Guys this may seem like a silly question, but what would you wear to a uni interview? Like is a suit too formal, or is a blazer too casual? 😂 Just wanted a little insight as in Ireland we dont have interviews for university

I would go smart casual, not a suit but just smart attire that doesn't look majorly formal

A suit is ok but, say, without a tie, and maybe a jacket that's a different colour to the trousers, if you know what I mean? Formal but comfortable is really the way to go, and try to represent and express yourself through your appearance (at least to a certain degree), it will help you perform better in your interview :smile:

Hey! Sorry for the late reply been so busy with various applications and exams. :smile:

I've applied to Leeds Met, Herts, Nottingham, Surrey and Glasgow. I got rejected from Leeds within a week although my predictions were higher than minimum requirements and I applied in early october? Maybe they really hated me? :frown:

But I just got called to an interview on the 12th in Herts! Anyone else?!

OMG!! Me too and got one last night for Surrey 25th Nov?

Crazy, I guess I will see you at both, I have heard there are lot of mature students who apply for this course, at a taster day I went to there was thirty people, three of us were under 30. Do you think this will make it harder for sixth form aged students to apply?

I don't know if I'm honest- I guess it would as there will be less avalible places for sixth formers

When I went to the Surrey taster day back in September, they said about 25% of students on the course are mature students. That means around 75% are less than 21 so I don't think there should be a problem for sixth formers idk

Those of you that have a Surrey interview; the PDF file attached to the event invitation on the Surrey applicant portal states that they are using MMI, multiple mini interviews... do any of you know more about this? I thought it will be a one-to-one interview... Also, that PDF file seems to focus on midwifery/nursing/paramedic science, so I'm a bit confused :s-smilie:

Hi guys just thought I'd put a message out there to see if I can be of any help. I'm in first year at Surrey, 7 weeks in now. I applied last year so I know the process so if theres any questions you have about the course, surrey or the application process let me know if I can help. I interviewed at surrey, kings, chester and Coventry and got offers from all, I also applied for leeds becket but didn't attend my interview as I already had other offers :smile:

Hi! Thanks so much for offering to help us! I have two questions that I want to ask:
What were the interviews like?
What made you choose Surrey?

Thanks x

Do we have to know about their job roles? I just assumed the interview day was for all NHS courses at Surrey and that they were saying we were expected to know the role we were applying for? Also, there are individual interviews as well as MMIs as far as I am aware...

Thank you, are you finding you have to budget more than others because of the reduced living loans due to the NHS funding? or not?
Also, what grades did you get? If you don't mind me asking :smile:

Annnd what's the nightlife like at Surrey :wink:

What made you choose Surrey and not the others? What is the accommodation like? How did you find the interviews?
