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 Brunel Medical School 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.
Brunel Medical School 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).
Brunel Medical School research strengths
Brunel Medical School is strong in these research areas:
- Translational health
- Public health
- Cancer biology
- Mental health
Intercalation at Brunel Medical School

How the Brunel Medical School interview runs
Format: Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI)

Brunel Medical School 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.
