Interview days

For your online interview please ensure you have with you:
Our interviewing tutor will send you a link to your zoom meeting by emailing you. Where possible our tutors will contact you 24 hours before your interview.
Our BA (Hons) Social work interview sessions will run from 08:45 until 16:15 so please ensure that you are available to join the session at 08:45. Your interviewing tutor will send a link to the zoom session via email, and you will receive this at least 24 hours ahead of the interview session.
Our interview sessions will start with a Welcome and Programme introduction, with a group interview to follow.
After the group interview you will then be given an individual interview time slot between 10:00 and 15:30. You will be allocated your time slot following the group interview and will not need to wait on zoom for the full day.
All individual interview lasts for approximately 30 minutes.
You can access Zoom via your web browser. However, if you would prefer to install the programme ahead of your interview, you can do so by visiting the Zoom website.
If you have not used Zoom before, please visit their Help Centre FAQs to familiarise yourself with the software.
The decision to offer places is based on your performance in all the above alongside both your references and original application.
If you are successful at interview and are made a conditional offer, as part of your offer you will need to complete a DBS and Occupational Health check. If you do not pass these checks satisfactorily, you will not be able to start a course with us.
