Uea pgce 2014-2015

Hi all

I passed my skills tests today, so now have a place at UEA on the Early Years PGCE this September!

I know its early, but just thought i would see if there are any other potential PGCE-ers out there. Very excited to start the course and to meet everybody!

Hi Amy! Nice to meet you :smile:

. I don't usually use this site but wasn't sure how to go about finding people. I guess someone will set up a facebook page closer to the time. Are you local to UEA or will you be moving? What do you do at the moment?

I don't but I came across the thread when I was searching for more information on the course :smile:

Yeah I live local to UEA, I'm also doing psychology here at the moment. What about you?

I graduated last year also doing Psychology but at Hull University. Since then iv'e just been working part time and getting school experience, and iv'e got a bit of travelling lined up. I live in Holt (about 45 mins away) so fairly local, but i'm hoping to move into the city for September :smile:

Was that the first interview day? I think i remember you now! We sat together for a while doing the written task? Happy to hear you got on :smile:

I wonder if any of the others got a place.

Yes it was! Pleased to hear you got on, how did your other interview go? I think I remember you saying you had another one the following week. I wonder if anyone else from our interview got on, I suppose we'll find out in September. I've got friends on my course who are still waiting for their interview so I'm pleased we got it all finished with before christmas, I don't think I could have handled waiting this long!

Yeah i had another interview at York St Johns the next week. I got an offer but decided i prefer UEA :smile:

Didnt you have a school direct one as well? Oh gosh i would hate to still be waiting! It was stressful getting the application done early but glad i did now!

I suppose I'll see you in September then!

Hi!

I start my Secondary PGCE this September at UEA :smile:

I did my undergrad there too.

I have made a PGCE Secondary page which should come up on the UEA Facebook page (if it's not then do let me know!).

It would be worth making an Early Years/Primary page too :smile:

Woo well done! You'll be fine :smile:

Just do the practice tests, Maths isn't my strong point at all and I've always been comfortable with Literacy, did the same amount of practice for both but I actually found the Maths a bit easier! I'm excited too :smile:

Well done

What age are you specialising in? I already live in a student house in Norwich as I have studied at UEA for my undergrad, but if you need any help with things there or want to know anything, I'll be more than happy to help if I can!

I have a place on the Primary PGCE with French specialism course :smile:

So excited to start! Would end of June/beginning of July be too late to start looking for a house/flat? I'm still at uni and live in Yorkshire and can't go down to viewings until then really :/

It might be worth having a look online first to see what you can find or contacting UEA and asking if they can help you :smile:

There still tends to be houses around then though so don't panic!
