Social Work University 2017

I thought I would start an official thread for 2017 social work students as I have not seen one yet.
I have applied to do social work at the following Uni's: Bath, Bristol UWE, Bournemouth, Brighton and Southhampton Solent! I have already been invited to an interview at Bath for the 30th of November! Am very nervous for the interview, they have attached an article which we will be asked questions on there! Has anyone else been offered an interview?
I have also been contacted by Bristol UWE asking me for more information about my work experience.
Any advice/tips for the interview?
Thanks :smile:

Update- Have now accepted bath as my first choice and bristol uwe as my insurance

Hi,
I applied to 5 universities to study Social Work, I applied on October 19th and have applied to Bristol UWE, Gloucestershire, Southampton Solent, Bournemouth and Brighton. All 5 have acknowledged me and I have had interview offers from Gloucestershire (Nov 18th), Brighton (Dec 2nd) and Bristol UWE (Dec 14th).
