I’m not sure if it’s the same for all, but for mine it was a couple minutes to prepare maybe up to 3? Then the video itself was 1 minute, and you could only retake it once after.

Once your 3 minutes is up you go straight into the video interview, with a couple seconds countdown of course!😉

I enjoyed answering the questions, though it was definitely stressful. But in some ways, it being over and done with so quickly is good - less time to prepare etc stops me going into overdrive and thinking too much into it! I think it’s so they can see the real you.

Had two written questions after the videos, and these written questions were not timed.

Good luck ☺️

Thank you so much!

Is there a word limit for the written questions?

Yes there is. 350 words I believe, off the top of my head, so don’t take my word for it!

Is it the Journalism advanced you’ve applied for?

Thank you for your help :smile:
