Imperial College London Medicine | 面接(Interview)とは

Oxbridge面接とは何ですか?

Oxford・Cambridgeの面接は、暗記した知識を確認するためではなく、「どのように考えるか」を評価するためのものです。 学科の専門教員が1対1(または少人数)で、見慣れない問題を出したり、議論を深めたりします。 合否において非常に重要な位置を占めています。

面接の一般的な流れ

  • 通常2〜3回の面接(各20〜30分)が行われます
  • 学科の教授または講師が面接官を務めます
  • Personal Statementの内容について質問されることが多いです
  • 見慣れない問題を渡されて、声に出しながら考えることが求められます
  • 近年はオンライン(Zoom等)面接も増えており、日本から参加できる場合があります
