Strathclyde / Interview
The Strathclyde interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered; admissions based on UCAS application, personal statement (three-question format, 4,000 characters total), and predicted/achieved grades.
How to prepare for Strathclyde
- Use all 4,000 characters of the three-question personal statement purposefully , Strathclyde reads this carefully in lieu of an interview, so make every answer specific and evidence-based.
- Research Strathclyde's distinctive course structure (many courses offer a broad first year before specialisation) and reference it in your statement to show genuine interest.
- If your grades are borderline, contact the admissions team directly , Strathclyde's admissions staff are known for being approachable and can clarify whether a contextual offer is possible.
- Apply before the 14 January equal-consideration deadline; late applications are considered only where course capacity allows, so timing matters.
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.
