Biology interviews
Thank you for applying to Oxford to study Biology.
At Hertford, candidates will receive an article to read before the interview begins – we’ll email it to you at the correct time. The interview itself will last around 25 minutes and we’ll start with questions about your academic background, accomplishments and your motivation for studying the Biology course at Oxford. Then we’ll discuss the article you’ve read beforehand. Take your time, think through your responses, and try to enjoy the opportunity to talk about a subject which fascinates you. Don’t worry about getting everything right: we are looking for potential, not a perfectly polished performance.
You will need a device with access to Microsoft Teams, a microphone and webcam to take part in the interviews. Take a look at our Online Interviews Technology page to find out more and watch an introductory video. If you have any questions or concerns about the technology set-up, you should email undergraduate.admissions@hertford.ox.ac.uk and we’ll do our best to help.
