Update to Selection process in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The health and wellbeing of our prospective students, current students and staff remains our top priority. As a result of the evolving situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, our upcoming on-campus Selection Days for 2021 entry will be replaced with telephone interviews.

The telephone interview is used to assess your suitability for the course and to ensure that as well as meeting the necessary academic and skills requirements, your values also match those of the NHS. Shortlisted applicants will receive more details from our School of Health Sciences Admission Team.

All applicants to these courses must go through the selection process before an offer to study can be made. What happens during the selection process will vary depending on the course that you have applied for.

Please browse the tabs below for information about the selection process for your course and advice and guidance on how to prepare for the selection process. We strongly advise all applicants to prepare for the selection process.

BSc Midwifery

Selection Day

If your application meets our entry criteria for the course you will be invited to attend a Selection Day held at City, University of London.

The Selection Day is used to assess your suitability for the course and to ensure that as well as meeting the necessary academic and skills requirements, your values also match those of the NHS.

During the Selection Day you will also be given an opportunity to look around the University including our specialist clinical skills labs, meet our staff and students, and find out more about the course and the hospitals which provide clinical placements for our students.

Introduction to Midwifery at City – Presentation

Midwifery provides great career opportunities, which is probably one reason why you have applied for the course. In order to help you decide on whether this is the right career choice and institution for you, we will provide you with an overview of the course at City including our facilities and placements. There will also be opportunities to ask our staff and students any questions after the presentation.

Group Activity

Group discussions are timed exercises where a group of participants work together to respond to a work-related question. Assessors observe individual communication skills and group interaction throughout the exercise and are looking to see evidence that you are able to work effectively as part of a team.

How successful you are at this will depend on how effectively you are able to put across your point of view, listen to others views, challenge where appropriate and demonstrate that you have understood the information you were presented with.

Care Scenarios

This will be a hand written exercise where you’ll be presented with some scenarios and asked to explain how you would respond to these situations.

Campus Tour

A School of Health Sciences campus tour will take you to see both City's facilities such as the Student Centre and Library and the School's specialist facilities including the Clinical Skills Centre.

The Clinical Skills Centre provides students with state-of-the-art laboratories so you can rehearse practical caring skills prior to practice placements. This also provides an opportunity to talk to current students about their experiences.

Qualifications and Residency Checks

During the Selection Day you will be required to confirm your current academic qualifications and your eligibility to study in the UK. The Qualifications and Residency Check list details the documents you will need to bring on the selection day.

Please note, if you have taken an Access qualification and your results are pending we require evidence of academic performance to date on your course, this can be an interim transcript or letter from the college, it must also include information on all units completed and marks/grades achieved.

Top tips for the Selection Day

It's worth noting that a lot of the communication we do is non-verbal. For example this could be the way we stand or sit, move our limbs, nod our head, provide eye-contact.

On the Selection Day, non-verbal displays are most likely to be picked up on in group exercises. It is also important to think about the signals given by others; these are also cues to pick up on.

Also remember to:

  • Listen carefully to all instructions
  • Double-check if you are uncertain about what you are required to do - don't be afraid to ask questions
  • Be alert and aware throughout the Selection Day - concentrate, stay calm but focused
  • Do not make assumptions about the way to respond - if you try to guess what the "answers" might be, or what the assessor is looking for, you may be wrong - it is always best to be honest and be yourself!
  • Work quickly but accurately through the care scenarios - don't spend too long on any one question
  • Come prepared; read all the information you have been sent carefully before your Selection Day.
  • You can prepare for your interview by reading around the subject area, and gaining insight and experience by volunteering in a care environment, for example within a care home or hospital.

One of our current BSc Midwifery students, Katie Phillips, explains what happens at a Midwifery Selected Day and offers some advice:

"Here at City on a Selection Day you’ll be introduced to the course by a current lecturer and they can answer any questions you may have. You are required to complete a written exercise where you are asked how you would respond to different care scenarios, the admissions team will then look over your answers and see if you display the kind of attitude and character to become a student midwife on the course.

Finally you’ll have a group activity to complete in small groups and this changes every year but is a good way for the admissions/lecturers to see how you communicate in a group and your thoughts on the topic covered.

My top tips for the selection day are not to be late and it's okay to be nervous! Prepare by doing the simple things like having enough sleep, and checking your journey on how to get here.

A good tip is to really understand why you want to become a midwife and complete the course on a personal level and carry that with you throughout the day as motivation and confidence. My last tip is to talk to the people next to you, they are just as anxious as you and they may one day be with you on the course sat next to you in a lecture."

During the Selection Day you will be required to confirm your current academic qualifications and your eligibility to study in the UK. The Qualifications and Residency Check list details the documents you will need to bring on the selection day.

Please note, if you have taken an Access qualification and your results are pending we require evidence of academic performance to date on your course, this can be an interim transcript or letter from the college, it must also include information on all units completed and marks/grades achieved.

Top tips for the Selection Day

It's worth noting that a lot of the communication we do is non-verbal.

For example this could be the way we stand or sit, move our limbs, nod our head, provide eye-contact. On the Selection Day, non-verbal displays are most likely to be picked up on in group exercises. It is also important to think about the signals given by others; these are also cues to pick up on.

Also remember to:

  • Listen carefully to all instructions
  • Double-check if you are uncertain about what you are required to do - don't be afraid to ask questions
  • Be alert and aware throughout the Selection Day - concentrate, stay calm but focused
  • Do not make assumptions about the way to respond - if you try to guess what the "answers" might be, or what the assessor is looking for, you may be wrong - it is always best to be honest and be yourself!
  • Work quickly but accurately through the care scenarios - don't spend too long on any one question
  • Come prepared; read all the information you have been sent carefully before your Selection Day.
  • You can prepare for your interview by reading around the subject area, and gaining insight and experience by volunteering in a care environment, for example within a care home or hospital.

Interview

An interview will form part of the Selection Day. Structured interviews will focus on particular skills, or on how you approach specific problems to assess your suitability for the course.

The interview will also look to assess how you meet the NHS Constitution Values by asking questions that directly relate to the six values, which are:

  • Respect and Dignity – the feelings, wishes, and rights of patients must always be taken into account. It is important prospective applicants are able to demonstrate dignity and respect towards patients as the profession revolves around patient contact.
  • Commitment to Quality of Care – patients are always at the forefront of healthcare and as such should receive and experience care that is of the highest standard possible. It is a requirement for prospective applicants to put others’ first whilst offering a standard of care that they would expect either themselves or family members to receive.
  • Compassion – radiographers come into contact with a variety of patients some of which may be unwell, in pain, or even vulnerable. It is essential for prospective applicants to demonstrate humility, a sense of awareness of an individuals’ suffering, and a desire to help those who are unwell, in pain, or even vulnerable.
  • Improving Lives – healthcare aims to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease, illness, or physiological impairment. Therefore it is important that prospective applicants have the willingness and desire to make a positive impact in regard to someone’s health or life.
  • Working together for patients – radiographers work with a variety of healthcare professionals to diagnose, treat, and manage illness and disease. Therefore prospective applicants need to be able to demonstrate clear and concise communication along with the ability to work in a team.
  • Everyone Counts – all healthcare professionals must be committed to improving outcomes for patients by improving quality and offering patients choices about their care. Subsequently prospective applicants must be able to demonstrate a desire to put the patient first and take into consideration their preferences in regard to care.
