BSc (Hons) Paramedic Science

Congratulations on being invited to interview and assessment.

What is the interview and assessment process?

  • Prior to interview you will be sent an ability assessment to check your suitability for the role. This is nothing to be concerned about, but rather a chance for us (and for you) to assess if Paramedic Science is a career in which you would thrive.
  • Offers will be based on overall score from interview.

About the interview

As a prospective future paramedic, your ability to present yourself in a professional manner will be assessed, along with other areas, such as your passion for the vocation, and awareness and knowledge of the role.

The course is very popular and fills quickly.

If you request an alternative interview date via the Applicant Hub, we will try to accommodate this, but it cannot be guaranteed due to the volume of applications we receive. If you are unable to attend on the specified date, and we’re unable to offer an alternative, your application will be withdrawn. Should you wish to cancel your interview, you can do so via the Applicant Hub.

What happens after my interview?

  • UCAS will update to show our decision (although we can’t confirm an exact timescale for this, we aim to have this with you as soon as possible).
  • If we make you an offer of a place, all of the conditions and details will be provided in the UCAS notification. UCAS will also confirm the date you must accept or decline the offer by.
  • If you are unsuccessful at interview and would like feedback, please email applicantsupport@ljmu.ac.uk.

We can only accept feedback requests via email.

Interview top tips from our Admissions Team

  • Don’t assume the interviewer has read your Personal Statement before your appointment; remember to mention important elements of it to help support your answers.

  • Learn about the role of the paramedic to illustrate your understanding of the profession.
  • Finally, approach your interview with confidence – you have worked hard to get to this point and done well to be selected for interview, so have confidence in yourself.

We look forward to meeting you.
