Social Work Applicants 2016!

i have mine in about 2 weeks!! ill let you know how it goes and give you some tips!

9th Feb, how about you?

Hi!

I thought I'd start an official thread for 2016 Social Work Applicants as I can't find many with recent posts. Just wondering if there is anyone that is applying this year and to which universities? Or has anyone had an interview/offer yet?

I am applying to Sheffield Hallam, Northumbria, Leeds Beckett, York and Manchester met.

Hi,
I have a interview at Leeds Beckett on Thursday have you been to an interview or been offered one yet?

Ah good luck! That's the part I'm worried about as well I've saw some old threads on here where I saw some people say they were sent a letter a week to 24 hours before the interview telling them what the written test would be about so they could prep, hope that still happens!

Yeah think their interview was a few weeks ago now and heard back a week or so later saying they were unsuccessful! Oh god, I'm sure it will be fine, just need to think positively, and if you get given an interview prepare as much as possible!

hey i have applied to, salford, lancaster, sheffiled hallam and leeds! anyone else?

Its the 27th right? Got everything xed for you! Can't wait to hear what its all about and how you get on!

Yep, will let you know what happens! Update: just had an email from bournemouth, my interview which I thought went terribly last week must of gone the opposite! Got offered a place! 😀

Oh well done!!!! I had applied to go to Bournemouth also, and have an interview next week!!!

Good luck! I wish I could give you some pointers but I honestly don't know how I managed it! Just be confident and make sure you join in with your group discussion as much as possible! ☺️

Thank you, is it one of the harder interviews you've had? I've only had one so far and was rather straight forward!!

I'm nervous about the presentation which we're asked to do on 'What is Social Work' it's rather broad in my opinion! But just gotta go with it I suppose!

It was my first one so very happy! Haha yeah I said it was very broad but they said that's the whole point of it really to see how much information you give and what about!

Hi everyone!!!
How's everyone getting on with their interviews? I had my Uclan interview a couple of weeks ago at Preston and I was absolutely bricking it the run up to it. I have to say it wasn't bad at all, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly as were the other candidates attending for their interviews.
The process consisted of a 45 minute written test which I received the brief for 2 weeks prior to the interview in the post so I knew exactly what I had to write about. There was also a one to one interview. They sent out the interview questions too so I could prepare answers. At the end of the interview I was told there and then I would be made an offer so that was really good. I was dreading having to come home and wait for weeks for an answer because Uclan was my preferred choice. My experience with Uclan was a very positive one, I really like their process.
If anyone wants any advice feel free to ask and good luck to those waiting on interviews :-)
