Interview Skills Day (Dentistry)

Date: Tuesday 18th February 2020
Time: 10:00 - 15:30
Location: Conference Room, Alfred Denny Building, The University of Sheffield

In the morning you will receive useful and practical advice for your university interview. This session will be delivered by friendly staff, with support from current students studying in the health professions. In the afternoon, you will experience what it's like to attend an interview. Test out your skills and gain valuable feedback. Snacks and refreshments will be provided, but you will need to provide your own packed lunch.

This event is aimed at developing your interview skills. It does not form part of the formal selection process. We are unable to discuss the questions used at the actual interview (we do not know what the questions will be) nor can we discuss your application status.

To attend the interview skills day, pupils who have applied to study Dental Surgery at The University of Sheffield, and who meet one or more of the following criteria will be prioritised for participation;
 

• attend a state school
• are in the first generation of their family to enter higher education (it is acceptable to have siblings who have already progressed to HE, or parents who attended HE as a mature student);
• are from areas with low participation in higher education and the lowest socio-economic groups. (We will check this when you provide your postcode in the application form);
• are a looked after child and/or young carer;
