MSc. Interview Advice

    Hi all,

    I'm attending an interview for an MSc. course in the coming days and was wondering what to expect from it?

    What exactly will I be asked/what are they looking for?

    Is it really just a personality evaluation to see if your application matches up with who you actually are, or is there far more?

    Will it be a panel that's interviewing me, with the head of the department as well as somebody from a similar area as myself so that they can grill me?

    Also, any advice as to what to wear would be appreciated.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm very apprehensive and could do with some advice. If you've done any interview for any MSc., I'd love to hear your opinion.


    Thanks!

    It'll depend on the course and the college. My MSc. (taught masters) interview was over the phone with two people who manage teh course. Mostly questions about why I want to do it and what I was expecting from the course and a bit about my background to date.

    as tree said, depends on what your msc is in. i went for one in physio so that would be different than say a non-health background msc

    Biomed diagnostics in DCU, this was a couple of year ago. I'd imagine you'll get similar sorts of questions for QA.
