You will need to demonstrate that you have researched the nature of the work carefully and understand the role of Careers Advisers and Careers Services well. The course tutor will look at your potential to succeed on a postgraduate course in the light of your academic achievements to date. Both interviewers will be looking at your ability to listen and understand questions and to communicate clearly and logically. We will be assessing your level of motivation and the degree to which you have thought through this career decision. There is no single pattern of previous experience that we look for.
Successful candidates have a wide range of academic and work experience.
However it must be stressed that none of these is essential. We consider candidates on their merits and accept applications from adults of any age. You do not have to have worked in paid employment. Many of our successful candidates have applied whilst in their final year of undergraduate study. Most students have to raise the cost via a Career Development Loan.
