marketing admin apprentice interview

i've been offered an interview for a marketing administrative assistant at the university of exeter. the interview is in just over a weeks time, and will involve a 30 min pc test (which they say you don't need to prepare for) and a 30min interview in front of a panel of about 4 people.

I'm rather scared about the panel interview part, cause the only interviews i've had before were group interviews which are a lot more relaxed and friendly. I also have no idea of what sort of questions they might ask apart from the general questions everyone gets asked at interviews, but i would like to have some idea so that i can feel more prepared.

so, i was wondering if anyone can give me some advice/ share their experiences of apprentice type interviews and if anyone has had an interview for a similar job? (such as something to do with business/administration as thats what the qualification will be in). also, i would like to know if apprenticeship interviews are a lot different from a regular job interview?

Your standard interview questions will suffice, make sure you know the organisation as well as the role that you've applied for letter by letter.
