About the programme
A sixth form college admission interview explores whether your subject choices suit your interests, current attainment and next steps. The interviewer also wants to understand how you will manage greater independence and contribute to college life.
How to prepare
- Review the content of each subject you hope to study and note what interests you about it.
- Connect your subject combination to courses, training or careers you may consider later.
- Choose examples that show how you plan revision, meet deadlines and recover from weaker results.
- Think about clubs, service or enrichment activities you could join without neglecting your studies.
- Check the college's official information for its current entry criteria and subject combinations.
Common mistakes
- Choosing subjects only because friends are taking them.
- Claiming to be organised without giving a clear example of your routine.
- Treating sixth form as simply more of the same rather than a step towards independent study.
