University of Hull Nursing Interview Tips & Questions



​Key Information

Hull will typically look for BBC at A level, or a UCAS tariff of 112 points. You may have appropriate level three qualifications - like the BTEC Subsidiary Diploma - in place of A Levels. At GCSE, you must have English, Maths and a Science at grade C or above. Applicants that pass the academic checks will be invited to an interview day.

Hull bills itself as the right place to choose if you’re ‘passionate about making a difference to someone’s life.’ They have an award winning, £28m medical building that includes a simulated operating theatre, hospital ward, and ICU. This means that you will be able to experience realistic care environments from the outset of your course. 



​What do Hull Look for?

Hull emphasise that they don’t focus on theory. They instead focus heavily on practical skills, and practical learning - you should expect a lot of your teaching to come through exposure to simulated patients, simulated wards, and of course through clinical placements. This means that Hull is likely to be a better fit for you if you’re practically orientated, and unafraid of getting involved in group work, meeting patients from day one, and learning through activity. They are much less likely to be looking for those that are interested in research or the academic side of the profession.
 
Given that you will be able to care for a range of adults, of different ages and health needs, you should be confident in interacting with others, and a strong communicator.
 
Hull describe their graduates as ‘confident and compassionate’ health practitioners. Once again, one can understand from this that soft skills like communication, confidence and empathy are amongst the most important aspects of what Hull looks for in its Nursing students.

​What do previous students say?

Previous students explain that they had a great range of placements, which eaasily prepared them for the fast-paced and intense nature of a job in Nursing. They also outline that they picked up a great part of their knowledge on placement - perhaps to be expected given Hull’s focus on practical learning.

In terms of the interview day, you should expect an initial lecture or explanation of the course, and a chance to ask questions of staff and current students. Staff are friendly and encouraging. For the interview itself, prepare for a one on one format. Typically, your interviewer will be checking your motivation for nursing, dedication to nursing and to learning, and your ability to work in a team. You may be sent documents in advance - like the NMC Guidelines - which you should read thoroughly and reflect on beforehand. You should expect to discuss communication skills and empathy.
