it depends on which uni,like for example, goldsmiths, that was one was soooo longggf it was 12-3.But generally, they all asked for why do i want to be a sw?
what experience will help me in social work?
what would i do in this scenario( for example if a child wanted to visit their father in prison)
what qualities and skills does a social worker need?
why are social workers important?

Yep that was basically it but if you tell me specific unis i can see it i can help!!!

mine is in may actually, but i’m trying to make it an online interview because it’s during a-levels so it doesn’t really make sense💀

can you let me know if they allow you to do this because i don’t want to go to the interview either since its too close to exam times x

I’m applying for masters in social work , if you are doing A Levels then it must be BA social work - good luck with the interview - I will be mature student, mother of 4.
