Are you preparing for an Oxford interview for Archaeology and Anthropology?
In this demonstration video, Oxford University tutors Dr Timothy Clack, Chingiz Gutseriev Research Fellow in Archaeology and Anthropology and Dr Neil Armstrong, Stipendiary Lecturer in Social and Cultural Anthropology will take you through what to expect during the interview process.
This was recorded with a first year Archaeology and Anthropology student. The video begins with an introduction from the tutors explaining why they interview and what to expect from the conversation. This is followed by a sample interview, after which the tutors talk about how the interview went.

Q: How will I find out if I have been invited to interview?
A: Shortlisted candidates will receive a letter or an email inviting them to interview, usually between the middle of November and early December.
Q: Will I have more than one interview?
Q: How can I prepare?
A: Our top tip is to practise speaking about your subject and your thoughts about what you've seen or read. Check out our website for lots more suggestions of things you can do to prepare.
Q: What if I don’t know the answer?
A: There may be more than one right way to answer a question, in which case tutors will be more interested in exploring your thought process. Remember they are trying to find out how you think, so anything you say will interest them. If you think you don’t know the answer to a question, don’t panic, but try and apply your mind to it – you may surprise yourself! They are looking for evidence that you are willing to engage with new ideas, and that you can be flexible in your thinking. Top tip: don’t try and second guess what tutors are looking for – just be yourself.
Q: What happens if I need adjustments because of a disability?
Q: What software do I need? Do I need additional devices?
Q: Where will my interview(s) take place?
A: Online interviews should take place wherever you feel able to perform at your best. This should be somewhere you have reliable access to the required technology and a quiet space. We hope that this will be either in your school or college, or your home or similar environment. As soon as you receive your invitation to interview, we suggest that you discuss with your school or college where you would like this to take place.
