To impress the interviewer, you should dress politely and politely, but also do not need to be too formal, do not wear too heavy makeup or dress sloppily whether you are interviewed via Skype or face-to-face interview.

• Always be honest

• Ask again if you can't hear clearly.

• Although the content of the interview will be decided by the interviewer, if you can turn a one-way Q&A interview into a regular, flexible conversation and you sometimes ask questions to the interviewer, 90% of you already have a UK visa in your hands.

• Finally, the biggest obstacle for you when interviewing for a UK visa is the interviewer's suspicion of whether you are studying abroad, and whether you intend to stay and settle down after the end of the course. Therefore, you should present a detailed and scientific study and work plan and a plan to find a job for yourself after graduation to prove that this course brings a lot of useful knowledge to you so that you can build a future in your hometown, and help your country become more and more prosperous.
