Admission Interview Guidance
Thank you for your interest in our BA Hons Childhood Development and Playwork. The information provided here will assist you in preparing for your interview and will give you an idea of what to expect.
Do remember that an interview is a two way process and that you should treat the interview as an opportunity to ask the course team questions.
Though there is no need to prepare any material before the day, you may want to watch this short video to gain an understanding of the course.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfhmcAX9g48The date and start time of the selection session have been agreed by you and confirmed via email.
Your interview will be held online using MS Teams. If you haven’t received the link prior to your interview, please check your spam/junk emails first and then contact us on 0113 8123113. Please check that your contact details, including telephone number, are correct on your application form.
Access to MS Teams will differ depending on the type of device you will be using. If you will be using a desktop computer or laptop to attend your interview, you should be able to attend simply by clicking on the link sent out via email. If you are using a smart phone or tablet you will need to download the free MS Teams app prior to your interview date before being able to access the given link. If you have a headset, we advise that it is used with the device you will be logging into the interview with.
You will be required to have your camera turned on during your interview, so please check this is working prior to your interview.
If there is a genuine reason why you are unable to attend at your allocated date/time please contact ucasadmissions@leedsbeckett.ac.uk and we will do our best to find an alternative date/time. However, due to high demand it may not be possible to reschedule your interview.
The session will start with a short presentation giving you information about the course and the kind of topics we cover and the varied roles and settings our students may chose to move into.
At the start of the interview you will need to show your interviewer a form of photographic ID, such as your passport, driving licence or school/college ID card. Please have your ID available and camera turned on at the start of the interview to avoid delays.
You will be notified of the outcome via email.
You can apply to live in University accommodation once you have a confirmed offer. Further details about the accommodation the University has to offer and how to apply can be found on our website:
We will send you further details in the summer about completing a DBS (formerly Criminal Record Bureau) enhanced check and the occupational health screening questionnaire. The health screening process will establish your immunisation status. Once you have started the course, you will receive any additional immunisations needed to comply with the requirements of healthcare professionals.
