Question What does the interview involve?

Answer Early Entry interviews are a great opportunity to speak directly with faculty staff about your options and to find out more about UOW. It’s also a chance to demonstrate that you are interested and committed to studying in the particular faculty. Questions will be based on your interest in the course and the relevant subjects you have undertaken at school. Also be prepared to discuss your extra-curricular activities.

 

Question What if I live too far away to attend an interview?

Answer You may be offered a phone interview—please contact the relevant faculty to discuss your situation.

Answer You are at no disadvantage if you don’t receive an Early Entry offer. We encourage you to use the Early Entry process to ask us any questions you may have about university study or the University of Wollongong.
