My Interview at Mountview

Mountview were they first institution to have invited me in for an interview. On the day of the interview, they talked us through what the course consisted of, they then gave us a tour of the building to show us the facilities and because they have recently moved from Wood Green to Peckham some parts of the building were still being built. They gave us the opportunity to ask them questions throughout the day.

Lastly they interviewed everyone individually. At the end of the interview they informed me that they would let me know as to whether or not they would offer me a place the next day. The following day, they emailed me to offer me a place. They also said that they would send me the necessary paperwork at some point in January so that I would be able to accept the offer. The paperwork would also include the method that I shall use to fund the course (tuition fees and maintenance costs).

The interview lasted around 20 minutes. During the interview, they asked me about my previous experience, where I see myself in few years after graduating and my biggest achievement in terms of lighting. They also looked at and discussed my portfolio.

In order to be better prepared for the next interview, I feel like I need to be clearer with my answers by speaking more clearly and provide clear-cut explanations. I also need be a little more relaxed as I was very tense and nervous.

Should I decide not to go university for any reason at all, I would go into the world of work to get experience and build up my CV and portfolio.
