We're glad you're considering coming to ARU :h:
Someone from your faculty wrote this blog once and it has some great top tips for personal statements if you'd like to read it >>> Personal Statements - it's time to lose the modesty! The top 10 tips at the bottom are helpful no matter what course you're applying to. In general, I'd say when it comes to education, make sure it's clear you're really passionate about providing a good education, why it matters to you and what you want to achieve by going into primary education. That's what other education students would say :smile:

Good luck!!!

Woohoo! Wishing you the best of luck with the process.
Do you have any work experience you can talk about if you are invited to interviews?
My main advice would be to use examples and evidence when you respond to questions :smile:

Hi. I have had 4 of 5 interviews. Middlesex is my last one on 17th December and I have got conditional offers from all of the ones I interviewed at (which are Hertfordshire, Greenwich, Canterbury and Roehampton) Good luck with your interview and I'm sure you'll get more :smile: x

Well done on getting so many offers! How do you feel about the Middlesex one, I’ve already prepared my poem for it, this is the only one so far out of my options that requires me to do something like that. I now have 4/5 so fingers crossed they go well x

Hi Luckilemp,

I am a Primary Education Studies student at ARU Chelmsford but studying the same modules you will be at Cambridge. I'm on the accelerated 2-year version of the degree, but all the modules are the same. If you have any questions about the course, please feel free to ask :biggrin:

Best of luck with your A-Levels,

Katrina
