Is there any examination or interview during the UK student visa process?
Yes, you may be required to attend a credibility interview as part of the UK student visa process. This interview is conducted by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) to assess if you are a genuine student.
- The interview focuses on your reasons for studying in the UK, knowledge of your chosen course and university, financial plans, and future career goals.
- It is typically conducted in English, either by video call, phone, or in person at a visa application centre.
- Not all applicants are selected - UKVI decides who is invited.
If you are invited, attending the interview is mandatory, and missing it without a valid reason can lead to a visa refusal. If you need more guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can help you prepare.
