Applicant profile

You are an ideal applicant if you are fascinated by people and are willing to develop your own skills so that you can develop relationships with people in distress or in need of support.

We welcome applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds – from school leavers to those seeking a career change. Everyone applying for the course needs to complete a telephone interview before an offer can be confirmed.

We positively welcome applications from students who may not meet the stated entry criteria but who can demonstrate their ability to successfully pursue a programme of study in higher education. Students who do not have formal entry qualifications are required to sit a written assessment which is designed for this purpose. Support in preparing for the written assessment is available from the University. Please contact Gill Colgan the Director of Admissions for further information.
