BA Social Work applications 2018/19

Anyone been to an interview at York yet? I have had an invitation to an interview in Feb. Really excited but nervous. Just wondering what to expect? What did it entail? How was it?

It's not that bad, you have a written test of a case study, an interview which you will really need to read one of the articles they send you, then two group interviews which you just need to be confident in and then a Q&A with the admissions tutors about the course. All of it is fine, but make sure you know where you are going as the building can be hard to find on the day and also you will want to bring notes to read over as you will most likely have lots of time waiting around!
If you have any other questions just ask! x

Thank you for your reply. So I should be sent articles before hand in order to prepare? This is handy to know. ...were the group interviews very formal or like a general discussion? sorry about all the questions! Really appreciate any advice :smile:

Yes when they will send you an email with details of the day and you can pick form three, the group interviews, are are not formal one is a chat with two service users and the other is a case study task with the admissions tutor so you just need to work well with your group to come up with ideas.

I know, it's really frustrating when you fee you've done all that you can and still can't seem to get a break. All I can say is hang in there! I've still not been accepted onto SW so can't offer any advice, but just be aware that the majority of people are in the same boat in one way or another, and we just need to be persistent.
Good luck for your other choices tho! Still in with a chance!!!

If you really want to go into Social Work then I suggest taking a levels relevant to the sector or a BTEC level 3 in health and social care which is what I took and I've got offers from Bath and Nottingham :smile:
