Hello there, me too. I just got the email about 50 minutes ago. It says the interview shall be on 9th March, which is quite soon. Wow, better start preparing soon :K:. Does anyone have any interview tips? I dm-ed a couple of guys that I found on this forum who got interviewed last year, but they didn’t reply.

Have they given details on the interview topics / presentation topic?

7 days. I hope you receive news from them this week. I believe they are sending emails by groups so we all have the same time to prepare.

I haven't received any interview invitation from them yet so I don't know if I'm qualified to give tips :biggrin: but from what I know, they are not looking for a right/wrong answer, they just want to see how you approach a topic and how your thinking process goes. If you feel like you've made a mistake in your stance, feel free to backtrack and correct yourself by saying that "you take that back and you would much rather prefer so and so"...something along those lines. You probably must have heard this a billion times but don't stress about trying to impress them, just be yourself! :smile:

I see. So there's still hope to receive an interview invite from them?

Unfortunately, not everyone gets an invite as far as I know but I hope we all do.

Congrats and good luck, for me I heard nothing
Just did my interview yesterday, had to present for 8 minutes and then the interviewers asked questions on it followed by motivation to apply for this course. They were really nice and friendly, the whole thing lasted about 20 minutes.

That's great to know! Hope you get an offer letter from them too :biggrin:
Do you by any chance know if they're still sending out interview invites? or are they done for the January intakes?

I hope so. I've not heard anything about an interview yet.
