    Photography at Wolverhampton 2012, anyone else?
    Hi,
    I'm going to Wolverhampton in September and I'm wondering whether anyone else on here is going there too? I'll be studying photography, so it'll be nice to talk to people who will be doing similar courses.

    Best wishes,
    Tish

    Hi Tish

    I am looking to apply to Photography and may have an interview during the coming weeks. I wanted to ask did you have an interview and if so, how did it go? and what do they ask you?

    thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    I recently applied to Photography at Wolverhampton and had my interview just under a week ago. I've been offered a conditional place, so hopefully it went pretty well. Basically they just asked me why I wanted to study photography, what knowledge I had of the subject and asked a few specific questions about the photos in my portfolio. We also talked briefly about what I was looking to achieve with the course and whether I had a favourite photographer.

    Hope this helps!

    Hey

    I had 20 in mine, and I got them printed A4 size (in case you wanted to know). Just be warned though, printing them can be pretty expensive - £100 for mine. They guy who interviewed me was fine - seemed pretty friendly and we had a bit of banter. They'll ask if you have questions about the course so might be good to have one or two in mind to show you've thought about it. I was bricking it when I had my interview but if you just be yourself and show you're enthusiastic about the course then you should be fine.

    Lol sorry, this was a pretty long post hope it helped a bit. If there's anything else you want to know just say.
