About the programme
An Irish undergraduate course admission interview checks whether your interests and academic preparation match the programme. Interviewers may also explore how you learn independently and whether you have thought realistically about joining a new academic and social environment in Ireland.
How to prepare
- Review the course structure and identify topics that connect directly with your previous studies.
- Re-read your personal statement and prepare useful detail behind each important claim.
- Choose an example of independent research, including how you found and assessed sources.
- Plan how you would organise a week of lectures, study, rest and student activities.
- Consider how you would seek academic support and form connections after arriving in Ireland.
Common mistakes
- Giving Ireland itself as the main reason for applying while saying little about the course.
- Listing school subjects without connecting them to future study.
- Suggesting you will handle difficulty alone instead of using available academic support.
- Describing cultural adaptation only as making friends, without considering study routines and daily life.
