Hey guys

I have an interview for manchester coming up soon, and its my first one.
I've applied for Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year so when I pass that year I can move onto a chemical engineering course, with my PS being based around chem eng

Just wondering what questions can I be expected to answer?
Will there be any theoretical questions or will it all be reference/PS related ?

I was also told I would have to sit a small maths test, any ideas into what this might include ?


Thanks


Hi there,

I know this was a year ago, but I have just applied for the integrated foundation year and got my letter though the post today saying about an interview and small maths test. I am hoping to go on to do ChemEng too, so I was wondering if you would be able to help me. Just a few questions: What kind of questions did they ask you in the interview, what was the maths test like, also did you enjoy the course?

Sorry to bombard you with this but i'm a little nervous haha

Thank you

Hey! Not that I am aware of, I'm sure it is just the normal UCAS deadline. My predicted Grades is ACC, A in politics and Cs in both Maths and Chemistry. I'm Hoping to do better than that though, what about you? What course would you want to go on after the foundation year? :smile:

I am predicted A B C, B in Maths and Physics, also hoping to do better. I want to go onto Civil Engineering after, let's talk in PM, if that's ok?

Hi guys, I just wanted to know whether they call every applicant for an interview? I've applied for this course too, (want to go on to chem eng) but I received an offer on UCAS of BBC. So am I not expected to attend an interview as they've already given me a conditional offer? :/
