London Metropolitan University Pre-CAS Interview Questions 2026

Updated July 2026London Metropolitan University runs its own Compliance Interview — a distinctive, well-documented step in its admissions and visa-compliance process. Applicants from eleven countries (Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, Sudan, Somalia and Myanmar) are invited to attend once all academic and non-academic offer conditions are met. London Met is at pains to frame it warmly: it's not a test, there are no right or wrong answers — but you must explain your choices clearly, honestly, and in your own words.
The interview is about your personal study journey: how and why you chose your course, why London Met, and why the UK, plus your practical plans for accommodation, travel and funding. London Met publishes an unusually complete question bank spanning intention to study, course choice and progression, university-specific questions (including which of its Holloway, Aldgate and Shoreditch sites you'll study at), career plans, visa and working rules, and finances. Its guidance is blunt about preparation: don't memorise a speech and don't copy answers from agents or other students — talk about your own story.
The cost of walking in unprepared
London Metropolitan University's pre-CAS process runs 5 stages. Most applicants only find out they weren't ready once the decision is made.
