Just checked UCAS track and I have an interview for MMU secondary English, but I haven't received an email or anything? Has this happened to anyone else?

Hey! It wasn't so bad. My interview was with a practitioner rather than an academic so I could hammer home what I learnt at my work experience places.

All in all, the day was enjoyable and I really didn't get the impression that people were elitist or snobby. :smile:

That sounds like a grand interview to be honest...compared to other interviews I feel like the Cambridge one will suit me the most :smile: Good luck with it, I hope you get a place :smile:

Found out today that I have a second interview! So happy! :biggrin:

It's next Wednesday - the day before my other interview! So I have an interview at Huddersfield next Wednesday and then York next Thursday (this is for PGCE post-compulsory education/lifelong learning).

I'm excited but so nervous! The York one is only one hour long and an individual interview, so not too stressed about that one, but the Huddersfield one lasts "half a day" and includes group work/presentations, a written piece, and other stuff as well as individual interviews. Very nervous! Hopefully it will be fine. They've also sent me a medical form to fill in already which has some less than lovely questions but I'll manage them.

Eek! So nervous and yet excited. When I saw the letter from Huddersfield today I was SO scared it would be a rejection without interview as Track hadn't updated (it still hasn't). But when I read "Interview" in the subject line I screamed with joy. Haha.

Yay!

Don't freak out about occupational health forms! They are meant to be supportive (getting you what you need) rather than limiting (saying you aren't fit).

Thanks! Will try my best :smile:

There are a couple of questions I don't like the look of, the rest are generally fine. Hopefully it's just something they will ask me about later, as although I don't really want to talk about them per se, I do think I can do a better job of explaining in person/face to face/verbally rather than on a form - it looks so black and white.

But I was expecting it. I just didn't think it's come until much later!

These interviews sound really tough.


They're actually much nicer than they sound. I went into my first interview full of dread, but everyone was really friendly, and the process is made as nice as possible (obviously there'll still be nerves, but fewer than I was expecting). The interviews themselves have also been very friendly, with one of my interviewers even making jokes and encouraging us to do the same.

So happy, I got 2 interviews come through today by email within half an hour of each other! Notts Trent is on Monday, which I feel totally unprepared for, maths test, group presentation, arghhhh. But I have my Birmingham City University on the 8th of Jan, thank god, I have loads of time to prepare, just worried cause we have a skills audit test, and it says it will cover ALL of the National Curriculum. We are talking about Maths, Science, English, art, music, re, pe and history.

Stupidly nervous, but stupidly excited :smile: I'm also waiting on University of Birmingham to hopefully get back to me!


I have one at notts Trent Monday too! is yours morning or afternoon? :biggrin:
