PGCE

Question for those who have applied to PGCE's in Ulster University (Coleraine) - does anyone know what the interview process entails for post-primary education? Know a storytelling element to the interview is included for the primary teaching application process. Keen to know the time-frame also for interviews to be held and for offers to be made, typically.
Question with reference to PGCE Technology and Design specifically.
Thanks in advance for your help

I called admissions last week and they said interviews for T&D would be held on 7th and 8th March, and that I should expect an email through this week to let me know if I have made it through to interview stage. Nothing yet- fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed here too, hopefully hear back this week.
Really nail biting isn't it?

Hi, got an email yesterday morning just as I was going in the gate of school for some more observation experience. Interview booked for next Tuesday! When are you interviewing?

I have booked Monday for my interview, on teams. I am so nervous! I am in full time employment so prepping in the evenings. Hoping to get into a local school at the end of the month for more observation too. Good luck!

Hi Carla_OK, how was your interview? Looking forward to getting mine over and done with now, any indication afterwards how long it will be before we know if we are successful?

Hi Kevin,

Assuming you are also on 'the other side' now! The relief hasn't hit me yet. I didn't ask when results would be issued, did you? I was happy overall with the interview, the written task was stressful but again, happy with my content! How did you get on?

I feel like the interview went well. Written task was OK too, probably could have changed it slightly but no point worrying about it now. Should hear from admissions in 2-3weeks if we are successful, best of luck
