UWE - 2013 Applicants

I couldn't find a thread for general chat for people applying to UWE this year so thought I'd make one! I'm applying for psychology with sociology...Who else is applying here? :smile:

I'm applying for paramedic science! :smile:
Though its not my first choice, but I'm pretty sure it'll be my insurance (if I get an offer!)

Did you have to complete an online questionnaire when you received your welcome ID?

Wow that sounds so interesting!!

My referee is taking ages and hasn't sent off my application yet so no I haven't! What's it like?

Oh, well they'll email you a link with an ID and password to have your own personal login with them, make sure to check it regularly because they update you about interviews via that rather than ucas.

They sent me a questionnaire a few days later which was pretty short, the questions were like 'explain a time you upset someone and what did you do to resolve it' and 'explain a time you found yourself in a difficult situation and how did you cope'.

It seemed pretty general and you had to complete it for them to continue your application further so I'm thinking every applicant may have to do it but I'm not sure! :smile:

Oh okay never knew we had to do that! Not too hard then? Yeah maybe its just for specific courses...guess I'll find out when my application finally gets sent! Have you been for an open day at UWE? :smile:
I've applied for business management :smile:
I got the welcome ID login, but haven't heard anything since yet :frown:

Did they email you about the questionnaire, or was it just on your uwe intranet thing? :smile:

It was in my intray on the UWE portal page, the one they give you an ID and password for :smile:
So I had to answer it on there, though they said they'll email whenever you have updates in your intray..

zazu345 - I haven't yet! Have you? if so what's it like? :smile:

No I haven't been either! If I get an offer I'll probably go to one in June time as they usually have a couple of open days around then! :smile:

I've applied for law it's my first choice. I received acknowledgement almost two weeks ago and no response either! No questionnaire either but I was given a invitation if I would like to go to the open day.. Hmmm.

It's been a while for me too, I'm guessing they're one of the unis that don't offer for a while :/

Thanks! My tutor was a dick and refused to do my reference, because I showed my PS to other teachers before him!! Like sorry I would rather show my PSYCHOLOGY application to a PSYCHOLOGY teacher first haha. So my head of year said she would do it instead, she usually only does the Oxbridge applicants, so she was pretty quick doing it :smile: Don't think I can go now, because I'm pretty skint :frown: gutted. I come from South West Wales, so not too far, nothing compared to other unis I've applied to haha.
