The University of Oxford has released a sample of interview questions to assist prospective students who want to secure a place at the prestigious institution. Over the next fortnight, Oxford candidates will have at least two interviews as part of the admissions process and the institution has issued advice in a bid to make the experience less daunting.
For example, a prospective engineer could be asked to sketch the physical forces behind velocity that determine the process of kicking a football into the air.
Dr Samina Khan, director of admissions and outreach, said “We know that there are myths and misconceptions about the Oxford interview, so we put out as much information, and have many student helpers on hand to put the student at ease.”
For all those thinking of entering an Oxbridge university this article is well worth reading.
