They'll possibly asking questions about experience, ambitions and possibly through in scenarios and 'what if' questions.

As Fozz mentioned previously, just be yourself and show how passionate you are for the subject (without going over the top haha).

I would suggest you research follow on courses/careers, so that your path is planned out and you can explain what you would be looking to do on successful completion of the course.

If they can fill the course with passionate people, planning to work in the sector and move on to additional courses with the uni, they will do that - rather than fill the class with professional course takers Wink

Yeah, just be yourself and try not be nervous.

As long you're enthusiastic and can hold a basic conversation which demonstrates some knowledge (or interest) about whichever subject you've chosen to study, you should sail through easily.


RE: Sunderland Uni - Michael - 03 Sep 2013

Cheers, is 22 to old to go to Uni? haha


RE: Sunderland Uni - BJ10VUS - 03 Sep 2013

They might ask you a question to try and catch you out. For example, why have you chosen Sunderland University over Newcastle University? As long as you're confident and keep eye contact ( without it becoming staring Tongue), you should do fine!

Good luck and of course 22 isn't too old for University! Smile
