Interview advice and preparation
An interview doesn’t have to feel daunting. At the University of South Wales, it’s our way of getting to know you and understanding your commitment to your chosen course. It also helps us make sure you share the values of the profession and are ready to care for others in a professional setting.
It’s your chance to meet our team, show us the person behind the application, and decide if USW is the right place for you.
Your interview panel will include a lecturer, a clinician, and sometimes a service user. You’ll be asked questions about your chosen field, your understanding of the role, and the qualities needed to become a nurse or midwife.
Think of it as an opportunity to reflect on your skills, experiences, and what makes you a great fit for your future career in healthcare.
