Breakout session
This breakout session will benefit all levels of knowledge.

Summary

Interviews are still a critical hurdle for many students to cross for a significant range of subjects, and at some universities. It’s not just Oxford and Cambridge applicants, medics, nurses and vets who face interviews. Sharing key tips about preparing students for every type of interview, this session will help guidance practitioners to understand the who, what, why, when, where and how of university interviews.

The University of Manchester will share a practical set of strategies it has developed for schools and colleges in preparing students for interviews. The school jointly leading the session will outline how its own programmes prepare students for interview work.
