Interview at Swansea tomorrow

I have had an interview at Swansea. they were lovely, and made all there really relaxed.
In the morning we had a little presentation, then the maths test. Yo must pass this at 60% so make sure you get 12 out of the 20 correct(do the ones you can do first as you are timed) and then do the harder ones. I didnt find them that hard though!
Then an essay question - there was a choice of four for me. If I remember rightly they were(but dont quote me)-

The benefits of breastfeeding?
The fathers role
What skills do you have that apply to midwifery?
and i cant remember the last one.... sorry!

The interview was well relaxed and they were really nice!
Just make sure you ask questions at the end or intiate a chat regarding a topic of interest to you - always looks good and shows you're interested and keen.
Good luck and let me know how it goes

Hi i had an interview in swansea on the 14th of feb, am still waiting to hear...The interview was really relaxed dont worry about it we started at 9.30 and i was out before 1. 10 min maths test then 15 min written piece on a choice of 5 topics, fatherhood, breastfeeding...cant remember the others sorry (i did fatherhood), then there were three pairs of interviewers calling us in one by one. you are best parking in the recreation carpark on oystermouth rd (the same road as the uni) just before if you are coming via town center i.e. past tesco's its 1.50 for the day and a 5 min walk to the uni, doubtful u will be able to park in the uni. Good Luck let us know how it goes x

I had an interview with Swansea in February everyone was lovely. I remember there being a few different essay titles but I have to be honest I can only remember the one titled 'working mothers' coz that's the one I wrote about.

They asked me questions such as:-
The role of a Midwife
What skills do I have to offer
Why Swansea Uni
Articles that I have read
How would I cope with awkward or difficult family members
How I would react if the labour didn't go as planned
I think that's it, hope it helps good luck xx

ok hun, how did it go???
I'm sure you did wonerfully and hope you are celebrating!!
xxx

How did it all go?? good luck xx
