FAQs

What should I wear?

You should wear smart clothes, However, Midwifery applicants will be involved in a group excercise and it may be beneficial to wear trousers.

Is there anything I need to bring?

Please bring along some form of photographic ID, i.e. passport, driving licence.

How soon will I hear if I have a place?

You will hear the result of your interview once all applicants have been interviewed. This should be no later than the end of April 2012.
