Hi i was just wondering if anyone could help me? For the five minute lessons are you aiming to teach your peers or prepare it as if it was for primary-aged children? because i'm really confused. Like i don't want it to be too easy or anything. Any advice would be much appreciated! :smile:

Have you planned your 5 minute lesson yet?

Applied for Birmingham PGCE history in Apply 2. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to reply to say whether you have an interview or not? Unsure whether just to apply for Cardiff or Swansea instead because I've heard somepeople saying that B'ham usually take a while with replies.

Does anyone know if you receive the £20000 teaching bursary whether you are still entitled to apply for other grants ( adult dependency, parent, maintenance etc)?

How long did people get when University of Birmingham e-mailed you saying you have an interview and the actual interview day? Was it over a week or just a few days?

Afaik the teaching bursary has no effect on any other finance. The bursary is designed to draw people in to teaching and is nothing to do with whether the candidate needs the money.

About the bursary... I need some advice. I'm doing r.e so I don't get one but I'm applying to external places. I don't really know what reason to give for it though. No-one needs the bursary because we all get ample student loans, but of course it would be nice. I don't just want to put down that I want it because it's money though haha.

I haven't heard from them at all and I'm in apply 1! I don't know if they are still processing applications or if it will just go to automatic rejection? :frown:

Hi,

Last month (16th December) , I submitted an application for a PGCE in Secondary History, and my choices were Birmingham University, Nottingham University and Manchester Metropolitan University. Manchester Metropolitan Uni had closed their course before Christmas as was full, and so I am still waiting on hearing from the other two unis, and I am still in Apply 1. I was wondering if anyone knows how long it may usually take to hear back if you got a rejection or interview? Is there anyone that has applied to these unis for a PGCE?

Also, is there anyone else who has applied for PGCE History aswell? It would be great to hear from you.

Thanks :smile:
