We will offer a choice of three dates for you to select the most suitable. To choose your date please log on to Applicant Portal.  If later it appears that you are unable to attend on the day please let us know as far in advance as possible. We will try to offer an alternative but please be aware, owing to the large number of applications we receive, this may not always be possible.

We value meeting our interviewees in person and are unable to offer online interviews except in very exceptional circumstances (such as you living abroad). 

Please come prepared to talk about yourself, why you are interested in this particular course and specifically what makes you a good candidate to study with us. Please also think about any questions you would like to ask us. You are not required to bring anything in addition.

All interviews take place at the School of Psychology on the Stratford University of East London campus. The address is:

The University of East London
School of Psychology – Arthur Edwards Building
Stratford Campus
Water Lane
E15 4LZ

On arrival, you should report to the main entrance reception desk in the Conference and Computing Centre and you will be collected from here by a staff member. Directions to the University can be found here: How to find us
 

The interview will be a chance for us to find out more about you and vice versa.

The first part of the interview process will be a group Q&A with academic tutors for you to ask any further information you would like to know about the programme. Following the group session, there will be two short interviews (about 15min each), where you will be seen individually by two members of staff from the programme. 

During your individual interview, we would like to see you at your best, so the questions will focus on your strengths, current understanding of the course subject matter and relevant experiences.

Have a look at the University of East London website to find out more about this specific programme. Another useful website which gives you information about counselling training is that of our accrediting body: British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

You will have to be able to meet us between 1.30 and 3pm on a Wednesday or Friday.

You will be interviewed by teaching staff from the programme.

Everyone interviewed will hear the results at the same time. We wait until we have assessed all candidates and then allocate places. We hope to let applicants know in March 2020.

If you have any special access or communication requirements for your visit, please email pgadmiss@uel.ac.uk prior to your visit. 

We look forward to meeting you.
