Leicester / Interview
The Leicester interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews for most courses; some health sciences and education programmes may invite applicants for interviews as part of the selection process.
How to prepare for Leicester
- Your UCAS personal statement is the primary place to demonstrate motivation and suitability , use all 4,000 characters strategically across the three structured questions.
- If applying to medicine, dentistry, or teacher training at Leicester, check the specific course page for interview requirements, as these programmes do conduct interviews and they carry significant weight.
- Visit days and open days are not evaluated but are a good way to confirm your interest and gather course-specific information before writing your statement.
- Contact the admissions team directly if your course has any non-standard entry requirements , Leicester's admissions staff are responsive and this shows genuine engagement.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
