Although saying that I doubt there will be any 'set questions'
It will be more personal statement based and they will be judging you character and eagerness to want to be on the course

I'm in the process of applying, haven't sent the form off yet, but hopefully by the end of next week.

I don't think it's anything to be concerned about. One would assume they make their invitations for interview after the deadline for recieving applications has passed. That way they can judge everyone fairly, especially if they only have limited interview slots, which I assume they do.

I applied last minute, literally sent my application special next day delivery with Sheffield such that they recieved it on the final day (28th Sept) so I'm hoping the same applies with Leeds.

It is great to see so many ladies applying, hopefully the novelty of a gent will make them feel for me and let me in!!

Kp5555: Thats great that you would share your experience, I would too. But only after getting an answer one way or the other!!

In regards interview questions, I'm sure we all know generally what to expect:


why do you want to be a dental hygienest/therapist?
why have you chosen sheffield?
what qualities do you think make a good dental hygienist?
tell me about your work experience?
what size are your feet?


. . .

ok maybe not the last one, but they might throw a dummy question in just to shake things up. lol.
