The Student Room Group

Cardiff and Bristol Dental Hygiene 2015

Hi all.

Thought I'd make a group for this side of the map as they seem to be the last unis to take on.

Plus I'm. Being a bit selfish as these are the only two I've applied to :colondollar:

Would be lovely to speak to people who have applied and if and when the interviews start.

Lol sorry! I was too excited in my reply!
It's for Bristol too!

Where you from Neddy? What's your back ground?

I've had a search through the old posts and I think it can be things from testing your dexterity to role play with actors like the nursing exam.

Hey, I'm a Dental Nurse and went back to collegue to do my A level biology. I'm from fairly near to Bristol in Somerset.

I've heard Bristol do a round of interviews to test you. My nursing friend went last year and they had to do a ethical test and a practical test and a why do you want to do this career kind of question. What date are you going for yours?

Any one else get a date for Bristol Uni interviews?
Hey I have an interview at Bristol on 10th Feb too :u::u:

I'm still waiting on Cardiff! Typical them to be one of the last to respond! :unimpressed:

How did you guys find today? I thought it was horrific and unfair. I thought we'd at least get some one to one time with someone. Not just stations :dontknow:

Gosh :frown: what did you have to do?? I never applied to Bristol x

I've heard that Cardiff is also stations. What did you have to do??

You go in, have your picture taken, get taken up to the stations, 5 different questions in which time I didn't have enough time to complete most of them. Some of them are verbal another data analysis. Then that's it. No personal interview. Nothing to do with pt care or general dentistry. Not what I expected at all. I could understand the stations if they did personal interviews. Just my opinion :erm:

I did a work experience day at Cardiff and was told then that there isn't really a personal interview. How can they tell if you have people skills etc?
