I had mine at the end of November and got an offer for dual adult and child 2 weeks later! Everyone arrives and they give you name labels, then they take you into a room full of desks where you put all of your documents (original and photocopied) into a folder, which they then take away for checking during the interviews. Then they split everyone up into 2 halves; one half does the interview first and the other half does the tests first. I went to the group interview first and there were 7 others- might be worth chatting to the people sitting around you in the room because most of the groups were made up of one row of desks. I had a really nice discussion topic, based on the 6 C's but I heard that another group's was pretty nasty! Because there are so many of you it can be a bit tricky to get good points across, but try and make as many good points, without taking over. There are 2 interviewers in the room with you, and you all sit round a table with a big piece of paper in the middle. After that you do the other element- the maths test was fine as long as you're up to speed on GCSE stuff, and english is quite tight for time but as long as you've read over the documents they give you you'll be fine! They then give you a drink and biscuits, before a big question and answer session with the academic staff, admissions officers and current students. Hope that helps!


That's really really helpful, thank you :smile: hopefully it will go well tomorrow!

Why are you not considering either of the Birmingham universities that do nursing if you live there and don't want a long commute/

I really want to accept Oxford brookes as my firm, is it necessary to have an insurance choice as I don't want to attend any more interviews?
I don't believe so. You can fall into some places through clearing if needs be x
