Pre-Interview
Once your Application and supporting documents have been received or are expected shortly, the Admissions Department will schedule a Pre-Interview. This conversation is designed to be mostly informal offering both BIMS staff and the Applicant to cover issues and information which is not covered in the formal interview process.

Interview
Ideally in person. However, video conferencing will be the standard process for the foreseeable future. Formal. Structured. All interviewees will be asked standard sets of questions.
