Sorry to hijack the thread but....

A quick question for any grad applying. Do you need to have good A-Levels or science related A-Levels?
Also if any grads have been given an interview/place, could you tell me what your background is? I'm tempted to apply here if I don't succeed this year.

I have read the requirements on the website but I am not sure they applicable to all applicants or just school leavers.

Many thanks.

Hi, everyone. For international applicants, are interviews sent by email, post or through the applicant portal? Thanks in advance.

As far as I'm aware they continue giving out interviews into March. Don't worry if you haven't got an interview yet.

As far as I'm aware everyone is sent interviews by email and post. You don't get anything through the applicant portal except rejection and offer as far as I'm aware.

Edit: Oh and a copy of the acknowledgement letter, how could I forget that :rolleyes:

You get the email first, with a pdf format of the letter :smile: Don't worry, some internationals probably get it earlier since the interview takes place in Singapore in mid Feb, hence we've a one month notice. Yours may be somewhere else. All the best! :smile:

Thanks for the info. Good luck with your application. :smile: As for Singapore, which students get interviewed there?

I think Singaporeans and Malaysians and maybe some of the South East Asian applicants... unless Aberdeen visits Malaysia too then it'll be without the Malaysians? From what I gather they'll be held on 15-16th of Feb for this year.

Ahh cheers, he phoned me super excited but then panicked about preparing LOL

Yeah it is a long wait, but it's worth it if an offer comes in! How are interviews at Aberdeen, how do they differ from what's on the website? When did you have yours?

Tbh as I said somewhere earlier in the thread it depends on the interviewer. Last year had several senarios, this year was almost completely ps orientated. Had mine sometime in november.

Oh cool, i shall take the time to look back and do some research for him. I've not really been watching the thread if im honest. I'm currently in Durham studying medicine. I just thought i'd let people know some interviews are coming out today so check your emails :smile: I wish you and everyone the best of luck :biggrin:
