University interviews etc
19 Answers
Do you have an interview or have to enroll etc at a uni during the summer holiday before you start, and if so, how much notice do they normally give you?
I'm planning on going on a mini-gap-year that'll give me a bit of experience in marine biology and I don't want to book it then find out I have an interview or something I have to attend during that time.
I'm planning on going for a few weeks in the summer of 2012, after my exams and before uni starts (when/if I get a place).

Your chosen university will publish its likely intake and interview dates in their prospectus. As a clue, we are interviewing at the moment for university nursing courses starting in Sept 2011, we have to interview and put forward selected names no later than the end of May.

After you've been accepted extra experience won't be as relevant until you start applying for jobs; also you may find that the knowledge you gain in the first year of uni (assuming you will be studying marine biology) will help you to put your mini-gap-year into a better context than you would be able to before beginning uni; just a thought!
If you are not doing Medicine or Vet Med, then you don't normally have interviews. You are simply offered a place on your predicted results. All Uni's hold open days so that you can go and have a look round, you then apply to (usually to 3 or 4 Uni's), Your school carears officer should be advising you on all of this!
