About the programme
This interview explores whether you can succeed in a master's programme that connects quantitative analysis with management decisions. The panel is interested in your technical foundation, but it also wants to see how you frame ambiguous problems, question evidence and communicate a useful recommendation.
How to prepare
- Review the statistics, maths, spreadsheet and programming work shown in your application.
- Prepare one example of an analysis that changed a decision or revealed an unexpected limitation.
- Practise turning broad business concerns into questions, measures and testable assumptions.
- Refresh core ideas such as correlation, sampling, uncertainty and data quality.
- Consider how privacy and bias could affect an analytics project in your area of interest.
Common mistakes
- Listing software without explaining how you used it to answer a business question.
- Treating a correlation as proof that one factor caused another.
- Ignoring weak data, privacy concerns or the limits of a model.
- Giving a technical explanation without a clear decision or recommendation.
