Social Work QUB/UU Applicants 2017

Sorry for confusion, no not the same room they were in a different room but I thought it would only be one interview per time slot but I guess not as they have so many to interview. How did everyone get on today. They never asked me about current issues but it doesn't mean they won't ask you. Just look up stuff about under funding and issues with carers etc there's loads of current issues on this

Ah I see, was getting worried! Lol hopefully then it won't take so long to hear back if there's an offer then! But maybe that means there's even more applicants than last year 🙈

Hey - biggest thing is try to calm your nerves! As hard as that is! The interviewers are lovely and you don't want to let your nerves get the better of you. Make sure you know exactly why you want to be a social worker and what experience you have that you can relate to. Well thats the main advice I was given for mine! I'm currently in the limbo between interview and finding out!
Did you not share your info? If your shared then your interview is for QUB and UU.

Hi! It's really nerve wracking but basically if you get in, you should hear by the end of April. If it's bad news (fingers crossed it isnt) you will hear definitely within 10 days. Last year I was unsuccessful and I found out 2 days after interview. I hope it's good news! I've applied to queens, Magee, Belfast met and dungannon 😊 where was your interview?

Ah we could be possible classmates then 😀 do you have a preference where you go? I'm a nervous wreck every time I get an email on my phone 🙈 lol if you're unsuccessful then you'll get an email saying to check ucas!
