What sort of things may my interviewer ask me?

For Humanities subjects, there are usually two interviews. The first, will be broadly based on your Personal Statement, and the work you submit. (I would have to read this). The interviewer will be very keen to know why you are passionate about your subject OUTSIDE of your studies at College. This is also a tip for Personal Statements, interviewers don’t really want to read about your course content, they expect you to have an interest much wider than this. They will pull out broad themes from your personal statement, and challenge you on them. In addition to this, they may pick up on controversial statements, or small details that you may easily brush past. I will give an example from a statement I once helped with: they had submitted an essay asking whether economic hardship faced in the UK contributed largely to the American War of Independence (A level history). A theme that could be pulled from this is: where else has economic hardship led to political extremism- Thatcher? Reagan? Brexit? (UK) The Third Reich (Germany)... etc. I would be very happy to give similar examples in a mock interview style way, or suggest themes. For humanities subjects, they will often ask you about what you read. Especially, they like putting you on the spot- ask you what else you have read that you haven’t mentioned. It is important to have some examples handy, I can help with this. The second interview is based on an article, this will usually link to future course content (but not always). Mine was on the whether a world government/set of universal human rights is possible. With hindsight, this linked into many themes from my first and second years at University. I could give some examples of materials and discuss them.My main, and most important tip is that Oxbridge aren't looking for the perfect, polished product. They are looking for someone who is teachable, who is receptive to new ideas, and is inquisitive. They mimic the 'supervision' you will encounter at the University, they are testing to see how teachable you are, therefore it is important to ask questions and think carefully before you answer questions.
