General questions

Tell me about yourself? How would you describe yourself? Tell us about your current course? What are you best at? What are your main interests?

These are self awareness questions, so think now about your key personality characteristics, your general and study interests. Try and be relevant - that is, mention those personality qualities and interests that match the course.

Example answer - I am a motivated, quietly confident person. I like Chemistry and Biology best, particularly those science areas that are health related. I am fascinated by genetics and the impact it can have on future life health. In my spare time I enjoy being with friends and occasionally help out at a local playscheme.

NOTE - interviewers react well to enthusiasm so using words like 'fascinated' helps to give an enthusiastic impression.
