Demonstration interview videos

Recorded with our tutors and current students, these subject-specific demonstration interviews will give you a good idea of what to expect from your own interview.

Each video begins with an introduction from the tutors explaining why they interview and the format or structure of the conversation. This is followed by the sample interview itself and then a tutors' commentary during which they discuss how they feel the interview went.

You might like to stop and start the videos as you watch, so you have time to think how you might have tackled the questions and of course you can rewind and watch as many times as you like. Don't worry if the students seem confident and articulate, remember they are used to tutorial teaching now and tutors will not expect you to be as familiar with this sort of academic discussion.

If you can't find a video for your subject below, then we recommend that if possible, you watch one in the same tier (visit the Technology required tab) as your own and for a similar subject. You can also explore the Additional video resources where you will find interview information for other subjects.

Additional video resources

Below are additional subject-specific interview resources, some of which were filmed before the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that these are likely to assume that interviews are in-person, rather than online which is no longer the case.
