Synopsis

This unique new book offers invaluable information to sixth-formers, their teachers and higher-education advisers as students prepare for university interviews. It is an important resource, built up over many years, based on the real-life interview experiences of sixth-formers at JFS School in London. The information they provided has been assembled into an A-Z of more than eighty university degree courses, each with subject-specific advice and sample interview questions. The book also provides detailed advice on preparing for interviews generally.

Easy to use and available for photocopying by schools, this book will serve as an excellent aid to sixth-form staff and higher-education advisers conducting mock interviews with students. It will also be helpful to students as they compose their UCAS personal statements.

About this title

From the Author

Co-author Barbara Hamnett, who is principal deputy headteacher at the school, said: ‘At JFS we have always been committed to helping our students move on to higher education, providing individual support for all sixth-formers making their UCAS applications.

‘Over the years, we have found that the feedback forms filled in by our sixth-formers have provided a rich resource – an essential companion – for subsequent students to tap into for help with both UCAS personal statements and interviews.

‘The examples of real-life interview questions and the students’ comments about their experiences are truly enlightening.’
