Hi,
I have also applied for social work at bath, Leeds, DMU, Bristol and Bournemouth. Currently I haven't received any offers for social work but Bournemouth has given me an offer to study criminology instead. I would love to become friends and who knows we could end up in Leeds studying social work.

Omg! Would you mind telling me about the Nottingham interview afterwards?? Are you 18??
Can I just ask, what do you all aspire to be (career wise) after uni?
do you all want to become a social worker?

I hope to eventually study CBT in post graduate.
Social work is unique, as it allows you be a certified social worker after your course. Then you can specialise into mental health sw for example.

Yes of course I want to be a social worker after my degree, it gives me a direct qualification by Social work England which is very good

My mum is a house manager and she spends her days looking after the tenants who live in the sheltered accommodation, I love speaking with the people. Although this hasn’t given me direct motivation, I’ve know I’ve always wanted to work somehow with people directly, and reading a few books and wat Hong a few tv shows has kinda shown me how being a social worker, you get the opportunity to help people and intervene and try to change peoples direction for the better. I first wanted to study sociology and social policy, and I was wondering what to do after my degree, after a bit of research h I realised that in order to become a social worker I would propose need to do a training course for about 2 more years. That would mean I would effectively be in education for a further 5 years, which is not really what I want, so when I discovered I could do social work and live on campus and get a degree which satisfy my needs and would allow me to effectively secure me a job post-qualification I knew social work would be for me.

hi there, the average wait time is 4 - 5 weeks, and at DMU we have started to contact people with slots for interviews.
I cant see why you would be disadvantaged.. would it help for you to attend our open day and then you can pose these types of questions directly to the teams?
I have attached a link to the open day: https://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/undergraduate-study/open-days/open-days.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQiAw_H-BRD-ARIsALQE_2Mha7iAm-Cola2eYC5Y78TCBoaMNkGDV4uS35k_UeLFdrTo-wNxmYQaAoaMEALw_wcB
There are lots of interview tips on our website and attached some relevant information: https://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/undergraduate-study/interviews/interview-advice.aspx
good luck with your applications!

Hi
I don’t know if this helps but I sent my application around October and DMU replied back to me in December so it does take a while. I personally think that you are in a better position than me because of your age you might have more experience and for social work they do look for that. The course is so competitive it will take a while.

hi there
the average time is 2/3 weeks and we start giving them as soon as is possible, as we understand how frustrating the wait can be
I cant see age being a barrier, all university courses are about competencies and working hard to succeed!
good luck !
