Applied Theatre Interview FAQs

No.

Your interview will take place on Microsoft Teams with a panel of academic staff.

At the start of the interview, the panel will introduce themselves and ask you to confirm your identity by showing a form of photographic ID, such as:

• A current valid passport.
• A full or provisional photo driving licence.

The tutor will ask you questions about your experience and your interest in the course. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you have about studying with us.

Before your interview, you should:

• Make sure you can access Microsoft Teams before your scheduled interview time.
• Ensure you’re using a computer or laptop to join and not a mobile app.
• Have your photographic ID ready.
• Think about your experience and why you want to study the course.
• Prepare any questions you'd like to ask about the course or student life.

Please note that there may be a short delay before your interview begins while the tutor admits you into the meeting.

If the interview date and time you have been invited to attend is unsuitable, please email us at acting.admissions@bcu.ac.uk to rearrange for an alternative date and time. Please remember to include your full name and BCU applicant id number when contacting us.
