How did the interview go? I have an interview for the university of cumbria, people seem to have said you do English and maths tests as well at interviews (I haven't had one yet). I'm soo confused are these additional to the QTS tests? Thank you(Original post by snellmyster)
I appreciate that this is an old feed but has still been very helpful.
I have my interview at the Lancaster campus of University of Cumbria for this course next Wednesday (5th November 2014). I was wondering if there is anyone else out there who is also invited for that day and If you have found any good advice you wish to share. Or, if you have already had your interview and would like to share your experience.
Thanks![]()

Hello,
it went really well thank you. When I went we had an introduction then we were split into two groups where we had to do a two minute presentation on a teaching aid we had brought with us, (This was something we were asked to prepare for in the invitation to interview so don't worry, whatever they want you to do you should get plenty of time to prepare). Before lunch we went to a presentation on the skills test presented by students who had recently taken the tests. After lunch I had my interview, I had spent a long time preparing for all the different possible questions but found it a lot more like an informal chat. Remember, they are not trying to trip you up, they just want to find out more about you! I was offered a provisional place so I'm very happy I got the university I wanted.
I can't speak for everyone but personally I didn't have to do any English or Maths tests and everyone was really nice, helpful.
Good luck with your interview, if you have any more questions please ask and post your experience on here when your done because there will be many applicants out there looking for a bit of reassurance -

I have an interview coming up for Cumbria and I was just wondering what resource you brought in for your interview? I have a few ideas in mind but I am slightly unsure if they are along the right lines, thank you.Last edited by susanx; 08-12-2014 at 20:43. -

Hey Guys, I have an interview in Lancaster on the 7th of Jan, is that the same for anyone else? I have to take a resource with me and I was thinking about taking a story bag as a creative writing stimulus or something, does anyone have any ideas or tips for the interview? Thanks

Omg, this is an old chat. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the questions they may ask on the website is the actual ones they ask in the interview. Very nervous.
Kind regards, thanks.
