Oxbridge Interviews

Types of interview

We provide two types of interviews. Please click on the links to book an interview.

1. Subject Interviews

For their real interview, Oxbridge candidates will be interviewed by a tutor or don who will ask challenging questions specific to the subject. Our Subject Interviews replicate this, and are the next step up from our Personal Statement Interviews.

Our Subject Interviews:

Are conducted by a specialist in your subject, who has studied the subject to a high degree level at Oxbridge

Focus on the types of subject-specific questions you will be asked at your interview

Are an excellent way of testing and thoroughly preparing yourself for the real interview

2. Personal Statement Interviews

All candidates have to submit a Personal Statement when applying to university. Interviewers at Oxford and Cambridge use the Personal Statement as a basis for interview questions, and thus it is important to practice answering questions based on your Statement.

Our Personal Statement Interviews:

Are conducted by interviewers who are highly trained in providing Personal Statement interviews

Focus on the Personal Statement rather than the subject, with questions analysing and probing the Statement

Are a good introduction to the interview process, testing the interviewee under pressure, and helping to boost confidence

In order to ensure high quality of interviews, we currently specialise in a select number of subjects. If we don't cater for your subject, we recommend taking a Personal Statement interview.

Duration

Our interviews are 30 minutes, which mirrors a typical Oxbridge interview. This is followed by 15 minutes feedback.

Feedback

The feedback session encompasses oral and written assessment of your performance, along with practical recommendations of how to improve.

During the interview, your interviewer will fill in our feedback form (specially designed by an Oxbridge don) which will assess your performance against selected criteria that Oxbridge colleges look for.

At the end of the interview, your interviewer will review this with you in depth, advising on areas of improvement.
