What happens at Swansea Paramedic Science selection day?

I've been invited to a selection day for Paramedic Science BSc at Swansea University. Can anyone who has done it recently share what to expect, what questions they ask, or tips for preparing? 😊

When did you submit your video? I submitted mine on 6th December and I’m still waiting to hear ☹️

Any advice submitting the video? Not given any guidance other than dress smart and needs to be 5 mins. Did you record as one or stop and start and then snip together, also did you have cue cards or a script to read from

Hello, I had this same issue. I e-mailed admissions and they responded too late so I ended up recording in one take, but they said you can edit it however you would like. I would recommend making some flashcards on some points you would like to bring up, learn the points and then make a script. Practise the script a few times and then try without it. They would prefer you didn't refer to any notes during the video but I'm sure putting some sticky notes on your screen wouldn't hurt. Also just to check, I was told 3 minutes not 5, are you sure that's the time limit? x

Thank you so much for the response. Yes 5 mins they have advised on the email (I’ve applied for occupational therapy, but its same process as the paramedic courses) also advised the selection day will be 17/2, if I get through this stage. I have emailed the admissions team but guessing they will be busy and may not get back to me. But this is great thanks again

No worries, good luck. I would recommend finding statistics on the course for example the percentage of students in work or futher education, the percentage that had positive experiences. I'd also recommend mentioning specific parts of modules and what you like about it. Basically, you want to stand out and show you've done your research. I'd also recommend researching the lecturers and finding out research they have done or experience they have and mention them by name.

Hello sorry for the late reply! I hope you've been given an offer by now, I submitted my video on the 9th of December and got an invite on the 17th. Hope this helps x

Hello,
Do you mean you got the invite on 17th December? I still haven’t heard anything so I assume this isn’t good news ☹️

Same!! Submitted on the 17th December and i’m still waiting and nothing!! So scary

Just wondering if anyone else has heard back at all?
Only submitted my video on the 17th but like rice crispy it's the only Uni that is a viable option for me so starting to panic ant not hearing back 😂

Wouldn’t worry at this stage. Mine was submitted early December and I’ve still not heard anything! Slightly nervous too though as a mature student, it’s the only uni I’m able to attend! And want to attend really. Fingers crossed we hear soon as the selection says are mid Feb! Good luck 🙂

I got my invite to selection day yesterday, fingers crossed you hear back soon!

Ahhh!! Still nothing my end!! Did u get an email or was it on the portal!
