Interview advice and preparation
An interview doesn’t have to be daunting experience. At the University of South Wales, we use the interview process to assess your commitment to your chosen course and ensure you will uphold the values expected by the profession and are fit to care for others in a professional setting.
It’s your opportunity to meet with us and allow us to get to know the person behind the application. It’s also your opportunity to decide if we are the right fit for you and you can see yourself studying with us!
The interview panel will consist of a lecturer and clinician, and, in many cases, we also invite service-users to be part of our interview panel. As you would expect, you’ll be asked a series of questions about your chosen field and your understanding of the role.
Remember, this is your opportunity to think about the role and qualities needed, and how your talents, skills and relatable experience match what we’re looking for in an Allied Health professional.
