"Informal" Interview...?!?

May depend on your course but I think some courses will have a one to one interview but if anything it's more to gauge how interested you are in case you don't meet the offer grades.

There's a fair chance that by being invited to a visit day and informal interview the uni is going to give you an offer.

In terms of what to wear it's unlikely to matter that much. I'd probably suggest something along the lines of smart casual.

I had one at Lancaster. It was just a very casual chat with a member of staff. Pretty much exactly what I did at the open day anyway...

what did you wear??

I got a letter from Southampton uni today saying about a visit day, which includes an "informal interview"
I have no idea what this is going to involve! what do I wear? will it be a group interview? how do they work?

I would reallyy appreciate any advice about this! I feel totally out of my depth and have no idea what to expect from the day

I had an informal interview at bristol for chemistry, don't know what yours is for but i guess they follow the same principle. Most people just wore smart clothes. Not really smart but smart enough. I.e polo shirt/shirt, smart jumper/sweater, smart trousers/smart jeans. Girls just whatever the girls equivalent is to those? Lol.

The guy who spoke to me was a legend, he just went through my personal statement and asked about the stuff I'd put down, about chemistry and also other stuff which I never thought they would be interested in! Was really relaxed and friendly, and we all had a little tour around afterwards. Also, one of the undergraduates around to answer questions said pretty much all of us that get invited for the informal interview were going to get offers which was reassuring.
