My taster day interview for Magazine Journalism and Feature Writing was quite easygoing. They'd set up a front page of their student newspaper and in the text box we had to write about 270 words 'selling' ourselves to the course leader who is really nice! And the interview part consisted of either the course leader or in our session the head of all the journalism courses coming round one by one and just chatting to you about your ambitions, why you've applied etc.
Don't know if it will be exactly the same for your course but hope that helps!

For mine it was supposed to be at 3pm, but everyone (12 of us) had the same time so they interviewed alphabetically, and I'm a W so I wasn't impressed by that :') The last 6 on the list had a campus tour, and then came back later to be interviewed. The interview was ****ty, pretty much got interrogated, and the guy seemed very disinterested and didn't ask much about my portfolio. They seemed more interested in what you knew about the industry/who inspires you etc. I got out at 5.30. It took me 3 hours to get home and I was feeling pretty negative about it, but I woke up to a really low conditional offer :biggrin:

They didn't seem that organised, and I don't know if you'll have the same guy (he was the fashion leader or something) but if they act like they don't care, don't let it put you down! Also at your interview you should definitely speak to other applicants, it really helped calm us all down :smile:

Good luck, you'll be fine!

Congrats on the offer! Found someone on Twitter today who had an offer for Multimedia journalism. Hoping that this means they'll get on to doing the Magazine Journalism ones...

He told me in the interview he'd let me know as soon as possible, within 2-3days, but it only took 1. But I think it depends on how many people have applied/how many interviews they have left for that particular course so don't worry :smile:
