PRE CAS Interview Preparation (11AM to 12PM)
Before receiving the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), students must pass the Pre-CAS interview, a crucial step to prove their readiness. This interview isn’t just a formality—it tests a student’s knowledge of the university, its origins, and their own academic plans. Short, vague answers won’t work. Universities expect well-structured, justified responses, not rushed replies within a minute. A strong student portfolio is key, showing clear academic goals and reasons for choosing the course. Each university handles this differently—some allow re-interviews or provide mock sessions, while others are strict, where failing could mean a CAS delay or rejection. To succeed, students must prepare thoroughly, demonstrate genuine intent, and confidently justify their choices.
