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 Kent and Medway 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.

Afternoon: mocks and feedback

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 Kent and Medway. They sat the same interview recently, so they can run realistic mock stations in the Kent and Medway 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.
Kent and Medway medicine interview questions and format
Kent and Medway uses multiple mini interviews (MMIs), which are a mandatory part of the application process. In the previous admissions cycle, MMIs for home applicants took place in person in December at the University of Kent’s Canterbury campus, with dates and times booked through an online system. Your interview invitation will confirm the format, location and timings for your interview.
Kent and Medway looks for a realistic and committed attitude to medical training, a commitment to quality of care and compassion, and an understanding of NHS core values. Your preparation could cover your reasons for choosing medicine, how you communicate and work in a team, how you treat people with dignity and respect, and your willingness to accept responsibility.

Common questions about the Kent and Medway interview course
Will I practise the exact questions Kent and Medway 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 Kent and Medway Medical School course?
No. This is an independent Medibuddy course, not run or endorsed by Kent and Medway 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 Kent and Medway. 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.

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.
