University interview - what to wear?

I have an interview for Aberdeen University coming up soon for Primary Education. I'm wondering what would be classed as too formal and also what's underdressed?

The interview is really important so I want to make a good impression but not seem dressed far too smart!

Any advice on what to wear for it?

Never wear jeans and a t-shirt for an interview! That's fine if it's just an open day, but if there's an offer riding on an interview you need to look keen; smart trousers and shirt at the least.

I was thinking smart, dark coloured jeans and a shirt with my blazer. A suit would just feel really uncomfortable for the interview? :-(

Don't wear a suit if it will make you uncomfortable. Shirt and blazer would be fine. I would wear trousers in preference to jeans, but if they are smart it should be ok. Don't wear them with trainers though. Admissions tutors know that not everyone they interview is going to put their university as their top choice, and they don't want to waste offers on people who are likely to turn them down. You need to look as if you care.

Thank you. Really hoping that I'll get offered an unconditional for Aberdeen, seems like an amazing course and place to study! Wish I knew more about the primary education interview though!
