The MMI is the most widely used interview format for medical school entry in the UK, typically consisting of 8–10 short stations, each lasting around five minutes and led by a different interviewer. Candidates rotate through scenarios designed to test a wide range of skills essential for a future in medicine. To replicate this experience as authentically as possible, the College welcomed an impressive panel of guests from the local medical community. These included professors of medical ethics, members of the General Medical Council Board, and experienced GPs with decades of service. Many visiting interviewers commented on the enthusiasm, maturity and professionalism shown by the students throughout the day. The mock MMI forms part of the **Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary (MDV) Science pathway** within the College’s **High Performers Programme**, an ambitious and highly tailored support programme designed to help students succeed and progress to the most competitive universities and degree courses. The programme offers targeted preparation, expert guidance and enrichment opportunities to ensure students are fully equipped for demanding application processes.

During the mock MMI, students were assessed across key areas commonly examined in real medical school interviews. These included roleplay and communication skills, motivation for studying medicine, ethical reasoning and decision-making, knowledge and insight into the NHS, teamwork, and a range of personal attributes vital for a successful medical career. The College plans to continue strengthening its links with medical professionals in the community, recognising the immense value these partnerships bring to students at this crucial stage in their academic journeys. ### Medical Mock MMI [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1125.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1125.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1128.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1128.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1274.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1274.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1280.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/medical-mock-mmi/IMG_1280.jpeg) - [ previous](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2025-10-31-spooktacular-halloween-fest-brings-fun-and-frights-to-birkenhead-sixth-form-college) - [next ](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2025-12-19-college-production-dazzles-audiences-with-a-night-on-broadway) ### [Latest News](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news) [![Image of Halloween Fest brings spooky fun to College](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/750x480c/news/Halloween_Fest_26_-_Photo_Montage.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2026-10-26-halloween-fest-brings-spooky-fun-to-college) 26 October 2026 #### [Halloween Fest brings spooky fun to College](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2026-10-26-halloween-fest-brings-spooky-fun-to-college) ### [Upcoming Events](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/events) [![Image of Open Evening](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/750x480c/events/Edited_Top_3.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/events/2026-11-26-open-evening) 26 November 2026 #### [Open Evening](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/events/2026-11-26-open-evening) ### [Blog](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog) [![Image of Students Secure 3rd Place in Merseyside Police Cyber Challenger 2025](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/750x480c/blog/IMG_0394.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog/2025-03-06-10-26-00-students-secure-3rd-place-in-merseyside-police-cyber-challenger-2025) 6 March 2025 #### [Students Secure 3rd Place in Merseyside Police Cyber Challenger 2025](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog/2025-03-06-10-26-00-students-secure-3rd-place-in-merseyside-police-cyber-challenger-2025) [Tweets by BSFC](https://twitter.com/BSFC) ![Top 3](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Top_3_Footer.jpg) ![Educate Awards - Most Inspirational Sixth Form](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Most_Inspirational_Winner_-_Banner_Rounded_Corners(1).jpg) ![Educate North College of the Year 2023](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/College_of_the_Year_Badge_-_Banner.jpg) [![Ofsted](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Ofsted_Outstanding_OP_Colour.png)](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50248883) [![TES Shortlist](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/For_Website_Partner.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2018-02-26-college-wins-national-sixth-form-college-of-the-year-award) [![Quality in Careers](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Quality_in_Careers_Standard_-_JPEG.jpg)](https://www.qualityincareers.org.uk/) ![CE Certified](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/new_ce_badge.png) [![Sixth Form Colleges Association](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/SFCA.jpg)](http://www.sixthformcolleges.org/) ![AoC](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Without_Border.jpg) [![Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/DofE-logo-gunmetal-full-RGB_(504x800)_(403x640).jpg)](http://www.dofe.org/) ![Birkenhead Sixth Form College](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/logo/logo-white(2).png) © Copyright 2011–2026 Birkenhead Sixth Form College All rights reserved. **Birkenhead Sixth Form College** Park Road West, Claughton Wirral, Merseyside, CH43 8SQ Tel: 0151 652 5575 Email: School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
