My Northumbria one is the 17th. A week tomorrow! Do you have one?

hello
my northumbria interview is on the 19th january whens yours?
where did it say that on the email? or in a letter?
so we definately dont have to take anything with us as a presentation ? im freaking out about that part lol
and i have an interview at sheffield hallam on the 13th not heard from anywhere else have you?

Well done! Is at crewe or manchester?

Ive applied to gloucestershire, Herts, Reading and Chichester.

Got interview for all of them, but already had the chichester interview.

Anyone been to a chichester interview and heard back yet??

If anyone has questions on interviews at Oxbrookes, Reading or Brighton just ask and ill be happy to answer.

Mine's the 17th. Getting nervous now!
It was an attachment on an email. It's quite a long day actually, with group and individual interviews, english and maths tests, and the presentation. We definately don't need to take anything, we just have to talk for 2 minutes about something they give is on the day. It's a bit gutting that we have to prepare it over lunch though, because that's when you really get to meet other candidates, and talk about things.
Oh good luck! I was going to apply there, but decided against it because it's so near to where I live, and I wanted to move really. I know people there though, and it's really good.
I've had 3 interviews now, and one unsuccessful. Have you?

Kelly

thanks!

good luck! the interview at Brighton is really hard! xx

Hey
I've applied for General Primary at Chester and Primary Education at Bangor, Edge Hill, Gloucestershire and LJMU.

I've got interviews at Edge Hill and Gloucestershire at the end of November.
Has anyone else applied to these universities?

Heyyy, I noticed you said to had an interview for Gloucestershire at the end of November.. as did I!!
Just wondering if you've had any feedback yet?
I know they said it was January, just feel like I'm waiting round forever lool

My Brighton interview's in a couple of days and Chichester's next week... what kinds of questions were asked? what were the writing tasks like? and i saw that chi had a maths test too, what was that like? sorry for all the questions :/

Ive replied about brighton before in detail i think its on this thread if you look through.

For chichester i got rejected so doubt ill be of help...
The maths test is on fractions, percentages and decimals.
Percentages includes a % of a number
Fractions includes converting whole numbers and fractions into just fractions or fractions into decimals. And the test alo includes ordering from highest to lowest. i didnt look over this very well and failed badly even though ive a gcse A...you should find it ok though it you brush up just to familiarise yourself. the literacy task is also no problem (a statement is made, you discuss it)

Questions include why chichester/why that subject specialism
I really didnt like the pair interview my interviewer really stretch out the question between me and my pair so that i ran out of good stuff to say ie what makes a good teacher (he asked us both 3 times one after the other...on the spot its hard to come up with more)
He didnt ask much about my experience. i cant really remember anything else. Good luck

What was Brighton like? I know the writing part's supposed to be quite difficult but are the questions really hard too? Really nervous about mine tomorrow!

I had my Dundee interview today. it wasn't too bad...not sure if I've done enough tho. But Dundee don't offer any places until the end of march!

I got an interview for Dundee later this month Out of the three interviews I've been given so far, this is the one I'm most worried about though :/
