MSc Nursing at The University of Huddersfield

Has anyone been offered an interview yet? Still waiting to hear from them :/ rang up the other day and they said they're working through in date order and my application was with the course leader for a decision.... Getting really anxious now :frown:

I was really nervous but the interviewers were really friendly so it wasn't that bad really. I have started the APL now. x

I had my interview last week and they didn't seem so friendly! I really don't know how it went! They didn't ask me if I had any questions at the end so I dont think it was very positive. Just waiting now to hear back! How did the interviews go for everybody else? What did they seem like?

Oh really? I wonder why they weren't friendly with you :/ that doesn't paint a good picture does it

When did you apply to them?
I sent my application in beginning of June and not heard anything egg other than a request for further info! I'm constantly checking my emails and my post its driving me insane :frown:

Me too! They said it would be about two weeks before we heard back.

I applied the week before. I think I sent my application on the weekend and got an email on the Tuesday inviting me to interview the following Tuesday. It wasn't that they weren't friendly - they were just quite....I dunno. All the candidates said it. But then with them not asking me to ask questions and being a little negative I felt like they had already made up their minds? Maybe I'm just stressing about nothing! Where else have you applied to? Have you had any other interviews?

I've just phoned up and she said my application is with the course leaders but unfortunately it is holiday period so she cannot tell me when I will hear back from them. Doesn't sound positive does it :frown:

There's nothing worse than going in for an interview and feeling even more uncomfortable, especially considering its for the nursing degree you would have thought they would have been a bit warmer knowing how nervous people already are.

I've applied to uclan too, it was a late application though so not expecting to hear back from them anytime soon as I think they've already held interviews. What about yourself?

I wouldnt worry too much. Maybe thats why mine was so frosty! Maybe they were covering! :confused:

I was so nervous. I don't know why!

I am in the process of applying to UCLAN - just got to get my reference from my referee. I spoke to them last week and they said they were still open and dont close til mid-August. I'm sure they will get back to you!

I also applied to both Sheffields, Essex, Edinburgh....erm....Pretty much everywhere offering a MSc or PGDip!

Whats your background? :biggrin:

Sorry guys I've not been on here recently...

I was offered an interview at Huddersfield the same day I phoned them to chase it, that is on Monday.. And today I have been offered an interview at UCLan for next Thursday!
I'm so neevous, trying to put the presentation together as we speak!

I have a psychology degree obtained at UCLan and currently work as a support worker in a secure LD and mental health unit.

How has everyone else got on?

Congratulations, which is your preference?

I would prefer Huddersfield as it is less of a commute for me and has a better reputation that UCLan, it is also a year less. I think that is why I'm so worried about my presentation haha!

How are you getting on with the APL?

Oh why is it so bad??? Have you / are you going to attend the APL information session?

My interview went well I think, I've had an email inviting me to the APL info session but it doesn't actually say I've been given a place so I don't want to get too happy just yet!
