Plus your research project, how this was undertaken, outcomes, and what you learnt. You don't need any equipment.
Your interview will be online via Microsoft Teams and there will be two interviewers. The first part of the interview provides information on the course – modules, assessment methods, course tutors and your interests. This stage of the interview will explore your interest in the course and any relevant experience/transferable knowledge or skills. The second part of the interview explores research methods and statistics and indicates what is required at Level 7.
The purpose of the interview is to provide knowledge of the course, discuss course content, confirm suitability for the course, discuss study options (FT/PT), and ensure preparedness for the course. It also ensures that you can ask any questions you have about the course. Previous students have told us they found the interview process useful in understanding the demands of the course. The best prepared candidates are able to discuss their dissertation and the research methods content of their undergraduate degree. This can require some preparation, particularly if you have had a break in your studies.
