## Interviews

### Our interview process and what we look for in candidates.

Our admissions team carries out the pre-interview screening process, which ensures that all candidates called to interview appear to have sufficient academic potential.

The purpose of the interview is to take a wider view of applicants and see if you satisfy our non-academic criteria in terms of the values and behaviours expected of a dental hygiene and therapy student.

Interviews normally run from February to April.
