Why Interview is conducted?

If you are applying to study in the United Kingdom (UK) from a high-risk country, you will have
to participate in a UK credibility interview. The interview ensures that only genuine students
likely to complete their course receive a Tier 4 visa to study in the UK. The credibility interview is
an integral part of the university’s decision to issue a Confirmation of Acceptance to Study (CAS)
letter, which you will need to apply for a visa.

Studying overseas is a big commitment, and the university wants to know that you have done
the right research before making such a big decision. Even if you don’t have to take the
credibility interview, preparing for it can help with your visa interview.

While it can seem intimidating, here’s how you can prepare for the UK credibility interview and
pass it with flying colors!

In the past, UK universities have seen individuals posing as students come to the UK intending to work
rather than study. Upon arrival in the UK, they either fail to register at the university or register and
don’t attend class. The UK credibility interview helps a university determine whether your intentions to
study in the UK are genuine.
The university’s admissions office will reach out to schedule an interview:

 After issuing a conditional offer

 Six months before the course start date, based on the university’s availability
