PGCE Interview Birmingham City and Wolverhampton

I've been invited to attend PGCE interviews at Birmingham City University and Wolverhampton University, but I'm really nervous, and I really want to get on the course. Has anyone gone through the process at these institutions, and what should I expect?

Hi @jemmabond!

Congratulations on your invite to interview!

It's understandable to be nervous, but to lend a hand, we've put together some guidance to give you an idea of how to prepare and what to expect here.

Good luck!

Thanks Chloe, but there's a problem. I was on night duty in Stourbridge yesterday (I couldn't turn down the work due to dire straits), and this morning I waited ages for a bus. My plan was to snooze for an hour before making my way to BCU, but unfortunately I slept through my alarm. It's probably too late now, but is there a chance my interview could be rescheduled? Thank you.

I attended an interview at Birmingham City University in December, first there was a presentation about the overall course, then we had to do a written test based on the dfe teachers standards, which assesses your grammar and written english and afterwards we were split into two groups and we had to participate in a assessed discussion on our tables regarding the teachers standards and how different methods of teaching works and at the end there was a 25 minute one-one interview with a teacher. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful and they did not provide me with any feedback.

I attended an interview at Wolverhampton university last week Wednesday, we listened to a presentation first, then we had to complete a maths test and written test, whilst being called for interviews at the same time. They gave me a conditional offer two days later.

I've accepted my conditional offer at Wolverhampton. Did you?
