Surrey / Interview
The Surrey interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews for most courses. Some health, teaching, and veterinary courses include an interview or admissions test as part of their UCAS application assessment.
How to prepare for Surrey
- Focus your UCAS personal statement carefully , it is Surrey's primary tool for assessing you beyond grades, so make every character count across the three structured questions.
- Check the specific entry requirements for your chosen course on Surrey's website; healthcare and teacher training courses may require an interview, so confirm early whether yours does.
- Demonstrate subject enthusiasm and any relevant work experience or extracurriculars in your personal statement, as there is no interview to convey these in person for most courses.
- Meet the predicted or achieved grades for your course , Surrey's offer decisions are primarily grade-driven, so academic performance is the clearest lever you control.
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.
