Do Scottish universities do interviews?

There would be interviews for medicine or medicine-related subjects of course, and as most universities in England do interviews for most subjects...is Scotland the same?

I read somewhere that there is no interviews for Law (Scotland) ?

Mostly no, it's normally only medicine applicants, mature students and people who haven't really met the grades but seem to have a good potential. But, it's really dependant on the uni.
Glasgow And Strathclyde wanted interviews from me when I applied to do Education.
God, I wish!

Same as with the English lot - some do and some don't. I didn't have to get an interview to study economics, but then again I wasn't interviewed before I got my economics offers at Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff or Bristol either. Some interview for medicine, some don't.

Essentially I don't think there's an institutional difference between English and Scottish unis regarding interviews.

for most courses scottish universities won't bother to interview. the main exceptions seem to medicine, vet med, dentistry etc.

i think they should interview more and not put as much emphasis on the personal statement.
My brother got interviewed when apply for Electronics with Music at Glasgow.
Some courses will have an interview and some won't, depending on the course and the Uni, I guess. If an interview is required it states that you will be invited to interview if you apply for that course. I'm hopefully going to apply for Computer Arts at Abertay (September 2010 entry) and that course requires an interview :s-smilie:
