The interviews form part of values-based recruitment, which assesses an applicant’s values and behaviours with the values of the .
Applicants who are successful in the initial stages of the selection process will be invited to interview.
Interviews can be in a number of formats:
- Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs)
- Group interviews
- One-to-one interviews
- In-person interviews
- Online interviews (via Zoom, Teams or other online software)
In some cases, legal or regulatory requirements may determine the interview format used.
Details of the interview can be found on and will be communicated to shortlisted applicants in their invitation to interview.
Some applicants (for example, disabled applicants, applicants who are pregnant etc.) may require adjustments during the interview process (for example, a sign-language interpreter) to ensure they are provided with full and equal access. To ensure the Admissions team can make reasonable adjustments where needed and possible, applicants must follow the guidance in the invitation to interview. Please note declarations of the need for adjustments cannot be considered after the interviews have taken place.
Email the University’s Disability Services team via disability@leeds.ac.uk for further advice or information regarding disability-related adjustments. Email the Equality and Inclusion Unit via equality@leeds.ac.uk for advice on other adjustments.
Where possible, the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences will accommodate requests for alternative interview dates; however, an alternative cannot be guaranteed and may not be offered if the applicant fails to attend an interview without informing the University in advance.
