Got my offer today - have to say I am very impressed with how quick this process was. I am still waiting on Oxford but I will most likely be accepting this offer. Good luck to everyone else applying and looking forward to studying with you all!

Hello there, I applied for MSc Business Analytics on 03/11 and received my invitation for the Kira interview (15/11). Do you guys know how many % are getting to the interview stage by any chance? And I have searched through last year's post and the interview was quite heavy on quant but I could not find a single sample question. I am a bit afraid to take the interview rn because of this. Can someone maybe share his experience :smile: ?

I’ve heard different numbers for the % of people getting invited to interviews. I guess it depends on the course, but I’ve seen 50% used a lot.

Regarding the interview, I had no quantitative questions. This was for the financial technology program so it will prob vary across programs. However, I think they type of question you get will depend on what the admissions team want to know more about you. I had pretty strong quant evidence in my application and transcript so I assume that’s why they didn’t ask me any.

I don’t think the interview requires any preparation - just know yourself and speak clearly.
Hi everyone, has anyone heard back from the college regarding offers for the MSc Climate Change course?

I took it almost 2 weeks ago but it's not quantitative at all. They've converted the interview to be more like the MSc Management one. They also used to make you take a written math test, but they've also completely gotten rid of that. I think they decided not to test on quantitative knowledge because they advertise the program as being open to everyone, meaning you don't have to have a quantitative background. You'll be fine if you have a broad idea of how analytics work in the real world. I wouldn't stress it too much.

Received an interview invite on Monday, all my references have been sent off now too. Hopefully should have an offer by the end of November if everything goes well.
Has anyone else gotten an offer for MSc. Economics and Strategy for Business yet?
