A course for applicants ready to practise
This course is for applicants to Brighton and Sussex Medical School who want more practice, specific feedback and confidence answering questions out loud.You do not need polished answers before you arrive. The day is there to help you develop them.
What you will get from the day
Teaching focused on Brighton and Sussex
Understand what to expect from the Brighton and Sussex interview and how to approach it. Your tutors will explain the format, work through examples and answer your questions, drawing on current published guidance and their own experience.
Interview practice with students who have been there
Practise explaining your thinking, choosing examples and responding when a question makes you pause. Your mocks are assessed by current Brighton and Sussex medical students who know what it is like to be in your position.
Feedback you can put into practice
Your tutors will help you identify what is working and where your answers need attention. That might mean a clearer opening, more reflection on an experience or a more concise explanation of your reasoning.
Leave with a clearer idea of your strengths and what to work on before interview day.
A chance to learn from other applicants
Watching other applicants and hearing their feedback helps you spot what makes an answer clear and where it loses focus. You may recognise habits in your own answers and find ways to improve them.

How the day works
Morning: teaching and worked examples
Explore how to explain your motivation for medicine, reflect on your experiences and approach questions relevant to Brighton and Sussex.
Afternoon: mocks and feedback
Put the teaching into practice through tutor-assessed mocks, personal feedback and observation.
Closing questions
Ask any remaining questions and plan your next steps. Breaks and lunch are built into the day.
The live course gives you the frameworks, the core topics and the confidence to handle any interview. To go further, book a 1:1 mentoring session with a current medical student from Brighton and Sussex. They sat the same interview recently, so they can run realistic mock stations in the Brighton and Sussex format, use the same timings, and give you honest, personal feedback on exactly what to improve. Mentoring is new to Medibuddy, and we're adding new mentors and medical schools all the time. Sessions are booked separately from the live course and run on video at a time that suits you. You can start before the course, use them afterwards to practise what you've learned, or save them for a final mock just before your interview.
Brighton and Sussex medicine interview questions and format
Brighton and Sussex’s medicine interviews for 2027 entry are multiple mini interviews (MMIs), running from December 2026 to February 2027. UK applicants can choose to attend in person in early December or early January, or online via Zoom in late January or early February, and BSMS describes the MMI as five timed stations of around 10 minutes each. Your interview invitation and joining instructions will confirm the format and timings for your interview.
BSMS suggests reflecting on your own experiences against the core values and attributes needed to study medicine, and thinking about why those qualities matter for doctors. Your preparation could cover your motivation for medicine, a realistic understanding of what working in healthcare involves, and what you have learnt from work experience, volunteering or part-time work.
How to prepare for your Brighton and Sussex medicine interview
Get to know Brighton and Sussex and prepare your examples
Think about why you want to study medicine at Brighton and Sussex and what appeals to you about the course, including its integrated curriculum and early clinical experience. BSMS says clinical experience is not required, so reflect on what any volunteering, caring or part-time work has shown you about the qualities a doctor needs. Having a few examples ready gives you a useful starting point.

Common questions about the Brighton and Sussex interview course
Will I practise the exact questions Brighton and Sussex will ask?
We use practice questions and scenarios to help you develop your approach. These draw on current published guidance and our tutors' experience, rather than a promise of the exact questions you will be asked.
Is this an official Brighton and Sussex Medical School course?
No. This is an independent Medibuddy course, not run or endorsed by Brighton and Sussex Medical School.
Should I prepare before attending?
Think about why you want to study medicine, what you have learnt from your experiences and why you are applying to Brighton and Sussex. Read the university's interview information too. You do not need to memorise answers.
What if I am nervous about practising in front of others?
That is a common reason to attend. You will practise with other applicants and supportive tutors, giving you a chance to work through the nerves before interview day.
Where does the course take place?
The whole course runs live online on Google Meet, so you can join from home. After booking you will get a Google Calendar invite with the Meet link and a confirmation email. Join with the email address you booked with.
Can I attend if I am under 18?
Yes. The course is designed for applicants to Brighton and Sussex Medical School, including those under 18.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel for a full refund with at least 48 hours' notice before the course starts. To cancel or ask a question, email info@medibuddy.co.uk.
Is there an advantage to choosing an in-person or online Brighton and Sussex interview?
No. BSMS states there is no advantage to either format, and the questions and mark schemes are the same whether you attend in person or online. Choose the option that suits you best, and check your joining instructions for what you need on the day.
Do I need to bring ID to my Brighton and Sussex medicine interview?
Yes. BSMS asks you to present photo ID at the start of your interview, with your name clearly shown in English and a clear photo. If you cannot confirm your identity, you will not be interviewed, so check your document well in advance.
