These pages are intended to offer advice to candidates who have been invited to an interview with MIBTP.

First of all, well done for receiving an interview offer from MIBTP. Our admissions process is highly competitive. Every year the shortlisting process is challenging, and we wish we had the funding available to offer more places. Just being invited for an interview shows how outstanding your achievements are so far! Whatever the outcome of your interview, please feel proud of yourself.

We asked our current students what they would have found useful to know before their interviews, and what advice they have for you. We also asked our Directors for their advice in answering common questions. You will find answers to questions and advice from our students via the links below.

Please note: MIBTP is made up of five different institutions (Warwick, Birmingham, Leicester, Harper Adams and Aston), but interviews at all institutions follow the same format. Your interview might be online or it might be in person, but the same advice applies to both forms of interview.
