Interview questions

Subject: Geography

Interviewer: Lorraine Wild, St Hilda’s College

Q: If I were to visit the area where you live, what would I be interested in?

Lorraine Wild: ‘The question gives candidates an opportunity to apply concepts

from their A level geography course to their home area. They might discuss

urban planning and regeneration, ethnic segregation and migration, or issues

of environmental management. The question probes whether they are able to

apply ‘geographical thinking’ to the everyday landscapes around them. It

reveals the extent to which they have a curiosity about the world around them.

By asking specifically about their home area the question eliminates any

advantage gained by those who are more widely travelled and have more

experience of a variety of geographical contexts.’

Subject: Modern languages

Interviewer: Helen Swift, St Hilda’s College

Q: What is language?

Helen Swift: ‘Although I would never launch this question at a candidate on its

own, it might grow out of a discussion. Students sometimes say they like

studying Spanish, for example, because they 'love the language'. In order to

get a student thinking critically and analytically, the question would get them to

consider what constitutes the language they enjoy – is it defined by particular

features or by function (what it does)？ How does form relate to meaning?

And so on.’

Subject: English
