Admission Interview

What They Want to Hear

The interview isn't there to trip you up — it's there to confirm that you're genuine, that you speak the language, and that you know why you want this programme.

Common questions and how to answer them:

• «Why did you choose our programme?» — name a specific subject, project or professor.

• «What are your strengths and weaknesses?» — the weakness should be honest but not fatal («I find public speaking difficult, so I signed up for a public speaking course»).

• «Where do you see yourself in 5 years?» — tie it to your studies: «I want to work for an international company after my Master's in finance».

What kills your chances:

• Memorised, formulaic answers

• Aggression or panic

• «I haven't decided yet, maybe I'll transfer»

A tip from Edunation: we run practice interviews with recordings and a review of your mistakes. You'll be ready for any question.
