Medicine interview with confidence.
Leicester's Medicine interview process combines Multiple Mini Interviews with a basic numeracy test.
The university assesses how applicants communicate, reflect on their experiences, approach problems and demonstrate the personal qualities expected of future doctors.
Our Leicester-focused preparation offers guided discussion, realistic interview practice and constructive feedback to help you approach the process with greater confidence.
Leicester uses Multiple Mini Interviews to assess applicants' personal and professional qualities. Its interview process also includes a basic numeracy test.
For 2027 entry, home applicants are expected to attend face-to-face interviews, while international applicants are expected to be interviewed online.
Approximately one hour of MMIs, with a basic numeracy test included in the interview process. Allow additional time for registration, waiting and administration as directed in your invitation.
Stage 4 examples include communication, motivation, empathy and comprehension. Leicester has not published a fixed number of MMI stations or a numerical pass threshold for its numeracy test on the main admissions page.

Leicester publishes a detailed list of personal and professional attributes assessed through its MMI process. We’ve organised these qualities into six preparation themes to make them easier to understand.
These six themes are MediBrain UK groupings of Leicester’s published qualities, not six official Leicester MMI stations. The published qualities are not 18 separate stations.
MediBrain UK preparation: Reflect on why medicine appeals to you and develop the ability to discuss your personal experiences with self-awareness.
MediBrain UK preparation: Explore what you have learned from your experiences and how you take responsibility for decisions and outcomes.
MediBrain UK preparation: Practise communicating clearly, listening to others and contributing constructively to discussions.
MediBrain UK preparation: Discuss experiences that demonstrate consideration for others and an understanding of different perspectives.
MediBrain UK preparation: Practise evaluating unfamiliar situations, recognising uncertainty and explaining a thoughtful approach.
MediBrain UK preparation: Reflect on how you organise responsibilities, respond to challenges and learn from setbacks.
Ethical judgement is also a published quality and runs across these preparation themes, particularly reflection, responsibility and responding to uncertainty.
The Selection Policy groups assessment under communication skills, problem-solving, personal qualities and values, motivation and suitability, empathy and compassion, organisational ability and numeracy.

Our preparation translates Leicester's published assessment qualities into practical exercises that help applicants communicate naturally and reflect meaningfully.
Practise discussing why you want to study medicine and what experiences influenced your decision.
Explore meaningful lessons from work experience, volunteering and other responsibilities.
Practise listening, speaking and organising ideas in unfamiliar discussions.
Consider professional values, competing perspectives and responsible decision-making.
Practise reasoning through situations where information may be incomplete.

Leicester includes a basic numeracy test because numerical accuracy is important for patient safety. The university explains that the assessment largely involves mental arithmetic and does not require prior medical knowledge or memorising formulae.
Mental arithmetic is the main focus.
The university does not expect specialist medical knowledge.
Applicants do not need to learn formulae specifically for the test.
The test has a pass mark. Leicester reviews the threshold depending on the questions used; no fixed numerical threshold is published on the main page.

Leicester explains that its MMI stations are scored and applicants are ranked using their total interview performance.
Each station contributes to the interview assessment. The 2027 Selection Policy states that stations are equally weighted.
Assessors also indicate whether they would be happy for an applicant to receive an offer. Candidates with a good overall score but an adverse assessor indication may be asked for a second interview.
Applicants are ranked by total interview score. Leicester reviews relevant application information before making offers, placing candidates on a waiting list or rejecting applications. Borderline cases receive additional review; tied rankings may be resolved using all aspects of the application.
Meeting academic requirements or attending interview does not guarantee an offer. MediBrain UK’s original mock interviews do not use Leicester’s official marking rubric.
