We’re thrilled that you’re considering Hull College as the next step in your journey.
This guide will walk you through what happens at your interview and share some handy tips to help you feel fully prepared and confident.
what to expect at interview
We know the word interview can sound daunting, but don’t worry – it’s not a test, and it’s definitely not as scary as it might seem. Our friendly tutors and staff are here to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Your interview is all about making sure you’re on the right course for you. It’s a chance to chat about your interests and future goals, get tailored advice, and ask any questions you may have. You’ll also learn more about your chosen course, student life, and the opportunities waiting for you as a ‘Hullraiser’ here at Hull College.
The most important thing to remember? Just be yourself. There are no trick questions, and we’re not here to catch you out – we’re here to support you!
