Interview at Derby for nursing

I've been invited to an interview by the University of Derby for adult nursing and I was wondering whether anyone could give me advice? I was wondering what the structure of the interview day was like and what sort of questions were asked?
Thank you in advance

Hi @MiaT01,

Some interview information can be found here.

You'll meet our supportive staff and some of our current students, and hear about the range of placement opportunities we can offer. Following the session as a group, you'll have your interview as an individual. You'll be with us for half a day, and the team will be looking for you to show a passion for and understanding of the nursing profession.

Best of luck with your interview.
Ryan

Omg! I’ve had it was good like you could tell I was nervous but they are so nice and it’s so chill like not formal at all. Everyone’s so nice. They just do like a mini presentation and then you talk to the current student and ask them questions and then they take you do the 1:1 interviews. Honestly I love the uni ! Plus I got an offer today!!!! Whooop whooop don’t be scared you’ll be fine! GOODLUCK
