Admission Interview Guidance

This process is being used for recruiting students to all health professional courses in England to ensure that we recruit the students with the right values to support effective team working in delivering excellent patient care and experience. You will be able to find out more about this by researching and reading the NHS Constitution: https://www.hee.nhs.uk/about-2/work-us/hee-applicant-guide/making-successful-application/values-based-recruitment.

• Interview questions link to the principles and values of the NHS Constitution. We use scenarios and questions to understand how you have managed certain situations in your past or what you would do in a specific circumstance.
• We will also ask you about your understanding of the philosophy, practice and scope of occupational therapy.
• We can also discuss any aspects of the course which you may have questions about.

The date and start time of the selection session have been communicated to you via your UCAS Hub account. 

At least two days prior to your interview date you will receive an email which will include a Microsoft Teams link for your individual interview time and a second link for the group task.

The group task is scheduled at the end of the morning or afternoon of interviews. The interview panel includes occupational therapy lecturers, occupational therapy clinicians who regularly have Leeds Beckett students on placement and members of our service user and carer group.

 You do not need to download Microsoft Teams if you will be using a PC or laptop, as you will be able to join as a guest from the link. For other devices, you may need to download MS Teams. You will need access to the internet and a camera and microphone on your computer. You will be required to have your camera turned on during your interview, so please check this is working prior to your interview.

If you think that it is not going to be possible for you to attend an online interview, it is very important that you let us know. All interviews are held during working hours, Monday to Friday.

Your interview will be held online using MS Teams. If you haven’t received this, please check your spam/junk emails first and then contact us on 0113 812 5946. Please check that your contact details, including telephone number, are correct on your application form.

If you will be accessing Microsoft Teams from a different email address to that on your UCAS application, please let us know as soon as possible at UCASAdmissions@leedsbeckett.ac.uk
