Primary education (Scottish unis or applicants)

I will be going into fifth year after the summer and I am hoping to get into Glasgow University to study education with primary teaching qualification. I have received an A in English, modern studies and geography, a B in french and mathematics then a C in chemistry all at national 5. I have over 350 hours volunteering with brownies and my work experience in a primary school also have been an alter server for over seven years. Do you recommend that I choose higher mathematics and if I don't do it will that affect my chances, next year I will be studying English, modern studies, geography, French and religious moral and philosophical studies all at higher. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Aww ok, Well if you need any help preparing for interviews or that. I'd be happy to help, because I know it can all be quite stressful x

Trying to pick my subjects currently for sixth year, what subjects did you do? Or do you thinks it’s more about your interview than grades?

l would say that grades are important because they help you get into uni and therefore receive an lnterview. Then at the interview is when you mae a good impression. For my sixth year at school i chose German; History; Biology and RMPS. So a couple of new subjects so that i had a bit more variety and then a couple of subjects continued from fifth year that i thought would be important. For teaching l believe you should have a variety because you are going to be teaching a lot of different things. Hope that helped xx

Yes, thank you for your reply. Think I’m going to pick politics, history, business management and advanced RMPS

Thats a great mix of subjects - Good Luck! Need any more help just send me a message xx

I have just been offered an interview for Glasgow University (Dumfries Campus) 😍
