Undergraduate Admissions and Interview FAQs

Our interview days help us assess your commitment and suitability for our courses and also help you decide whether our institution/course is suited to you. We will also use this opportunity to access the soft skills of an applicant. These can include:

• Teamwork
• Interpersonal Skills
• Communication Skills
• Independent Thinking
• Critical Thinking
• Adaptability

All strong applicants are invited to interview: we do not normally make offers to applicants who have not attended one of our interview days or online alternatives. 

If you are invited to an interview day, you will be provided with full details of what to expect nearer the time. For 2025-26 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 2025-26, all Bioengineering interviews will take place online using Microsoft Teams. 

Online interviews should take place in a space where you feel comfortable and able to perform at your best. This should be a quiet space with reliable access to Microsoft Teams.
