Normally for teaching interviews you are sent the outline of the day in advance. If you don't have this, then do contact the uni as it's likely there is stuff you will need to prepare in advance.

There are some general interview tips on this post https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6193808

Thankyou. I have the information for the other interviews but just not Winchester so I will contact them.

Really! What date is your interview? These are some practice questions on here that might help...

why do you what to be a teacher?; What qualities should a good teacher have?; Why you want to study at the certain university; Why you have chosen primary xx

Hey @Vicnolan! Glad you have applied to us :smile:

We recommend that you be completely yourself, prepare some answers in advance e.g. why you want to be a teacher, why you chose the university that you're interviewing for, what previous experience you have had with young children/teaching placements, reflect on some of the things you have written in your personal statement etc and use this as an opportunity to see the campus again. Remember that if you're moving to a particular university, you need to want to live in that area for 3 years!

Interviews aren't as scary as they seem, particularly at Chichester as we use this as an opportunity to get to know you on an individual basis, give you the opportunity get to know the academic staff that you will be taught by and other prospective students that are also interviewing who you may end up on the same course as.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!

Thank you for your reply! It’s really helpful! When I have gone online to book into the interview I can’t make the two dates available, is there any other way I can come to another one? x
