Hi guys, current OT student @ Cardiff here. I'm on the PGdip course but the interview process if the same. As already explained the interview process is comprised of a group discussion on a case study (you will be provided this before the interview) and multi-mini interviews (basically 'speed dating' style interview - a few mins to read the question before a few mins with the interviewer before a bell sounds and you move onto the next station). I think it's important to remember that with the case study they really aren't assessing your ability or skills as an OT per say (after all learning the theory is what they teach you at uni) - it's more about how you act in a group dynamic. The course @ Cardiff is entirely taught through problem-based-learning which I really recommend you read up on as they tend to ask about it in the MM interviews and can be quite a challenging (although very effective) way of learning so it's important you think it is a style that would suit you. PBL is all about group work, so in the case study discussion I would try to avoid dominating the discussion or simply waiting for the person speaking to finish you can say your bit. When you are qualified you will work in multidisciplinary teams so it is a skill they really value. Really try and engage in a conversation with the other interviewees and maybe try to incorporate quieter members of the group in the discussion by asking what they think and listen and reflect on what people are saying during the discussion. With the MM interviews, my only advice would be to read up on the philosophy of OT - client-centeredness, how humans are occupational beings, how meaningful occupation contributes to overall health and well being and also current ideas in health and social care such as dignity and equality. Maybe also try to think of some meaningful occupations you have yourself and how your life would be different if you couldn't fully engage with them. My main advice is to not stress! OTs are lovely people (and the majority of the interviewers will be OTs) and although interviews are very stressful, just try and let your compassion, empathy and openness shine as these are the main qualities they look for and the rest can be learnt (but do make sure you read up about PBL - they want you to really understand what that is!) Also if your interview is in the TDS building I would recommend getting there a bit early as the building is a bit of a faff to find rooms in. If you need help - the reception is located on the first floor and not the basement as advertised. Good luck!
