What are some of the most frequently asked questions in university interviews?

Interviews and auditions are sometimes used by admissions staff towards the end of the university application process as a means of comparing applicants with a good chance of being offered places on their courses. While the form and length of the interview will vary between universities and departments, most are based on a discussion with the course tutor. For some courses, you may need to bring along a portfolio showing examples of your best work. This usually only applies to courses in the arts, but those wishing to study English are often asked to discuss a poem or essay they’ve written, while maths applicants may have to solve an equation.
