Interviews (Full-Time and Executive MBA only)

If successful in the initial review stage, we will invite you to attend an interview at Durham University Business School. This gives you the opportunity to discuss your choice, and see the school and city. We hold several MBA preview events every year when interviews can be arranged. See forthcoming preview events and book a place online.

For overseas applicants who are unable to attend an interview in person, we can arrange for an interview to take place via Skype or telephone.
