For 2023, Liverpool will use an online semi-structured interview. These interviews are scheduled for from January until February 2023.Â
The admissions process is designed to be fully in line with the General Medical Council’s Selecting for Excellence Report and Values Based Recruitment.Â
Liverpool University typically used a seven-station multiple mini interview (MMI). Each station was six-minutes in duration with a one-minute break between. The main attributes assessed were:
The first four attributes were scored as poor, satisfactory, good, very good or excellent, and then converted to a numerical score. The numeracy component was scored on a point basis, with each correct answer being worth one point and contributing to the candidate’s overall score in the interview (there were a maximum of 120 points that can be scored in the interview).

Motivation and Insight into Medicine – This station will not only examine your motivation to study medicine but also your genuine interest in the medical profession and medical based topics. Recent questions have included:
General/Personal Statement Station – This station will involve typical interview questions regarding the attributes you possess, such as your ability to work as a member of a team, your ability to take responsibility for your actions, honesty and be self-reflective.
Ethical Scenarios – The ethics station consists of two six-minute stations. In the first station, applicants will be given an ethical scenario to consider and are allowed to make notes. In the subsequent station, an interviewer will lead a discussion on the scenario. For further details on how to approach Ethical Scenarios as well as a range of practice scenarios with model answers, subscribe to the Online MMI Question Bank.
Calculation Tasks – The numeracy station usually involves five questions with multiple choice options as well as a calculator provided. The challenge is often more related to deciphering relevant information than completing complex calculations. Questions may also involve drug, dosage and flow rate calculations which are likely to be unfamiliar to many candidates. For a range of practice calculation tasks as well as techniques for these question types, review the Online MMI Question Bank.
