Interview guidance
When applying to many of our Health and Education courses, you will be asked to attend an interview which may be online or in-person. This is an opportunity to show us who you are and why you’re passionate about helping others.
Interviews are arranged through BCU's applicant portal MySRS. To navigate and organise your interview, you can use our handy MySRS guide.
What to prepare for your interview
-
Observe the world around you
What stories and events are currently impacting your chosen profession? What’s your opinion on the latest news in your field?
-
Research and understand the role
Have a clear view of why you want to work in your chosen profession. Do you know what the expectations are? What values and skills do you have that are necessary for the role?
-
Have your documents ready
If you need to show any documents, they will be listed in your email from admissions. Make sure you have them to hand and familiarise yourself again with your all-important personal statement!
-
Plan some questions to ask
Remember this is your chance to find out about us too – so talk to us when you get the chance!
-
What are you going to wear?
Try to dress smartly. We want to see that you appreciate and respect that you’ll have to adhere to a dress code both on placement and once you enter the workplace as a qualified professional.
-
Work experience
If you have time, try to get some hands-on experience and talk about what you learned in your interview; nothing beats exposure to a real environment.
