If you search through the forum, you should find a thread about the same topic, asking about questions.

Thanks for the quick reply, yeah I looked through the old threads but there was nothing specific in them, just basically the same as what it says in the letter I recieved from them

thing is, there isnt specific questions they ask. They tailor the interview to whatever it is that you speak about.

Remember to relate theory to practice and you're golden.

yep, back in 2009.

Its more nerve-wrecking waiting for the interview, as there are usually about 3 interviews happening at the same time, and everyone is talking about what they will ask and what they want to come up.

Relax, relate your theory to practice and be yourself. The interviewers arent out to trip you up. I was brutally honest in my interview, and afterwards I was kicking myself for it, but turned out I got my place anyway. It's grand

Think of what experience you have and then try to relate some theory to whatever experience and examples you have. triseke is right its a very nervous experience as there is huge competition for the course but know your cv inside out and be confident and prepared to talk about your examples. best of luck
