How to prepare for a uni interview

Is there one UK university you would love to study at? Or have you found the perfect course for you? As part of the application process, they may want you to attend an interview or submit your work to see if you're the right kind of student.

Individual needs?

No matter what background or specific needs you may have, education is an inclusive environment. Find out how universities and colleges can help you throughout your higher education.

International events

It's a good idea to talk about your higher education options in person. Go to a course provider open day to explore the campus and get insights from staff and students – or take a virtual tour. We also recommend you go to UK events or one of the British Council events around the world. You'll find lots of helpful advice, and can ask any questions you may have.

Interviews

Before you're offered a place on a teacher training programme, you'll have an interview. Here's what training providers look for and what they may ask.
