An individual interview is a one‑to‑one discussion with a lecturer or curriculum manager and forms an important part of the application process for some courses. The interview provides an opportunity to talk in more detail about your interests, career aspirations, and reasons for applying, as well as any relevant education, work, or life experience you bring.
During the discussion, the interviewer will also explore your understanding of the course and assess your readiness to study at the required level. This approach allows the college to gain a fuller picture of your personal strengths, motivation, and commitment, while also giving you the chance to ask questions and determine whether the course is the right fit for you.
Please note depending on which course you have applied for, you may be interviewed via MS teams or face to face.
