Interview information for nursing

Our selection days are designed to be a positive and informative experience. They give you the opportunity to visit the department, meet our staff and current students, and demonstrate your motivation and potential for a career in nursing. Interviews take place in person and you will be invited to attend either a morning or an afternoon session. Online interviews can also be offered by individual slots.

What to expect

Here are some key things to know about what you'll need to bring and what to expect on the day:

  • Please remember to bring official photo ID with you and your UCAS number.
  • The in-person nursing interviews will start with a short presentation and an outline of how the day will work.
  • There will be multiple mini interviews and a group activity with a chance to look around and meet current students and staff.
  • You may use your mobile phone in the group activity (this is not graded, it is an opportunity for you to interact with others).
  • You will also spend some time in our Clinical Simulation Unit (CSU), where you will have the chance to chat with current students.
  • We may have some final year students, practitioners and service users involved in interviews. Please be assured no one is privy to any confidential information and you do not need to declare this to anyone at this stage.
  • We want you to feel welcome, to relax and enjoy the day as much as you can. 

If you cannot attend

If you cannot attend please let us know as soon as possible. We can then offer you another interview and offer your original place to another applicant. If you do not attend or contact us, we will assume that you are no longer interested in a place at the University of York.
