UCL’s MiM interview usually focuses on your motivations, clarity of goals, and fit with the program. They’ll ask things like “Why UCL?”, “Why a Master’s in Management and not an MBA?”, or “What are your short and long-term goals?” It’s not about testing technical skills, but more about understanding your thought process, ambitions, and whether you’ve done your homework about the school.
You can also expect situational or behavioral questions—like “Tell us about a time you faced a challenge in a team and how you handled it” or “Describe a leadership experience.” Just be honest, structure your answers clearly, and tie everything back to how UCL MiM will help you grow.
Lastly, they may ask “What will you contribute to the cohort?” or “How do you see yourself using this degree in your career?” So try to show self-awareness and a bit of personality. It's more of a conversation than a grilling, so keep it natural and focused on your genuine goals.

UCL’s MiM interview mainly checks how well you know yourself and your career plans. Most of the questions are personal and goal-based. You’ll likely be asked, “Why do you want to study MiM at UCL?” or “What are your career goals after this program?” So, before the interview, be clear about why you chose this course and how it fits into your future.
They might also ask about your past experiences, especially how you’ve worked in teams or handled problems. For example, “Can you give an example of a time when you solved a conflict in a group?” or “Tell us about a project where you showed leadership.” These questions help them see how you think and act in real-life situations.
One or two questions may also focus on what you will bring to the class. Like, “What makes you different from other applicants?” or “How will you contribute to the UCL community?” Try to keep your answers honest and clear. You don’t need to sound perfect—just real and focused.
The overall tone of the interview is friendly and professional. It’s not a stress test. It’s more like a chat to see if you’re the right match for the program and if the program fits what you’re looking for.
