Ucl msc developmental psychology and clinical practice interview.

Hi, I’ve recently been told I’m having an interview for this course in developmental psychology and clinical practice at UCL I’m really nervous cause I feel like I’m out of practice and I have no idea what kind of questions I’ll be getting. I’ve never done an interview for a uni before. Has anyone done it last year? What kind of questions did they ask? What things should I be brushing up on knowledge wise?

It was 4 questions and they didn’t ask me about anything to do with my experiences with children 💀 I was so unprepared . They asked me to design a study and I just didn’t get how they phrased the question, they had to ask me like 3 times 😭😭😭
