I'm planning on applying to universities in the UK and need to organize travel and accommodation. Can anyone give me an idea of when interviews usually occur there?
Certainly, the timeline for university interviews in the UK can vary depending on the university and the course you're applying for. Here are some general timelines:
1. Oxford and Cambridge: If you're applying to Oxford or Cambridge, the interviews generally take place in early December. You'll be invited for an interview after submitting your UCAS application by the October 15 deadline.
2. Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Schools: For these schools, interviews often occur between December and March.
3. Other Universities and Courses: Most other UK universities arrange interviews between January and April, though there can be some variation.
Remember, these are just general timeframes. Typically, universities will inform you in advance, often by email, if you have been selected for an interview. They will give you a specific date and time.
It's also important to note that many UK universities have been moving towards online interviews due to recent global circumstances. This could save you the travel and accommodation costs, but you may want to verify their plans with them directly.
Good luck with your applications and potential interviews!
