Physics
The interview for Physics at Oxford is a vital part of the application process, designed to assess your critical thinking, analytical skills, and engagement with fundamental concepts in physics. During the interview, you will encounter questions that challenge you to articulate your understanding of physical theories, problem-solving techniques, and your ability to apply mathematical reasoning to scientific scenarios.
Interviewers are keen to see how you approach problems and analyse information, so thorough preparation in expressing your reasoning aloud is essential. Practising your ability to discuss complex topics clearly and confidently will help you demonstrate your passion for physics.
What are Oxford Physics interview questions?
What happens to the pressure inside a balloon as it rises?
Why do we not feel the Earth's motion?
What would happen if a fly collided with a train moving at high speed? How would you calculate the force on the train and the fly?
How much would the water level in a lake rise if a boat floating on it were to sink?
Why do raindrops fall as spherical shapes and not in any other form?
If you were in a car with a helium balloon what would happen as the car turned a corner?
How does the mock interview service work?
We offer all of our potential mock interview students a free consultation with one of our team of senior tutors. This is to allow them to explain what they are looking for for their mock interviews. The senior tutor will then chat to our network of Oxbridge Educated tutors to find a perfect group of tutors each of whom will each run their own interview in a slightly different but realistic style.
After each interview the student will receive both verbal and written feedback outlining what they did well and crucially, what they could do better.
We believe each student requires a bespoke, personalised service. We therefore don't require to students commit to any number of interviews before they start, but rather only until they feel confident they can do well in the interview!
