Thanks a lot
Hiya, I've my interview on Tuesday for both the 2 year and 3 year at magee. I'll be sure to copy down the questions and let you all know what they are. Speaking to previous students last year and recent graduates I believe it's all linking your professional and personal life questions as well as one scenario based question.

Seen this:
The interview is a two-stage process: 1. Stage One - Case Scenario Prior to answering the ‘virtual interview questions’ you are asked to read a ‘Case Scenario’. 2. Stage Two Virtual Interview (5 questions) One question from the online interview will focus on the Case Scenario. The remaining four questions will concentrate on your motivation to pursue a career in social work and your understanding of different aspects of social work practice. It is important that you draw upon any life or work experience, and you consider skills, knowledge, and values important to social work.

Thank you! I'm hoping to go to Ulster! Just wondering if you would mind sharing if you were asked specific things like about policies or current events or just more general things about the role like qualities / skills / values etc?

I have just finished mine it’s really nothing to be scared about they all things we are familiar with. If you are yet to do yours pls try and go to the NISCC website and read it well. Very helpful.

Thanks for the reassurance! Yes the website is great! I think I am just overthinking worrying very specific things will come up that I don't know enough about 😂
