You should be prepared to discuss how your relevant experience can assist you with the course in respect of transferable knowledge and skills – and also explore your understanding of research methods and statistics based on what you were taught as part of your undergraduate degree. Plus your research project, how this was undertaken, outcomes, and what you learnt. You don't need any equipment.
There will be two interviewers. The first part of the interview provides information on the course – modules, assessment methods, course tutors and your interests. This stage of the interview will explore your interest in the course and any relevant experience/transferable knowledge or skills. The second part of the interview explores research methods and statistics and indicates what is required at Level 7.
The purpose of the interview is to provide knowledge of the course, discuss course content, confirm suitability for the course, discuss study options (FT/PT), and ensure preparedness for the course. It also ensures that the applicant can ask any questions they have about the course. Previous students have told us they found the interview process useful in understanding the demands of the course. The best prepared candidates are able to discuss their dissertation and the research methods content of their undergraduate degree. This can require some preparation, particularly if the applicant has had a break in their studies.
The MSc Counselling (Children & Young People) is an intensive professional course that will require a high level of personal maturity, commitment, dedication and a willingness for self- exploration. The interview aims to provide an opportunity for course staff to determine the suitability of applicants based on the criterial and process detailed below, and also for you to assess BCU and the course team and to decide whether the course will be suitable for you.
The interviews typically last all day. The morning will consist of a group interview, followed by a short break. You will then have a short individual interview.
We think it is important that you feel you can tell us about any disability you may have. We regard disclosure of a disability as a positive thing because once we are aware of your disability we can then try to support your individual needs. If you have not made us aware of your disability or you feel you may have a disability please contact the Disability Support Team on disability@bcu.ac.uk. If you have any reasonable adjustments for your interview please let us know as soon as possible.
