Useful information

Here is our useful checklist to make sure you have got everything covered:

1. Check the available dates for your Interview/Visit Day.
   
   
2. Speak with your parent/guardian to see if they are available (if they are attending too).
   
   
3. Book your place on the Interview/Visit Day through our Booking Portal.
   Helpful tip: places fill up quickly, so try not to leave it too late to complete steps 1-3.
   
   
4. Notify your School/College that you are attending an Interview/Visit Day (if required).
   
   
5. Arrange transport and accommodation, if applicable. 
   Helpful tip: train fares increase closer to the time, so booking in advance is advisable. 
   
   
6. Remember to check your Inbox and Junk folder for emails from 'wsadmissions@lboro.ac.uk'

What communications can I expect once I have booked my event?

Please note: all email communications will be sent to the email address provided on your UCAS application.

• A confirmation will be emailed to you promptly after you have booked onto the event.
• 3 weeks prior to your event you will receive your itinerary and a QR code for registration.
• 7 days prior to your event you will receive a reminder email containing the QR code you will need for your registration. 

What can I expect if my course requires an Interview?

• You will have an interview with one of our academic members of staff that will last approximately 25 minutes. 
• You will be asked a number of questions that are simply intended to find out more about you, your experiences and your reasons for wanting to study your chosen degree programme. 
• The interview takes place in the afternoon, therefore, please do not worry if you are delayed in the morning due to transport issues. 
• We do not require a portfolio; however, we are happy to look at them if you wish to bring one along. 
• A smart/casual dress code is advised.

What happens after my Interview Day?

The Directors of Admissions will review all information gathered from your application form and interview. You will be notified on UCAS track of the decision within 2-3 weeks depending upon the time of year.

Can the University store my luggage whilst I attend my Interview/Visit Day?

Unfortunately, the University is unable to look after visitors luggage at the interview/visit days for security and insurance reasons. We recommend that you either bring luggage with you that you are able to carry throughout the day or if you are staying overnight at a hotel that you make arrangements with the hotel reception to store your luggage whilst you attend the event.
