Entry requirements

We would normally ask all applicants to have completed five GCSEs at grade C or above, including mathematics, English language or literature and a science subject or equivalent. A-level qualifications or equivalent.
A UK undergraduate honours degree at 2.2 or above, or an equivalent international qualification.
Degrees could include biological sciences, sport science, nursing, psychology, arts, business, sociology, healthcare, creative arts and drama. Other degrees will be considered on an individual basis. If the first degree is not in a relevant subject, the applicant should have completed a research project as part of the undergraduate degree.
Evidence of interest and preferably work experience in a relevant field.
Values-Based Interview
All applicants must complete a values-based interview as part of their application to the programme. Each of the questions asked in the interview relates to a particular domain/value. The domains are:
  • Your knowledge of the professional field for which you are applying.
  • Your personal qualities and suitability for the profession. To help with discussion around this domain, you may be asked to consider a scenario and asked questions about how you would respond to it.
  • Your understanding of and suitability for the course at the University of Roehampton.
Interviewers will also consider your understanding of the values that are required of a health and social care professional (Equality and Diversity, Teamwork, Compassion, Respect & Dignity, etc). This will also include your understanding of moral and ethical values, competence and self-awareness, among others. You won’t necessarily be asked specific questions about these areas, but the information you include in your answers to all questions will be considered when the interviewer(s) assess you. Values based recruitment is an approach which attracts and recruits applicants on the basis that their individual values and behaviours align with the values of the NHS Constitution.
