This unique university application resource has
proved immensely popular since its first publication in
2004. This new, improved edition contains invaluable
information for Sixth Form students, parents, teachers
and higher education advisors. Our own recent research
shows that, while many students progress to university
solely on the basis of the information contained in the
UCAS application, there is a wide range of courses, and
institutions, where interviews are used beyond the
obvious ones of Oxbridge and Medical Schools. The
questions in this book are a resource built up over many
years and derive from real university interview
questions asked of students at two London Sixth Forms.
The book is arranged into an A-Z of more than 80 degree
courses, each with subject specific advice and sample
questions. In addition, there are some excellent new
features: An expanded and improved section on
applications to all undergraduate UK Medical Schools,
featuring detailed selection criteria and a rich and
diverse range of questions and the new GWIST framework.
