University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) Medicine Interview Questions (2025 Entry)

About UCLan Medical School (2025 Edition)

The UCLan School of Medicine, being fairly new, offers outstanding teaching in state-of-the-art facilities and a welcoming, multicultural environment. They help develop expertise in practical areas, including clinical, communication, observation, teamwork and leadership skills. The School of Medicine is ranked as the Top Medical School in North West England, emphasises how they have not only incorporated modern methods of teaching but are also responsive and supportive to student feedback to continually improve and enhance our learning experience.

The thing about Preston is that the campus is embedded near the town-centre, making the whole area very student-friendly. The campus, student accommodations, train station, shopping malls, restaurants, gyms and parks are all commutable by walk and take about 10-15 minutes maximum. If you are looking for an adventure over the weekend, the location of Preston allows you to access big cities like Manchester and Liverpool, which take less than an hour by train, or even remote scenic areas such as the Lake District! UCLan offers free gym membership and access to indoor sports at Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre and outdoor sports at the UCLan Sports Arena. Our website has details of over 150 sports and volunteering opportunities you can get involved in as a University student.

At UCLan, we have around 70 different societies for you to get involved in. The different societies run by various students cater for different interests, and all of them try to incorporate social events into their calendars. From political and campaigning groups, to expressing your creative passions, trying new hobbies or meeting people who share your nationality/religion, joining a society is the perfect way to meet like-minded people and get involved in social activities with both medics and non-medics. It doesn't matter what your interests are, there is always a social guaranteed for you here at UCLan. The Medical society holds an annual medical ball, quiz nights, sporting events, and other fun activities.

UCLan Medical Society (aka UMS/MedSoc) is the School’s oldest society. It is renowned for organizing the annual medball, international evening where different cultures are promoted with either cuisine or performances, and a sports day to showcase the different skills that medics bring to the table in athleticism. Besides these big events, the UMS also hosts a lot of freshers events (e.g., stethoscope ceremony), quizzes throughout the year with Amazon prizes, and custom fleeces and hoodies, all with the aim of building a sense of community amongst the medics. A Clans system is also in place where seniors mentor juniors, and it is a system that spans across all 5 years in our medical school. We have a lot of information about the MedSoc on Instagram (@uclanmedsoc) and Facebook (UCLan Medical Society), including details about our very own student well-being support also accessible via the Instagram page.
