A course for applicants ready to practise
This course is for applicants to GKT School of Medical Education 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 King's
Understand what to expect from the King's 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 King's 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 King's.
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 King's. They sat the same interview recently, so they can run realistic mock stations in the King's 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.
King’s medicine interview questions and format
King’s medicine interviews for 2027 entry will be conducted remotely and are usually held between December and April. If you are invited, King’s will give you further information about the interview format and process through the King’s Apply portal, so read this carefully before your interview.
King’s says its interviews are designed to assess communication skills, ethical reasoning, understanding of current and relevant healthcare issues, motivation for studying medicine and overall suitability for the programme and the profession. Interviewers have no prior knowledge of you before they meet you, so be ready to explain your experiences and what you have learnt from them.
How to prepare for your King’s medicine interview
Get to know King’s and prepare your examples
Think about why you want to study medicine at King’s and what appeals to you about an integrated curriculum that combines medical science with clinical teaching, with a focus on learning in close contact with patients. King’s looks for a realistic appreciation of the demands of medicine, so reflect on what your work experience or roles with the public taught you about communication and teamwork. You do not need polished answers yet, but having examples to draw on gives you a useful starting point.
Put your preparation into practice on our live interview course
Spend a day with current King’s medical students who have successfully been through the interview. Your tutors will work through examples before you practise answering questions out loud in mock interviews. You will receive personal feedback and learn from watching other applicants and hearing their feedback.Leave with a clearer idea of what to work on, whether that is choosing stronger examples, explaining what you learnt or making your answers more concise.
Book a mentor session for additional 1:1 practice
If you would like more individual support, book a mentoring session with a current King’s medical student. Use the time for mock interview practice and personal feedback on the areas you want to improve. Mentoring sessions are booked and paid for separately; they are not included in the live interview course.
Common questions about the King's interview course
Will I practise the exact questions King's 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 King's College London course?
No. This is an independent Medibuddy course, not run or endorsed by King's College London.
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 King's. 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 GKT School of Medical Education, 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.
Can King’s take mitigating circumstances into account for my interview?
No. King’s operates a fit-to-sit policy, so it cannot take mitigating circumstances into account when reviewing interview performance. If an issue arises during your interview that you think affected your performance, notify the admissions team as soon as possible.
When will I hear from King’s after my medicine interview?
King’s considers applications competitively across the whole cycle, so you should not expect a final decision straight after your interview. The school aims to notify all applicants of final decisions by the end of May at the latest.
