Hi, my name is David Barrett, Deputy Head of Department (Teaching) here at the University of York. Congratulations on being invited for an interview with us! We have designed this website to help you get the best out of your interview experience and find out more about what we have to offer at York.
At York, we firmly believe that this is a two way selection process: you are making an important choice about where to study for your degree, and we’re passionate about sharing some of the distinctive things about the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York that can help inform your choice.
Our department is one of the most highly regarded centres for nursing and midwifery education in the UK. In the 2024 Guardian University league tables, we ranked 7th for Mental Health, 5th for Children's nursing, 9th for Adult and 12th Midwifery. The Department is also renowned for its cutting edge research into health and wellbeing.
With an equal balance of theory and clinical learning throughout your course, you’ll be supported to develop the skills and knowledge required by expert, caring and evidence-based practitioners. You’ll benefit from a combination of personal tutor support, practice supervisor guidance in your clinical placements, and exceptional on-campus teaching facilities to help you get the very best out of your time in York. We are passionate about ensuring that you enjoy all the benefits of being a student at one of the world’s premier Universities.
We are proud to be large enough to be considered a leading healthcare education provider whilst small enough to ensure that you can develop close relationships not only with each other, but also individual lecturers and programme leaders.
Whether you are studying nursing or midwifery, a degree from the University of York opens the door to countless opportunities. Your interview with us is one of the first steps on your journey to becoming a registered professional, and we look forward to meeting you soon.
