At LIS we know you’re more than just your grades. Selection Days are designed to help us understand:
We use this information, together with your grades (which we look at in the context of your background), to determine whether LIS is the right fit for you. Selection Days are also an opportunity for you to get to know us and ask us any questions. We also host Selection Day Q&As online as an opportunity for you to ask us any questions ahead of your interviews, so be sure to look out for those dates in your Selection Day invitation email.
Selection Days are conducted online and will take around 70 minutes.
You don’t need to prepare; just be yourself. It’s a chance for us to get to know you, for you to get to know us, and hopefully learn more about yourself along the way.
You’ll take part in two interviews, one after the other, using two Teams links which should be sent to you in an email the week before. You don’t need to prepare anything for either of the interviews, we are interested to know more about who you are and understand how you think.
The clue is in the title! You’ll have a conversation with a member of the LIS team to talk about who you are, and what some of your passions and interests are.
The interview will be preceded by a short reading task which your first interviewer will provide to you. Then your second interview will be your opportunity to talk through the problem with a member of the LIS faculty. This is the part of Selection Day that will really help us to understand how you think.
LIS commits to ensuring that all individuals are treated equitably, regardless of gender, race or ethnicity, socio-economic background, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital status, pregnancy or maternity, or any other inappropriate distinction.
If you have additional requirements for online platforms (for example, if you do not have access to a laptop/tablet, a quiet space and/or an internet connection) please let us know by emailing admissions@lis.ac.uk and we’ll make arrangements for you.
If you have disclosed a disability, specific learning difference or medical condition in your application form, we will invite you to discuss any necessary and appropriate reasonable adjustments. If you have not disclosed, then we encourage you to contact us at admissions@lis.ac.uk so that we can make any reasonable adjustments.
