What is Primary Education with QTS course like at BCU?

When I went yesterday I had to do a maths and English test. They weren't too hard tbf but they're the type of questions that look easy but aren't that easy...if that makes sense haha. They're not too bad though dont worry.

Hey there.. If you don't mind me asking what interview questions did they ask? And how long were the English and Maths test? I'm asking because I've applied to BCU and received a interview too. Pretty nervous

The English is 30 minutes and the maths is 20 minutes. My interview lasted 30 minutes and they asked:

dont be nervous its not a scary as you think it'll be...Good luck!!

Good question Riyaax. I would like to know this too please good luck

Thanks anishakaur2918. Which universities have you applied to ?

Thank you soo much! By the way I have undertaken a year placement in a Primary School. I do two days a week in a year 2 class. I have also done two weeks in a year 1 class. I'm not sure if I've got enough experience, how much experience have you done?

I have applies to Birmingham city, newman too and Wolverhampton. I havn't heard anything from newman yet though. I am hoping to do ages 5-11. What about you?

This thread is really helpful, thank you. They all sound like reasonably good questions to be honest-not too tricky. Although I am more nervous about the group discussion as I know that no one knows what current issue we will have to discuss. Did you have a group discussion task, and do you know what type of issues were being discussed not just in your group but in other groups as well? Was a lecturer present during the discussion and what input did the lecturer have for example did he/she ask questions or just sat back and observed. Thank you so much. This means a lot.

I have experience with my siblings, helping out at cheerleading, experience in a nursery and then in a primary school which I'm still doing������

Awwh, that's nice. I have a brother who's in Primary School as well. Did you talk about your siblings in your interview? I help my brother with his homework etc.

Thank you for your reply LouiseRoche. I guess I need to get revising then. Its good to get advise from someone who's just been to an interview. Good luch LouiseRoche. I hope everything goes the way you planned. You never know we might see each other in September . Can I just ask what were the English test questions like? Do you have to write about something, correct sentences or answer questions?

I went to the BCU interview yesterday aswell and heard today I got a place its really relaxed just be yourself
