well it is one of London's leading unis for graduate employment, and i think employability is the main thing that should be considered rather than the ranking of the uni.

You're right. I checked The top 12 in the UK and Cambridge came 7th. Behind Cardiff Metropolitan University.

Sparkleboo..i had the interview thing today, it was only a numeracy and literacy test, very basic questions, no calculators allowed, questions r on number, one of ratio and a few on fractions, literacy test is split into two parts, one is comprehension where u r given an article and u give answers related to it and other part is essay writing, they ask u a question and u write about a page..

Hi guys!
For you guys asking, I am in my first year of Adult Nursing and I started this september. and the interview and test was on the same day. I don't really know if it's different for you guys but definitely call the university up. They should be able to help. For you guys asking about the essay for me the essay was about obesity, be prepared, do some research on the NHS, not too much research like don't kill yourself over it! LOL but the maths test is very basic, adding, subtraction, division, some fractions. There are worded questions so BEWARE and read carefully! Also regards to the interview you will be interviewed by 2 people, i was nervous but be confident, be yourself and just talk and answer the questions like you're having a normal conversation and you should be fine! Smile and be out going! the worst is when you're shaking and being quiet. Expand on your answers and answer them with confidence! That is the key! and Also the diversity question... i thought hard on this very HARD and just explain the different genders, religions, disabilities etc.
For example on religions - some religions people for example a muslim female may request a female nurse because they would not feel comfortable if a male nurse was to examine or care for them. We need to respect their choices and this is important for the Muslim females dignity as we would not want to take their dignity and respect from them.
Also dress smart/casual. Maybe a blazer and jeans, blouse and jeans with nice shoes not trainers/converse/vans etc!!!
HOPE THIS HAS HELPED!
All the best of luck people! YOU CAN DO ITTT!

Thanks for ur advice on the interview part, i had a test day yesterday which is on a different day to the interview..r u studying at the Havering campus?
i had a question on obesity, very easy, could expand on it a lot as it required u to give opinions of why u thought the number of cases of obesity r increasing in the u.k. Population
