What to research

Whether or not you’re familiar with interviews already, it’s always a good idea to be prepared. You can do this by researching your course and our teaching approach.

We’re interested in understanding why ASU London appeals to you, why you want to study with us, and what your career aspirations are.

It’s also a good idea to research the relevant professional bodies that represent the industry to find out more about the key areas you’d study at ASU London. Their websites contain useful information about how they support students through to professional registration.

We have strong links with a range of professional bodies and encourage our students to join and make use of their student memberships.

Interview Format

In your interview, you’ll be joined by a small panel consisting of ASU London Academic and Admissions staff. You’ll be asked a series of questions to help determine whether ASU London is a good fit for you, before having the opportunity to ask any questions of your own.

Throughout your interview, we’ll focus on:

Your demonstration of some essential skills and values, including problem-solving, logic, and teamworking.
How you approach each question and communicate your answers.
Your understanding of the degree programme and commitment to your studies.
