1. Why did you choose this university and how did you find it?

 

For this answer, you should visit the website of your university and take notes some information of the university, especially its ranking in the world list, researching campuses, lecturing staff, .... and your knowledges about the university (advantages for students, infrastructures, scholaships ...)

 

The recommended answer is that: “This university is highly ranked in the major that I am studying. I found it when surfing the internet. I visited its formal website to find more information and I was impressed by the information about its majors and cirriculum. It is quite similar with what I wish to study.

 

2. Why did you choose to study in UK but not other country?

 

You should focus on the quality of UK education and its world ranking. If your major is not trained in your country (such as cartoon design), you should mention it clearly. But if your majoir is available in your country, you should tell about the difference in education quality and cirriculum between Vietnam and UK. You should convice the interviewer that the course in UK will help to make your CV better. It is better if you could mention some researches of the university in your major.

 

“UK is one of the best education center, especially in ..... (fill in the gap with your major) and it can provide such a high-quality training service, forcing students to acquire knowledge through practice. So, I think I should choose it.”

 

3. Why did you choose this major? Is there any relation to your former major?

 

You should clearly present your future plan after your graduation. You should prepare a suitable answer focusing on some problems such as: why are you interested in this major? (because of your passion, your interest, ...), what will you do with the knowledge absorbed in UK, why did you choose this major when it is not related to your former major?

 

4. Do you intend to find a job after your graduation?

 

The interview need to know whether you want to come back to your country after your graduation or not.You should read the regulation on immigration in UK and tell your plan with the interview carefully and fully. If you want to stay in UK, you should tell the immigration requirements that you can meet. If not, you just present your future plan when you come back to your homeland.

 

 

 

 

5. What do you intend to do after your graduation?

 

The interviewer wants to know your future plan, but in fact, he wants to know whether you are serious with your study or not. Therefore, you shoule show him your intention.

 

“After finishing my study in an economic major, I will come back to my country and apply to a company that has many experience in this field and I think I can learn from my practice. I wish to establish my own company so I must get enough capital and experience. Now I wish to work for “A” company after my graduation.”

 

6. How much do you think you could earn after your graduation?

 

If you have mentioned about your plan to come back to your country, you should tell an amount in Vietnam dong. But it should be a practical number. You should know the approximate average salary in this field in Vietnam, salaries of some former students who have come back to Vietnam after thier graduation, of those who have come back from this university. Based on these figures, you should show the interviewer your number.

 

“The salary for a new employee in Vietnam is usually about 5 to 7 milllion dong per month. I want to establish my onw business so I think I must keep this number up to 15 million dong per month. But I do believe that with my capability and assiduity the salary could be higher.”

 

7. Where do you live when studying in UK?

 

You should find your accomodation before going to UK and remember the address exactly. This shows that you have seriously searched and made careful plan for your study. So you need to make good preparation before the interview.

 

8. Who is the sponsor for study? How much could he/she pay?

 

The interview wants to check and confirm the financial source for your study so you should provide enough information which is the same as it is mentioned in your profile. If you have a declaration for your budget, you should bring it to the interview. If you are supported by a scholaship, a certificate stating the scholaship issued by the sponsor organisation should be presented to the interviewer. But if you pay it by yourself, you should tell him your parents’ companies, positions, monthly incomes and bank accounts....

 

9. Do you have any relative who is living in UK?

 

You should be honest and adroit with this question. If a relative of you is living in UK but it is far from the place that you will live, or he/she is a far relative, you can tell a little about him/her. In case that your relative is living illegally in UK or his/her visa has expired, it is such a disadvantage.

 

10. What is your career potential?

 

Your answer should be clear and focusing on the importance of your major in Vietnam.

 

“I am sure that with the high rate of economic development in Viet Nam (some specific figures may be included), there will be many chances for me to develope my own business. All knowledge acquired in UK will be the key for my success in establishing and developing my company, and maybe it can help me to connect with many companies in UK and other countries as well”.
