University of Cambridge Medicine Interview: What Cambridge Publishes, and What It Does Not
Cambridge describes its medicine interview without ever naming it an MMI or a panel, so this page gives you the description rather than a label. Cambridge publishes one of the five things a candidate needs and is silent on four: no format label, no station count, no station length and no dates. Both halves are on this page.
What Cambridge does not publish about its medicine interview
- Whether it is an MMI or a panel
- How many stations
- How long each station lasts
- When interviews run
We checked Cambridge's own admissions pages rather than a third-party summary. Anything you find elsewhere on the points above has not been confirmed against a page Cambridge publishes, and should be treated that way.
What Cambridge publishes about the format
- Format
- The school describes its interview without ever calling it an MMI or a panel, so no format label can honestly be attached to it.
- Stations
- Cambridge does not publish how many stations.
- Time per station
- Cambridge does not publish how long a station lasts.
- Online or in person
- Both, depending on the applicant.

University of Cambridge in its own words
Interviews are arranged by the individual colleges. Cambridge says most applicants have one or two interviews lasting a total of 35 minutes to an hour, and that some have three or four depending on subject and college. Whether interviews run online or in person is set college by college, and a number of colleges vary it by where the applicant is based. Cambridge does not give Medicine a format label such as MMI or panel. Its admission-tests table lists only the UCAT against Medicine (Standard Course A100), with no additional written assessment.
When interviews run
We read University of Cambridge's admissions policy pages on 2026-09-01 and found no interview window published for medicine. We are not filling that in with a typical season, because a date a student plans around has to come from the school.
