University of Southampton Medicine Interview: What Southampton Publishes, and What It Does Not
Southampton describes its medicine interview without ever naming it an MMI or a panel, so this page gives you the description rather than a label. Southampton publishes two of the five things a candidate needs and is silent on three: no format label, no station count and no station length. Both halves are on this page.
What Southampton does not publish about its medicine interview
- Whether it is an MMI or a panel
- How many stations
- How long each station lasts
We checked Southampton'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 Southampton publishes, and should be treated that way.
What Southampton 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
- Southampton does not publish how many stations.
- Time per station
- Southampton does not publish how long a station lasts.
- Online or in person
- Both, depending on the applicant.
