Once you have applied for one of our Physiotherapy courses* and have been shortlisted, you will be invited for an interview. 

Interviews will be On-Campus for those wishing to start in September 2023.

What should you expect?  

  • You will be asked to access the 'NHS Long Term Plan – A Summary' to read in readiness for your interview.
  • The interview will last around 20-30 minutes and will be with a member of the academic teaching staff from the Physiotherapy team. 
  • At the start of the interview day, you must show a form of picture ID as proof of who the interviewer is talking to. Acceptable documents include a passport, driving license, college ID badge, etc. (please note we do not accept copies).

  • Ensure you have read all the guidance sent to you, have you been requested to bring any additional information with you? (ID etc.)
