Hello,I would like to ask on Middlesex language test. Is there anybody who has any experience with this? Can you recomend me some preparation? Than you very much for your tips,Katerina

The language test is an essay. I believe they are testing you on how well you structure your point of view/knowledge, grammar, spelling etc.Make sure you have an understanding of what the role of a social worker (if that is what you will be studying) and the skills required as well as the values .The information I have given you is based on the literacy test for social work.

I can’t advise you on psychology but the socialwork literacy test was basically an essay.

Hello,

Nice to hear that you are interested in studying with us!
The facilities are really good and include a specialist environmental and occupational safety laboratory where you'll carry out practical assessments, as well as specialist monitoring and other equipment.

In terms of the teaching, there will be both practical work k in the form of workplace visits, risk assessments and laboratory simulations, as well as attending lectures, workshops and seminars.

We are running an Open Evening on the 20th of June. Why don't you come along, have a look and a chat with the current lecturers and students?
You can book your place here: https://www.mdx.ac.uk/get-in-touch/meet-us/pg-open-days

Have a great day!

Hi Ludovica,

I have applied for MA Novel Writing and I have a few questions:

1) Is it possible to get in touch with current/ past students to find out about their experience?
2) The website says there will be an interview, does anyone know what kind of questions are asked so that I can prepare?

Thank you!

Hello,

The lecturer got back to me and;
- Here is the link to a webinar that they have run last week – http://breeze.mdx.ac.uk/ps3jnx9znjq4/
- There won't be an interview but only personal statement, that is a mistake in the website.

Hope it helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

Have a great day

Hi Ludovica,

This is very useful. Thanks for this. Is this how the course is taught, through live webinars, or are there prerecorded videos? If prerecorded, can I see an example?

Where was this webinar advertised, so I can see if there were more?

Can I see the profiles of all the four faculty involved on the programme? (I've seen Adam and Lorna's profiles)

Are there any examples of students who have gone on to be writers/academics?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I would like to study my PGCE in a language at Middlesex. I know that it’s an option that has been available in the past because even my old French teacher got her PGCE from there. I am really curious to know because it’s a great uni just minutes away from where I live!

Thank you in advance for your help.
