Preparing For Your Interview
Why ‘that’ course?
As with any university interview, you will be asked why you have applied for the course
you have chosen. If you have conducted some thorough research, this is your chance to
shine and impress your interviewer, demonstrating your firm understanding of the
course syllabus and structure. Furthermore, interviewers want to know about YOU.
Which aspects of the course appeal to YOU and why?
Why ARU London?
Your interviewers will also want to know why you have chosen ARU London as opposed
to other universities. This is once again an excellent opportunity to show the interviewer
that you have conducted some research about ARU London. Try to think of examples as
to what ARU London can offer you that other universities may not be able to.
Previous Education/Qualifications:
Try to draw on your previous experience. For instance, you may have studied, or be
currently studying, something related to your chosen course. Perhaps you have worked
within that industry and have a wealth of experience to share. These are all examples
which can strengthen your argument as to why you have chosen your particular course.
Your CV & Personal Statement
Know your personal statement and CV inside out. Your interviewer will be keen to find
out more about your personal experiences in further detail. Remember to bring any
academic documents which have been requested from our Admissions Team.
Life After University
Although this is looking far ahead, interviewers will be interested to find out more about
your motivations behind studying at ARU London. Consider where you hope your degree
will take you and how this will help boost your career prospects.

Funding and support
FUNDING AWAITING CONFIRMATION

Student Finance England
Tuition fees:To be confirmed
Maintenance:To be confirmed
Most courses starting on or after 1 January 2027 use the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). You must be under 60 on the first day of the course to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan. At 60 or over, an additional living-cost loan may be available: we review this with you. If the course has not been confirmed as LLE-funded, check it with us.
For courses starting before 1 January 2027, the Tuition Fee Loan has no upper age limit. If you are 60 or over at the start of the first academic year, eligible full-time living-cost support is up to £4,582 in 2026/27, depending on household income.
Most courses starting on or after 1 January 2027 use the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). You must be under 60 on the first day of the course to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan. At 60 or over, an additional living-cost loan may be available: we review this with you.
Previous study does not rule you out: it depends on what you studied, whether you received UK funding and the course. We review it with you.
Student Finance England makes the decision. We help you check.Official source
Course funding does not guarantee individual approval or a particular amount.
To receive a Maintenance Loan you normally need regular in-person classes during the week. A course offering only weekend attendance does not normally meet these requirements. Before enrolling, confirm the timetable and any applicable exceptions with the provider and Student Finance England.
The provider will check that you meet the English requirements for this course, whether you are a Home or international student. Declaring your level does not replace their assessment.
The provider publishes student support services. Ask its support team about study needs, wellbeing, reasonable adjustments and any course-specific finance eligibility; support and funding are assessed individually.
