What do I need to prepare?

What do I need to do before my interview?

This year, our programmes are trialling an online assessment as part of the selection process.

All applicants are required to complete an online task concerning judgement in complex situations.  Please complete this test before your interview.

 

Accessing the test

You can access the test from this link.

When you open the link:

  • You will be asked for some biographical details.
  • You will then see a page of instructions which you should read carefully before you begin the test.

You can only access the link once, so please make sure you are ready before selecting it.

 

Completing the test

  • The test should take no more than 30 minutes to complete. Most applicants finish it in less time.
  • Complete the test on a PC with a stable internet connection (not on a touchscreen-only tablet or mobile phone).
  • Make sure that you take the test alone and that the answers you give are your own.

You cannot save the test partially completed and return later. Please ensure that:

  • you have enough time to complete the test in one sitting,
  • you work in a quiet environment, and
  • you switch off your phone and limit other distractions.

 

Important information

  • You must complete each question to go on to the next.
  • You cannot return to a question to change your answers after you have completed it.
  • You may take a short break while completing the test, but do not exit the website or your browser until finished.
  • Do not start the test and leave the webpage open for more than 30 minutes - the test may close and deny you access.

If you are unable to complete the test due to technical issues, please email  physiotherapyadmissions@uel.ac.uk.

What about fees and accommodation?

Fees and funding

This course is not funded by the NHS. Successful applicants are responsible for paying all tuition fees. 

Most students apply for a tuition fee loan from Student Finance England. If you have already studied at degree level, you are unlikely to receive any further loans from Student Finance England. 

For full details about eligibility and funding options, visit the government website.

Accommodation

UEL’s student accommodation is the Docklands Student Village, located at the Docklands Campus.

For information about eligibility and availability, visit the UEL accommodation webpage.

Can I visit UEL in person?

Yes. You can attend one of our Open Events. You will be able to meet staff and students, explore our facilities and accommodation and find out what it’s really like to study at the University of East London.

All of our events will take place on campus. You can book one of our open days now.
