Student Visa Interview Frequently Asked Questions And Answers by Engineer11985(m): 9:53pm On Nov 24, 2017
Visa interview is an important step prior to the final confirmation of student visa approval for most countries including Australia, Poland, Germany, New Zealand, UK and USA. Your interview could fasten or delay your visa processing. Therefore, it is crucial that you prepare for the student visa interview and address all concerns of the visa officer.

The interview is taken by the ambassador or visa officer who may ask you a range of questions mainly to ensure that your application case is genuine and your intentions align with what is being written in the application form. The officer is a trained professional, who could ask multiple unrelated questions, not to annoy you but to know your real interests and objectives. If you are prepared, you can enjoy this process and meeting with someone who opens the door of a new country for you.

Note: Here, I will be using the UK as a case study, but the information will be helpful in obtaining visa to other countries like, the US, Poland, Australia, Poland, Ukraine, Germany,Russia,Austria etc.


The following are some of the important questions that the ambassador asks during the interview for the student visa

1. Why did you choose this university and how did you find it?


Tip: You should go through the website and handbook of your university carefully. Pen down some highlighted features such as World ranking, the research facility, the faculty profile, Alumni profile etc. Visa officer wants to know the reason behind joining the particular University. You should also mention the reason how you learned about the university.

This University is ranked highly especially in my field of study. I learned about this university while surfing on the net and then visited their official website to get more information about the university. I really got impressed with their Faculty profile and the course curriculum. The curriculum was very much similar to what I want to study.

2. Why did you select the UK for higher studies? Isn’t this course offered by any university or college in your country?


Tip: You should mention the quality of education in the UK . If the course is not available in your home country, you can tell the VO that it is not offered in your country. If the same course is available in your country, highlight the differences in the quality of education and the course structure in your country and UK. You should convince the VO that doing this course from UK will add value to your profile. Talk

about a few researches being conducted in that field. Technical words work out when other things don’t.

UK has always been the center of excellence especially in (mention your field here) and provides quality education by making students gain knowledge in a practical way as much as possible, so it is quite an obvious choice for me.

3. Why did you select this course? Is it relevant to your previous studies?

Tip: You should be very clear about your future plans after doing this course. Prepare a good statement mentioning about: How course is relevant to your previous degree, how this course adds value to you profile, why you are interested in doing this course etc.

This course is related to my previous studies and I have got a strong interest in this field.

4. Can you tell me the location of the university/college?


Tip: You should do some research on your university before visa interview. You should know its exact location and the location of different campus as well (if any). Location might be one of the reasons that you selected this particular university, so make sure that you know its exact location.

Yes. You should do some research on your university before visa interview. You should know its exact location and the location of different campus as well (if any).
