How Bahraini Students Can Prepare for UK University Interviews

For Bahraini students aiming to study in the UK, university interviews are a crucial step in the admissions process. Dr. Anil Khare states that while certifications and marks matter, interviews enable the institution to assess a candidate's communication, motivation and knowledge of the relevant subject. In Bahrain, many students believe they do not need to focus on interview preparation since their grades speak for themselves. However, Dr. Anil Khare says it is important to start preparing early for competitive programmes such as those for Medicine, Law or places at Oxbridge.

Dr. Anil Khare points out that Bahraini students can improve their chances by practising mock interviews. Practising in simulations allows students to feel confident with the format and hear how experts would answer. Anyone from Bahrain is asked to tell why they choose their course of study and highlight how their past experiences are related to what they hope to study. Based on what Dr. Anil Khare says, being passionate and well-informed about your area of study helps you make an impression.

Another key factor as Dr. Anil Khare points out, is staying up-to-date with current developments in the chosen field of study. For example, a Bahraini student applying for Engineering should be aware of recent innovations and how these align with their interests. In Dubai and Bahrain alike, students are encouraged to read academic journals or attend webinars to expand their perspective and demonstrate intellectual curiosity during interviews.

Finally, Dr. Anil Khare emphasises the importance of cultural awareness and confidence. Bahraini students must be ready to express their opinions respectfully, maintain good eye contact (especially during virtual interviews), and show their readiness to adapt to UK academic life. Interviewers look for potential, not perfection—something Dr. Anil Khare regularly reinforces with students he mentors in Bahrain.
