Engineering interview days
Interview advice
We'll ask you some general questions about your application, some technical questions, and, for first year entrants, an engineering challenge which you'll prepare in advance of the interview.
For example, we'll want to hear about why you have applied for York, and for the particular course that you've chosen.
Example questions may include:
- Can you tell us about some recent topics in any maths or science subjects you're taking?
- What attracts you to York?
- What are your plans for your future career?
We'll ask how things have been going at school or college and, if applicable, whether there have been any disruptions to your studies. We want to make sure we have that information if your exams don't turn out the way they should.
If you are applying for our Music Technology Systems courses, we'll also want to talk about your musical background, but you don't need to have a portfolio.
At the end, you'll have the chance to ask any questions you may have about the course, the University, or the city of York itself.
Remember: be honest, be yourself and relax.

Foundation Year entry
For Foundation Year applicants, our questions will very much depend on your background. In most cases, we will assume that you have little or no background in mathematics and science. We'll want to establish your basic numeracy skills and whether you have the right kind of mindset to complete a science-based course.
