If you are invited to an interview day, you will be provided with full details of what to expect nearer the time. For 2022-23 Admissions cycle, all Bioengineering interviews will take place online using Microsoft Teams. The day will include a presentation from the Department’s Admissions Team, a Q&A session with some of our current undergraduate students, a group exercise and an individual interview.

For 2022-23, all Bioengineering interviews will take place online using Microsoft Teams.
