How to prepare for UK universities interviews

Listen Later
  • Prepare answers for common questions
    • Most universities will want to know your answers to 'why do you want to study the subject?' and 'why do you want to go to this university?' Have your responses to these questions polished.
  • Revisit the university prospectus and course details, thinking about how you'd answer questions such as  ‘why this course?’ and ‘why this university?’.
  • Re-familiarise yourself with your personal statement and be prepared to elaborate on anything you’ve said.
  • Get someone (who hopefully knows a bit about your subject) to give you a mock interview. Having some interview practice beforehand will help to boost your confidence and expose areas you need to work on.
  • Make sure you’re aware of the latest issues in current affairs relevant to your subject – tutors may bring these into the discussion.
  • Prepare some questions to ask tutors – just make sure that they haven’t already been answered in information you've been sent by the university.

    • Listen for some common questions you could be asked.
