Interviews

  • You might be invited for an interview so that admissions staff can meet you and discuss your application more fully. This gives you a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the course and about the university generally, so make the most of it.
  • Universities have very different policies on whether or not they will interview you if you have applied for a place. Within the same university some departments will interview candidates and some will not.
  • Some interviews are quite formal, but they can be more of a chat - find out what kind of interview you are going to.
  • You are more likely to be interviewed if you are applying for a course that leads to a vocational qualification or when there are more applicants than places available.
  • In many cases one person from the department you have applied to will interview you. For some courses, such as Teaching, Physiotherapy or Architecture there may someone to represent the profession in addition to someone from the department.
