Social Work Interview help

So, I recently had my Keele University Interview about a week ago and I ended up getting rejected. I was surprised especially since they have an 80% acceptance rate but when I checked the reasoning on UCAS, it said that I was unsuccessful at the interview which I understand because I felt quite underprepared for it + I felt like I was waffling the whole time especially since I had resit exams to focus on that same week too. Can anyone tell me how to prepare for social work interviews for Lancaster and York?

Hi,

Unfortunately I do not study Social Work but I hope I can point you in the right direction for some help.

Firstly, I don't know what they can and can't advise in terms of interview but maybe email the department and explain that you were unsuccessful at interview for Keele so wondered if there was any advice or support they can offer you or at least give you a run through of how the day will go to give you some confidence. The email address is: [email protected]

Here are some links from previous TSR threads about interviews for Social Work at Lancaster:
