This is from the email: "I’m afraid I sent out the initial offers to selected candidates following our shortlisting meeting on Monday. I’m sorry that on this occasion you were not selected for interview because competition was stronger than ever with nearly 400 applicants for our 2 programmes. I will send the official emails to those not selected for interview early next week and you should see your results on the student portal later next week."

No worries- you as well!
Has anyone here received an interview email ? I just received mine. Looking for some tips for the interview if anyone’s talked to former students, would much appreciate your assistance 🙏

Is this for the MSc in Neuroscience or the MSc in Clinical & Therapeutic Neuroscience interview?
The MSc in Clinical & Therapeutic Neuroscience’s
I did my interview this week. For those looking or trying to prepare, the interview yet feels intimidating it will turn out to be very relaxed and quick. You’re told to present a 5 min presentation on a research project you’ve conducted and would then be given some data for interpretation and asked some follow up questions which are straightforward. I learned that the aim of this Interview is to confirm that you’re a teachable candidate and able to think critically.

I hope this helps!
Anyone how did the interview for the MSc in Neuroscience? I have an interview tomorrow 🤞🏻
