Yes had to do presentation for Aberdeen.Chose International Primary Curriculum but they were really informal and pleasant so don't worry about it too much-they make you fell very relaxed and at home.Took along some laminated A4 sheets about it too.One interviewee even had a a large portfolio case-not sure what was inside.Honestly don't stress about it

I also did my presentation on the international primary curriculum. The interview was fine, my interviewers were lovely. Where else have you applied? Good luck for your interview :smile:

I'm doing that one too..! I'd say that was the most popular..
I've applied to Hertfordshire and Nottingham Trent also.. But Aberdeen is my favourite! Where else did you apply?

Has everyone had their interviews for Primary Education at Strathclyde? I've not heard anything back from them yet. x

Mine is Dundee, but still waiting to hear from them :frown:

Any word back from Dundee yet? (: I got a rejection, but I'm not too bothered as they were my fourth choice and I have offers from my top three. Hope you got an offer from them (:

I had my interview at Strathclyde on Feb 8th and got an offer from them on Feb 18th. Maybe they're still doing interviews. If your worried about it you could email or phone them to reassure yourself? Good luck! (:

For Strathclyde? It was a lovely interview. It was an individual one. When they sent me an invitation to interview (they sent it in the post) included was a sheet with attributes and skills listed, that you had to rate yourself from 0 to 3, but you couldn't like rate yourself three for them all because you had a limit of points to allocate. Most of the interview was talking about why you scored yourself certain scores for that sheet, and examples of when you showed them. Also the interviewers don't have a copy of your personal statement, or any of your application, all they know about you is your name, so if you get to interview stage it's purely based on interview performance. But in a way it was good, because you could tell them all the things you mentioned in your personal statement.

Hmm sounds OK, thanks. I'm still waiting to hear as I've applied for an internal transfer rather than through UCAS as I'm already at Strathclyde. The transfer interviews aren't being held 'til next month but to be honest I think I have such a slight chance of getting a place as I think it's only if there are left over places we get considered and there was 1200 people applied so it's really unlikely that there will be any spare places :frown:

I'm sorry to hear that =[ they rejected me too. And it was so hard to get in this year, I think they had over 1000 applicants for 65 places. At least you have your offer for Aberdeen, think positively (: all the best with tht (:
