All applicants will need a satisfactory educational reference.
Applicants who meet the entry requirements and selection criteria will be invited to interview, which may take place in person or via telephone/video call. Our Interview Tips explain more about what to expect.
If you are successful at interview, any offer of a place will be conditional upon a satisfactory DBS/police check or equivalent from your home country as well as an occupational health declaration and assessment prior to starting your studies. Further details will be provided if you receive an offer.
If you are offered a place you will also need:
- A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, or approved equivalent
- An Occupational Health Check
You should also familiarise yourself with the NHS Wales Values and Standards of Behaviour.
All applicants will be required to have a satisfactory enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) check and occupational health check. Any concerns arising from these may be considered at the School of Health and Social Care’s Professional Suitability and Fitness to Practise Panel and may result in admission to the programme being withdrawn.
