Hi @Ucheykingz

First of all, congratulations on securing an interview!

I've just started my master of social work at Kingston, and have therefore had an interview last year. Although I may not inform you of specific questions that may be asked in a Social Work interview or additional tasks, as it would not be fair to other students, I can say that common topics that come up in interviews for any university may be your reasons for choosing that specific course and university, your experience, and what you have to bring to the university/course.

A good way to go about any interview is by using the STAR method, to showcase your experience and skills:
Situation: what is a situation you had to deal with?
Task: what task were you given to do?
Action: what action did you take?
Result: what happened as a result of your action and what have you learned from the experience?

Another tip is to simply relax, be yourself, and be confident in your skills and experiences!

I hope this helps :smile:
