Hi guys,

I applied through the UK Committee for the POL course and was so surprised to find out on Friday 09/03 that I have an interview on the 21st in London.

Needless to say, I am now a nervous wreck (which is probably why i'm online reading about CoE at 1.30am :) )

I am hoping it won't be too stressing but I'm really concerned about my French. Really not up to scratch and I'm not at all confident about discussing any issues in-depth :/ I am receiving regular tuition and I am confident that if I did get in, it would be sufficient, but as I say this has been a surprise! Oh well I suppose all I can do is try and hope!

How is everyone else feeling? Any one had an interview yet? Any tips?

Hope to see you all in Bruges :)

Hello to all of you!
Is there anybody from Poland?
I apply for IRDS and, as a second choice, European Law. I have just been invited to the interview that will take place at the end of March. I will be grateful for any tips from those of you, who have already had this experience.
Regards

Hello emka :)
I am from Poland and I have applied for IRDS too. My interview is on 27th March and I am so stressed...:P

Received right now the email from Rome for being pre-selected.

I really hope it won't take long to know when the interviews will take place...

@Stevenpens: I received it on friday, but they do not know yet the exact date of the interview. And this is a major concern for me since I currently live abroad, reallllllllly far from Italy, and we cannot have phone interview!!! If you have any idea about it, let me know! and fingers crossed for both of us, I think we'll def meet each other in Rome soon :)

:)) HOPE so! well, good luck with your last exam then!

Good luck to everybody who is going to have an interview soon! Does anyone know how long does it take -after the interview- for the College to answer whether you are admitted or not? I had the interview last Thursday and I'm really looking forward to their answer, also to be able to make it and apply on time to other LLMs in case I won't be admitted by the College :(
Thanks and good luck to all of you!

Hello everybody!!!
I just received communication from Rome too that we will have the interview some day in the end of march ( I believe so, last year it was like this)...
I applied last year too and went to the interview and all that, but did not receive any (positive or negative) communication after that!
Anyway, I think the problem was I still did not have my University degree, and that, overall, did not help with the score! The interview was ok, in French and English, sometimes they ask technical questions, but not too much in detail...
Well, that's all folks, see you soon hopefully!

Hello everybody and congrats to those who already received an invitation for the interview! Btw, any ENP candidates here?!

Hi everybody! I received the communcation some days ago, and I am starting to realise just now that I've been pre-selected (read: panic!). What do you guys do to prepare for the interview? I wrote my bachelor dissertation on the Serbia/Kosovo issue and I am revising some stuff on enlargement and accession process, but I have no idea if I need to focus on the legal/historic/most recent aspects.. -->that's because I am convinced that the interview will be focused on our previous studying/working experiences (follows panic scream).
Btw: good luck to everybody, and I hope to meet all the Italians in Rome when they will tell us the date !

ughh I'm dyyying here reading about everyone's inverviews and not knowing if I have one myself...

@CamiC: like you said I too think an important part of the interview is based on your general academic/work background but I get the feeling CURRENT EVENTS are key.

again, best of luck to those preparing an interview :)

I am now The Economist and EUObserver's best friend! :D

btw, don't worry ilse: I am pretty sure that your national committee is a bit late. Where are you from? The Italian responsible of the admission procedure told me that Italy, Spain and France are the countries with most applicants, and taht it requires a long evauation of CVs and applications!

@ CamiC: yup Spain's my committee and to make matters worse the application deadline was yesterday so I bet people have been applying until the last moment...

the fact that Spain's one of the countries with the most applicants doesn't exactly put my mind at ease either...anyway you know what they say: hope for the best, prepare for the worst :)

best of luck to you!

Hey guys!

I'm an Italian candidate who received just few days ago the confirmation that I've been pre-selected. I am anxiously waiting for the communication regarding when and where my interview will be. Is there any other LLM candidate?What will you study for the interview? and are you also applying for the ENP scholarship?
I am writing my motivational letter right now, but I am a bit skeptical 'cause I've a Law degree and legal background: (unluckily) I have never dealt with EU external relations, so I am wondering if I am not wasting my Saturday morning!

Cheers!
