Your answers about:

must be consistent with your CV, because the university interviewer will almost certainly ask questions about them. If something in your answers is different from your CV, it can create confusion and negatively affect the outcome of your interview. Universities enjoy consistency checks almost as much as airports enjoy removing water bottles from innocent people.
Do not invent experience or exaggerate responsibilities. Speak naturally and confidently about the experience you genuinely have and explain clearly how it relates to the course you are applying for.
- Crucial: You must show them that you are a motivated student. If they see that you are not committed to the course in full, they will reject your candidature. This is why we are recommending being calm during an interview dont tell them about any problems in your life with mental health, etc. This can cause problems. Better to be calm at the interview and follow your CV and our steps. This is very important in case if you want to pass 1000%

How will studying Health and Social Care help you in your career, and what are your plans?
For example, you can use it in future, just change some things.
With a background in support work, childcare, and customer service, I have developed strong interpersonal and communication skills that are essential in the health and social care field. Applying for the Higher Education Diploma with Foundation Year in Health and Social Care is the next step in building a meaningful career where I can make a real difference in people’s lives.
My experience as a support worker with Midco Care and PS Recruitment has shaped my understanding of what it takes to provide quality care. I have worked with clients suffering from dementia and mental health conditions, often in challenging environments. These roles have taught me patience, empathy, resilience, and the importance of safeguarding. Each client interaction has strengthened my commitment to a career that puts people first and supports those in need.
This course will enable me to deepen my knowledge of healthcare systems, social care practices, and mental health awareness. I’m particularly interested in learning more about ethical practice, health legislation, and how to deliver personalised care. The foundation year will help me refresh my academic skills and build confidence for the higher-level study that follows.
My long-term goal is to work within the NHS or a care organisation, specialising in adult or mental health support. Eventually, I would like to become a registered care coordinator or pursue further studies in nursing or social work. I believe this course will give me both the academic foundation and practical knowledge to reach these goals.
What sets me apart is my adaptability and ability to work well with people from diverse backgrounds. I bring energy, compassion, and dedication to every role I take on. Studying Health and Social Care will help me formalise my experience, gain recognised qualifications, and grow into a role where I can continue supporting and empowering others professionally.
If you really want to pass, we recommend that you write this text 2-3 times on paper in order to memorise the text, because on campus at the interview, you will have to do the same thing. On campus, you will have to write it down on paper.
