Admission Interview Guidance
Congratulations on gaining an interview for our BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy course. The information provided here will assist you in preparing for your interview and will give you an idea of what to expect on the day.
You have been selected for interview on the strength of your application. We feel you demonstrate a range of attributes and qualities that indicate you have the potential to succeed as a healthcare professional. The process requires you to attend a formal online interview so that we have a chance to consider your suitability for our course. You too must decide, based on your findings at interview, as to which university and course you think would best meet your needs as a learner. It is our aim to ensure that you leave us with sufficient knowledge to make an informed decision.
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.
There is nothing you need to prepare for your interview.
The interview is designed to identify those applicants who demonstrate the values that align with the NHS Constitution as well as those who evidence the right skills and aptitude in accordance with Values Based Recruitment. We will also use the interview as an opportunity to explore the detail of your personal statement.
If you are unable to make the date and time you are booked onto, we may be able to reschedule your session, however, as places are limited this may not always be possible. You should request a reschedule through your UCAS Hub Account and email us at ucasadmissions@leedsbeckett.ac.uk to request this, as soon as possible. Please ensure your email includes your UCAS Personal ID number as well as the title of the course you have applied for.
The date and start time of the selection session have been communicated to you via your UCAS Hub account.
You will receive an email at least 24 hours prior to the event with an MS Teams link to your interview.
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
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 immediately. All interviews are held during working hours, Monday to Friday.
The interview will take place via Microsoft Teams and will last approximately 20 minutes.
Please access the “room” 5 minutes before the start of your interview where you will be met by a member of the academic teaching team who will conduct your interview.
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’ll be notified of the outcome of your application through your UCAS Hub.
If you would like feedback following an unsuccessful decision, you should contact us at ucasadmissions@leedsbeckett.ac.uk to request this.
Should you wish to make us aware of any learning needs, or if you require reasonable adjustments to enable you to take part in the selection process, please email ucasadmissions@leedsbeckett.ac.uk as far in advance of your interview as possible.
You can apply to live in University accommodation from Spring 2026, as long as you have selected Leeds Beckett University as your firm choice. Further details about the accommodation the University has to offer and how to apply can be found on our website:
If you select Leeds Beckett University as your firm choice, 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. If your contact details change between now and May, please ensure your UCAS Hub account is updated.
Depending upon the conditions of your offer and the type of qualifications you are studying, your results may be sent directly to us between June and August. Alternatively, we may contact you directly to ask you to send us your results once you have received them. Once the results of your DBS check, health check and academic results have been received we will be able to consider making you an unconditional offer.
Your course will start on 21st September 2026. Induction information will be available from late summer via our online welcome website.
