UL interviews for undergrads

Michelle_H

Want to do psychology or psychology & sociology & was just wondering what the interviews like for these courses. What kind of questions do you be asked. I brick it for interviews so if anyone knew a few qns so i could practice ans would be great!

Hi Michelle, there are no interviews for places on either of these two progs - so you've nothing to worry about!

Cool thats a relief thanks for letting me know...all i have to worry about now is trying to write an amazing personal statement

Weeshie, I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. Mature student applications usually include an interview and that particular programme is very popular. So perhaps some mature students who have been through the process might be able to help??

Yup. Mature students have an interview process for these courses. Speaking as a mature student who went through the process; the interviews are usually 15 to 20 minutes long, you're interviewed by two or three people from the psychology department and be prepared to be asked very indepth questions about the area of psychology (or sociology if going for psych and soc). This is going to sound daft but may I reccomend Psychology for Dummies? Worked for my interview! Also, it helps if you know where you want to go after you do your psychology degree, it shows your thinking furhter ahead and so unlikely to drop out. But this only applies to mature students. Hope that helps!
