Meeting our applicants is one of the best parts of our jobs as admissions tutors in the School of Health and Society. During this academic year we are running both face to face and online interviews or assessments depending on the course for which you have applied and we're looking forward to meeting you, whether physically or virtually.
To find out what you need to do, we have put together some course specific guidance below as well as some useful FAQs to help you take the next steps in your application process.
BSc (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy (Professional Practice) (B9C8)
What do I need to do?
Attend an online interview using our virtual classroom ‘Collaborate’.
How do I access my interview?
You can access your interview from the link on the email that we have sent you. The date and time of your interview are also included on this email. We will send this to you again a couple of days before your interview as a reminder.
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. We would recommend reading through your supporting statement that was submitted with your application.
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.

My interview is online, how do I use Collaborate?
If you have never used Collaborate before this is not a problem, we have prepared a tutorial video which will help you to use Collaborate.
I can't attend my interview/I can't complete my assessment on that day, what should I do?

What happens if I am unsuccessful?
The University has a range of Foundation Year programmes available and if your interview or assessment score falls below the standard that we are looking for then we will look to see if we can offer you a Foundation Year. The decision will be updated on UCAS.
I've been made an alternative offer for a course I did not apply for, why?
You may find that you have been selected for an alternative course following your application, or upon reviewing your interview/ assessment score. Our Health programmes are competitive courses to gain entry on to and on this occasion your application was assessed as more suitable for the alternate course offered.
If you would like to find out more information about this alternative course, please contact enquiries@salford.ac.uk quoting your UCAS ID number and date of birth, and we can put you in touch with the course tutor.
Please also contact us if you do not wish to continue with your application.
What should I do if I have any technical difficulties?
Using Google Chrome, click on the link for the session and this will open in a new tab.
When you join your first session, you’ll be asked to add your name and that’s all you need to do. You may also see a microphone and camera test pop up the first time you open a session – please complete the set up as you may be asked to use your camera and microphone in your interview. When prompted, please ensure you allow Collaborate to access these or you may not be able to hear the presentation.
If you experience audio problems when you enter any of the sessions, you can also dial into the session using your mobile phone. To do this, please click on the menu button in the top left-hand corner and select 'use your phone for audio'. This will provide you with a unique phone number and pin that will allow you to dial into the session
If your technical problems still persist, please contact enquiries@salford.ac.uk quoting your UCAS ID number and date of birth.
