Oxford tutors are to be given extra training sessions to improve their interviewing technique.
The courses are intended to dispell myths surrounding the Oxford interview process by demonstrating that dons do not set out to trick or humiliate candidates.
Mark Wormald, a biochemistry fellow at Corpus Christi, said, “I think that the use and impact will be greater for potential interviewers than candidates. Both worry too much about the interviews and anything that demystifies what goes on has to be good.”
