Interviews
It is usual for our potential students to be invited to attend an
interview once they have applied to study with us in the Faculty of Health and Social Care. For all courses there are a number of documents you'll need to bring to the interview. Some subjects also require students to take numeracy and literacy tests. Ensure your interview is a success and be as prepared as you can.
