Log in
First, you need to log in to our student applicant portal.
Your username is your student ID and your initial password is your date of birth in the format DDMMYYYY.
Select the ‘my application’ tab and then select the button labelled ‘book interview’ and then chose your preferred date and time.
If you have completed your qualifications, we will need to verify these before any offer can be made following a successful interview outcome.
Please log on to your applicant portal and select the ‘My application’ tab.
If we need documents from you then there will be a button which is labelled ‘Documents – action required’ – please select this button.
There will be a list of documents that we need. If the status is ‘accepted’ it means we have already verified the qualification. If the status is ‘required’ it means we need you to upload the relevant document. You can do this by selecting the button labelled ‘upload’.
Please ensure you:
- rename the document so that it explains what it is; for example, if the document is a copy of your UK passport please ensure the filename is ‘UK passport’
- only upload one copy of each document.
Please note: If the document you need to upload is made up of multiple pages please send this to the admissions team using WeTransfer instead. Please ensure you quote your student ID. The team will be able to combine your pages into one document which will make it easier for us to review.
Please note that interviews will be held online via Zoom. They will take around 25 minutes, and you will be interviewed by a member of the academic team.
You will be asked five questions to assess your understanding and knowledge of occupational therapy, your previous experience relating to occupational therapy, and your plans and preparations for undertaking the MSc Occupational Therapy course.
You will also have to complete a written task based on one of the NHS core values, which will take around 30 minutes, and for this aspect you will need a laptop or computer.
Please note: for your interview you will need a device with a camera and microphone and please ensure it is fully charged.
You will be sent an email from the occupational therapy programme team with details of the Zoom meeting code prior to the interview date.
If you have not received this by the day before your interview please contact Keehean.lim@stmarys.ac.uk
If you require any adjustments for interview, please email diagnostic or medical evidence of this to wellbeing@stmarys.ac.uk with information about your interview and any required adjustments.
