Diagnostic Radiography 2016 interview

Hello everyone. I have a interview for diagnostic radiography on Tuesday and boy am I so nervous. The interview is at Portsmouth,can someone give me an idea of what sort of questions are asked and what to expect? Also how long it would take for the decision?

Thankyou
Hey, I had an interview at portsmouth for diagnostic radiography a couple months back (offer received a week later), they ask what you know about portsmouth, it's history etc. Why you want to study there, how do you think portsmouth and the uni can help you, what you know about radiography, current issues within health care at the moment, they may ask for radiography specifically but they just asked me about health care in general. They also asked what I would do in certain situations, as well as wanting to know about my work experience. So I definitely recommend reading up about current health and social care situations and portsmouth itself (a very good place to get this information from is from portsmouth university website usually under somewhere titled "why portsmouth?" And it'll give you details of the city, good thing about the interview is there's no test so you don't have to worry about that.
