About the programme

This interview assesses whether you can use a pre-degree year to strengthen your science knowledge before undergraduate study. The panel looks for sound foundations, a clear course goal, disciplined study habits and a sensible response to difficult work.

How to prepare

  1. Review core concepts and simple calculations from your secondary school biology, chemistry and physics courses.
  2. Prepare a clear reason for choosing a science pathway and the degree you hope to pursue.
  3. Plan a weekly routine that includes reading, problem practice, laboratory preparation and rest.
  4. Check the institution's official information for current entry and progression rules.
  5. Think of a time you improved after struggling with an academic topic.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the programme as an easy route that will not require steady work.
  • Memorising definitions without being able to explain or apply them.
  • Naming a degree choice without showing what interests you about the subject.
