Interviews take place at our office in London or on Zoom. You can choose the format which suits you best. If you choose to attend in person we will cover your travel costs. We will ask you to tell us about any reasonable adjustments we can make.

Interview panels are made up of members of our Advisory Council, Trustee Board, and Fellows who are experts in the programme you have applied to.

The interview lasts for 20 minutes. It begins with an opportunity for you to bring your idea to life, speaking for up to 3 minutes. Then the panel will ask questions related to your overseas learning, the change you want to make in the UK, and your personal development.
