Hi,

I have an interview tomorrow at UCL to study MSc Construction Economics and Management. I was just wondering what to expect at such interviews. I had job interviews before but I assume this will probably be different. Does anyone have any advice of what questions to expect?

Also what should be the dress code? I guess it should be smart, something that you would wear to a job interview but some people have suggested wearing casual clothes. Of course I don't want to go in wearing jeans and trainers but should I be careful and not go in too smart?

thanks for your help

thanks so much for the encouragement, yes that's what someone else was telling me too that they might bunk up the marks if everyone fails, still worried though as i only answered 25% worth of the marks and haven't done as much work for other modules due to the said exam. crazily enough the exam for the same module at LSE was easier (I checked!), really made me wonder. Oh well still hoping for the best and will have to see closer to the time what happens. Should have never mentioned doing this diploma in the first place when I was applying I guess. ! thanks again

yes thanks of course a conditional offer is a conditional offer but I was just wondering if there were any instances when this has been waived. Especially seeing that I have already got my undergraduate degree at 2:1 and that's what they are asking for at CASS. Also I know that sometime universities (LSE for example) do consider people who have failed to meet the offer (but this is only for undergraduate studies). Should I maybe contact CASS and ask them what their procedure is although I don't want to do this before I am sure I failed (which at this moment I think I definitely did not being pessimistic or anything just realistic seeing that I just answered 1/4 of the paper)
Thanks a lot for any insight on this 

Hi,
I have recieved an offer from CASS to study for a masters programme. I already have an undergraduate degree (2:1) from my previous university and am currently studying for a diploma in Economics. My offer is conditional on me sucessfuly completing my diploma. The problem is today I had my first exam which I am almost 99% postive I failed (it was impossibly hard and many other students found this too so I really hope marks could be brought up but this is not sure).

My question is, if I do fail and not get my diploma would Cass still consider me or are Masters programmes usually very strict on these? I am stressed as it is and not sure what to do as I really want to go there ( I am still waiting for UCL to reply) Your help would be really appreciated?

Thanks

Hi,
I graduated last year with a 2:1 in Management and am currently studying for a postgraduate diploma in Economics. I have just applied for a masters in Real Estate (CASS) and was wondering what are my chances of getting an unconditional offer? Do universities usually base their decision on the undergraduate degree mark or will they want me to achieve a certain mark in my diploma too? Has anyone been in a similar situation? I am just a bit worried about my final grades for this diploma and would obviously love to have a secure place. Many thanks for your replies :-)
