Brighton and Sussex Medical School uses Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI). They typically have five stations, each ten minutes in length. Successful candidates must score at least a ‘good’ at each station. Candidates are assessed on the following during the interview:
For the current cycle, interviews will be conducted remotely using Zoom. Expect interviews to take place in January. There will be no testing on work experience.
As with any interview, it is all about managing the interviewer’s perception of you and painting yourself in the best light possible. The MMI process means that you must impress a larger number of people over a shorter time period. The key to managing this form of interview is to ensure that your focus remains on the current station, rather than previous ones (which may or may not have gone as well as expected). There are two minutes between stations, in which to read the instructions/task and to refocus before the interview begins.

​General/Personal Statement Station: This station often requires you to link your work experience to the broader aspects of medicine. This may include questions such as:
Ethical Dilemma: These stations often have no clear right or wrong answer and instead test your ability to consider the situation at hand, and provide a balanced answer. Knowledge of the four ethical principles and GMC Good Medical Practice are likely to be of great use to you in this station. A range of MMI Ethics Stations and model answers can be found in the MMI Question Bank.
