How the interview works
- KMMS uses Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs), and attending is a mandatory part of your application.

- Each short station lasts 7 minutes, with a 3-minute interval between stations.
- Station types have included data handling, problem analysis, situational judgement, role-play, a task and a values-based scenario.
- In the group station you are assessed individually.
- The number and type of stations may change, but the timings are likely to stay the same.
- MMIs are held in person on the University of Kent Canterbury campus over several days.
- International applicants have had remote interviews with three short stations and a group station.
