Ex. 1:

Your Interview.

You contact us to confirm this, but if you can’t attend at this time, please inform us as soon as possible so we could arrange another time.

On the day, we will do all we can to make sure that the interview is on time, but sometimes you have to wait.

If you fail to attend your interview, you must contact us within seven days or you should not be offered another interview.

 

Where to go.

When you arrive at the university you should report to the main reception.

 

What to bring.

You need to bring your exam certificates and your ID card or passport. These must be the original documents and not photocopies.

 

Coming to your university interview.

If you plan to come by car, please allow plenty of time for parking as spaces cannot be difficult to find and you should need to park some distance form the university main entrance. You do not have to park in the university car park as this is for permit-holders only and your vehicle do not need to be clamped.

Alternatively, you can take the number 5 bus form the city centre. This bus stops at the university main entrance.
