Interview Skills for University Nursing Programme Applicants
Hone your interview skills with the University of East Anglia
Every year, 20,000 aspiring nurses don’t win a place at university and 3,000 previous nursing applicants reapply. These statistics from UCAS demonstrate both the high demand for Nursing programmes and the importance of nailing your application the first time around.
Part of the admissions process for a Nursing course is completing an interview. To help you successfully prepare for yours, this one-week course from the University of East Anglia will arm you with key interview skills and techniques.
Whatever Nursing degree or programme you are applying to, you’ll boost your chances of being offered a place.

Discover common Nursing interview questions
Guided by academics and clinicians who regularly interview applicants for Nursing courses, you’ll explore what qualities they’re looking for in a candidate and how you can demonstrate these attributes in your interview.
