Structured interviews that combine technical problem-solving with motivation and personal statement discussion.
Imperial interviews vary by department. Engineering and Computing tend to be technical with problem-solving elements. Medicine uses a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) format with several short stations. Most interviews last 15-30 minutes and may include a presentation or group exercise.
