We will be making the session live for your interview 15 minutes before it is scheduled, so you can check your access and make sure everything is working in order. If you try to access the interview any time earlier than this, the page may not appear

What do I need to have ready for my online interview? 

You don’t need to prepare any additional work for your interview, but we would recommend reading through the information about the programme on the University website, and your supporting statement that was submitted with your application. We have put together a video with helpful tips on how to prepare for your online interview.

What will happen at my interview?

The interview will take approximately 20-30 minutes. The focus of the interview is on your interest in training as a professional counsellor at the University of Salford, your experience of helping people and your reflections on your own process of personal development. It is therefore not an interview about your academic knowledge but rather focuses on the experience you will be bringing to counselling training.

What happens after I have completed my interview?

As soon as a decision is available, we will contact you via email. This may take up to four weeks depending on your interview date. Please note, all our offers are conditional on the outcome of an extended DBS checking process that we organise once students have enrolled in September. If you are aware of any issues that would arise in undertaking a DBS check, it is helpful to discuss these during your interview as this can avoid delays closer to the start date for the course. DBS check offers will be conditional upon our receipt of:

• Satisfactory health screening
• Satisfactory references (if not provided before your interview)
• Successful completion and proof of the required entry qualifications

We think it is important that you get an authentic experience of what studying occupational therapy would be like at the University of Salford so that you can make an informed decision about joining us.

Over the course of the day, there will be a series of activities and simulations that you will participate in as part of your interview. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the programme and find out a little more about what you would be prospectively studying with us.

Simulation involves immersing ourselves in the world of a simulated service user (and other people such as their family members, other professionals etc.). We will ask you to do this by using techniques such as role play, observation, watching video clips and visiting the simulation suite, all with the aim of informing a group discussion about what you have seen.
