Strathclyde for p teaching anyone!?

I'll be starting this September in Strath

[tinksie100]

Hello I am applying to Primary Teaching this year and was wondering what results people that got unconditional and conditionals last year got in 5th year to see what I can expect to receive if my interviews go well.

Also the universities I am applying to are Glasgow, Strathclyde, UWS, Stirling and Edinburgh . If anyone has any information on the interview processes from last year it would be much appreciated.

Well I had a UWS interview last year and got rejected but my teachers had given me rubbish predictions however I got my results and from what I see I meet the entry requirements for a lot of them. However the competition is extremely fierce.

Is this enough for me to apply for Primary teaching...My personal statement is all about my experirence with children.....thanks

I am not sure your grades will be high enough, sometimes a C in English is ok if you have an A in higher maths. It is very competitive.

Maybe apply for 3 and have a back up as your other 2 choices as you can always apply for a post grad on completion of your degree.

Everyone in my year had at least a B from maths. I think it's a strictly kept minimum requirement at least in Strathclyde. It would make a difference though if you were a mature student and done a college course.

I received an offer for Strathclyde with a C in english as I had an A in maths. I also had an A in modern studies which may have helped as it is an essay type subject. That was a few years ago now though!

Yeah, our tutors and lecturers have told us that the entry requirements have gone up rapidly over the past few years and as the course is now completely changing, they're at their highest. I've heard only a very few amount of people having Cs this year, most having 3 to 5 As (and possibly one B) and one C, if had a C coming straight from school.

I achieved 4 A, 1 B and 1 c and had an unconditional to Edinburgh and Jordanhill

Kinda funny how Jordanhill is no more, after to my knowledge being the first teacher college in Scotland. But it's good having everything in one campus, the new resource centre is amazing at Strathclyde.

I may have chosen Strathclyde at the time if it had been in the city centre!

There's kinda two sides - some are complaining that we're not in our own happy bubble anymore and some are very positive about the move. I'm quite glad because I'd rather not get up too early, living in halls and all that! Now instead of 40 it takes me 4 minutes to get to lectures.

I only saw Jordanhill but I understand why it's being 'abandoned'... Beautiful outside, super scruffy inside. Plus there's a lot of other changes happening with the buildings in the next 5-10 years.
