Interview information

We look forward to meeting you for your interview for MDes/MA Design.

What happens on the day

At your interview, MA staff will ask you questions about your prior experience, your reasons for wanting to study MA Design, your aims for the future. This is to ensure that the programme is a good ‘fit’ for your skills and your aspirations. You will be invited to talk through your portfolio. This will be done by screensharing through Microsoft Teams, so the staff can see your work and have a conversation about it.
