group interviews..

i've been invited to attend group interviews at 2 different unis, both with a 10 minute individual interview at the end.
anybody know what sort of thing to expect??
they say the group sessions should last about 2 hours, so i was thinking maybe they give you group work to do or something?
can anybody enlighten me please?!?

Sometimes in group interviews they give you a task to do, just for an example say design a poster or something. They'll use it to determine peoples personalities and stuff. See who the person who naturally takes charge is for example and who's sitting nervously in the corner doing what everyone tells them to do. It's basically a way for them to get to know you. I had to do one where we went into a field and had to get from one marker on the field to the other without touching the floor, using planks of wood and bricks. Stupid idea really!

Sounds good fun to me.

It was ok. The guy interviewing us was shouting as us though cause we were crap. He kept calling us gormless f**kwits

a friend of mine who had a group interview for nursing had to be involved in a discussion/debae about things surrounding the job in the media.
