Kingston interviews (art &design based courses) 2017

Still haven't heard back guys. I gave them a call a few weeks back and they said they got a larger amount than usual of applicants this year, so it's taking a little bit longer to sort through things. Kinda giving up hope now but we'll see what happens haha.

Hi all! I'm not doing art, but I have confirmed my place at Kingston University to study Journalism. So if anyone is going there/considering there, feel free to message me! Would be nice to know some people before freshers week! Good luck to anyone still waiting to hear back, or do interviews! Also if anyone is curious - Kingston do have some art videos up on their Youtube channel. Be sure to check them out, I was bored and was just watching their other videos and it seems some of their art ones do talk about how to prepare for your interview, what they'll ask etc; This is a really good one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJm8FDqFhO0

((Posted this on the Foundation forum, but thought I might as well post it here as well, cause there's not many active Kingston threads!))

Awww nice! Are you local or are you going to stay in halls/accomidation?

That's bad
Me too... maybe they have many applicants this year, but still it's almost a month

Is it weird that i didnt send an online portfolio and they still ended up giving me an interview

At my interview they said they had over 1300 applicants... so im sure its taking a long time to get through them all

Is this for Illustration & Animation? That's huge...

still waiting to hear for illustration&animation! little bit frustrating now, feel like i'm going to miss out on accomodation at this rate

I've got an interview for Kingston's Fine Art course this Wednesday, i got the offer for the interview without having to submit an online portfolio. Im so scared about it being a group interview because im generally a quiet person and but i can go on a ramble if im nervous! Hopefully it is one on one like suggested above but i guess i'll have to wait and see. Would like to know how all of your interviews went!

Just had my interview today for FA Ba, there were 4-5 fa interviews going on at once in the room & they were one on one with either a tutor or a tutor and a current student. They started by asking why I had picked the uni & the course & then I had about 15 minutes to talk through my portfolio. I actually really enjoyed the day overall & guess I just have to wait & see now haha. Good luck for your interview!

I got an unconditional offer from Kingston for art direction without sending my portfolio or having an interview!?! The course tutor emailed me saying it was a pleasure reading my personal statement and he couldn’t wait to speak to me. I couldn’t attend the interview on the 1st as I was in Suffolk being interviewed but I got an email the next day saying I have an unconditional offer.

Were you there on the 7th at 2pm? The interview was really good but the woman who interviewed me basically answered all the questions herself, she kept interrupting my answers and not letting me finish so i'm not sure whether i sold myself enough to get a place?
