Telephone interviews are required for the following courses:
- Healthcare Science BSc
- Occupational Therapy BSc, MSc
- Paramedic Science BSc
If we offer you a telephone interview, you will be asked to accept your invitation before we schedule a date and time range for your interview.
You will be called by one of our experienced senior course academics for the course you applied for.
Unfortunately, because of the large number of applicants and the fast-moving nature of Clearing, we won’t necessarily be able to give you a precise time when you will be called. Telephone interviews will be conducted from 9am to 8pm.
Preparing for a telephone interview
Before your interview, check your phone number is correct on UCAS track.
On the day of your interview, make sure your telephone is fully charged and able to receive calls from private phone numbers, and ensure you have a quiet room in which you can have your telephone interview. You may wish to also have some water in case you need it.
Interviews for the following courses will be done in the remote multiple mini interview (RMMI) format:
- Diagnostic Radiography BSc
- MBBS
- Physician Associate Studies MPAS
- Physiotherapy BSc and MSc
- Radiotherapy and Oncology BSc
MMIs are normally conducted in person as applicants are assessed by up to 6 different assessors, with one assessor scoring one question. We have now developed a way of running MMIs remotely emulating the in-person format. This reduces delays in interviewing over the Clearing period, and you can conduct your interview from the comfort of your own home.
Preparing for an MMI
You will need a device such as a computer or laptop that has internet access and the ability to record video and sound. For the best interview experience, pleae do not use a Chromebook, tablet or mobile device to record your interview. Please only use the following web browsers; Google chrome, Firefox or Opera. Before your interview, make sure you have access to this technology; you might need to arrange to use the facilities at your school or at a friend's house if you do not have access to this at home.
On the day you interview, you will receive full instructions on how to complete a remote MMI. You should ensure that you have a quiet room in which you can record your remote MMI, and you may wish to dress appropriately for an interview. You may wish to also have some water in case you need it.
