Hints and Tips

  • Give yourself time to complete the application form.
  • Your application is our first impression of you so make sure you answer all questions fully.
  • We do not necessarily expect you to have experience of working in a professional services environment, we'll give you that experience during the scheme. Do remember to include the skills and knowledge you have gained through your hobbies and interests too
  • Use this process to demonstrate your knowledge of Higher Education, the University of Warwick, our strategy and our values.
  • For our assessment centre and interview stages, consider in advance why this scheme is right for you and why you are right for us, be prepared to give us examples of your achievements to date and remember that we’re looking to see how well you can interact with others too.
  • Most importantly, be yourself. It’s the real you that we’d like to get to know.


The Process:

Stage 1: Application Form

We’ll ask you for some information about you,as well as asking you to tell us how you would manage a scenario. We use blind shortlisting which means our shortlisting panel cannot see any equality and diversity data, this is used for monitoring purposes only.

Shortlisted applications will then be asked to complete a case study task.

Stage 2: Assessment Centre

The online assessment centre will give you an opportunity to show us your potential. It also gives us a chance to get to know you better and for you to find out more about us. This will include a group exercise and a presentation task.

Stage 3: Interview

This final stage of the interview process is an in-person panel interview. This stage gives us an opportunity to understand your strengths, aspirations and how you might manage different situations.
