Hi,
Sorry to hijack your thread, but there's a 99% chance I'll be applying this September 2012 to do the Primary PGCE for 2013 entry at Brighton, and I have some questions which I can't find the answer to on the Brighton University website.
a) What is the application/interview process? Is it a single or group interview? Do you have to do presentations?
b) It says something about 4 weeks work experience being necessary, but that you only have to complete 50% of the necessary...so two weeks? I plan to have at least 3 weeks, if not 4, but still, what's the official minimum?
c) Aimed at guys really, did you mention anything about being male on your statement? It says they welcome applications from males (and people from ethnic minorities, something else I satisfy)...is there anyway it can be slipped in to make them more likely to offer an interview... : S
d) Is it quite a hard place to get into? I know it's competitive everywhere, but is it Brighton particularly competitve? Won't change my putting it as my first choice, but it'd be good to know in any case.
Help on any of the above would be great!
