Prestigious colleges and best Universities will often invite applicants for a face to face interview. The interview at school differs a lot to a typical job interview. It typically takes less than twenty minutes (sometimes as little as five minutes), each applicant answers the very same questions. You will have only a few minutes to demonstrate that you deserve the place in the study program, or the scholarship.
Considering the conditions and the format of the interview, first impression, enthusiasm in your voice, and charisma are absolutely crucial for succeeding. Their questions will relate to the following areas:
- The study program you apply for
- Your motivation, and personality
- What it means for you to study, and how will the school benefit from having you on board
- Soft skills and attitudes that matter for the particular field of study
- How do you plan to handle the difficulties of the study program
