Essex University Interview

Hi guys, I just want to ask has anyone had or is going to have an interview at Essex University (in fact any university)? I applied through UCAS and they emailed me saying I have got an interview on the 13th Of December, I applied for Bsc Marketing with Placement. I have never been to a university interview before so I don't really know what to expect, any help with possible questions or topics would be appreciated :smile:

Thanks

Hey, good luck with it!! After the interview would you mind telling me how it went? I know we are studying different subjects but the types of questions would be asked

They asked me for an interview too, for Law in January. I'm a bit worried as I'm not sure what kind of questions they're going to ask me.

I'm honestly beginning to think they're giving an interview to all applicants, I actually don't know anyone who has been rejected

Computer Science department didn't ask any questions. They just told me about the course and gave us a tour

The interview for Liberal Arts was pretty laid back. They just asked me:
1) Why I want to do the course
2) About a book I put in my personal statement
3) About my EPQ
4) If I had any questions

My interview is on the 31st January!
But I am not sure if I want to go to the university as it is very far away from home.
It did say on the email that If you do not attend to the interview, they will decide by your application.
I have also applied for Computer Science BSc
