Overview
About Brunel Medical School
Brunel is a newer London-based medical school whose MMI is unusually scenario-heavy, leaning on data interpretation and on-the-spot reasoning.
What makes it different
New medical school still under GMC accreditation (Buckingham acts as contingency). Refused to publish UCAT cut-offs - anecdotally low. International offers are notably high in volume relative to home places.
Course & teaching
Integrated curriculum. Five-year MBBS with integrated theory and early clinical practice. Brunel partners with NHS West London for clinical placements (Hillingdon, Northwick Park, Ealing).
Research strengths
Brunel Medical School has notable research strength in Translational health, Public health, Cancer biology, Mental health.
Intercalation
Optional intercalated BSc - limited spaces.
Interview
Brunel Medical School interviews via Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI). MMI format with around 4-5 minutes per station. Heavy on scenario reasoning, data interpretation and inferences from given information rather than recall of memorised model answers. 1-minute reading time before each question.
Intake
~95 places per year (small newer cohort).

Tutor insight
Practise data-interpretation MMI questions specifically - Brunel's scenario-heavy approach is unusual. Use the 1-minute reading window to plan a structure rather than to start composing an answer; on-the-spot reasoning is what they are watching for.
