I would think you'd do it during your interview. Does it not give further details on the Education section of the Durham website?

No, I couldn't find anything on the Durham site for the primary Education admission test. I've sent an email to Durham already but was just wondering if there were anyone who goes to Durham and does a similar course. I'm desperate to find out cos I need to send my UCAS soon.:p: Seems like everyone got theirs sent.:redface:

Some universities submit the information about admission tests to UCAS, others don't. For all teaching degrees, an interview is required. During the interview day, most universities make you take a maths and english test.

Once you sent your form, Durham will review your application and then offer you an interview if they consider you a suitable candidate.

hey
i hope this helps...
i applied to durham uni last year and had an interview etc for it..
from what i can remember, they sat us in a room and gave a chat about what was going to happen during the day..
then they gave us a pack of questions (maths and english) but these are really nothing to worry about, they are jus testing what level you are at and the english questions were just about your experiences (work exp and life experiences) why u wana b a teacher etc!

during this time, we were called out one by one for an interview, during which they asked me why i wanted to be a teacher but they tried to extract as much info from me as they possibly cud! and to be honest i didnt like the interview, because i felt like they were interrogating me and had much nicer interviews at otha unis! other people, however, had really gud interviews ther and loved every minute! im not tryin to put you off, im jus tryin to explain my experiences!

sorry if this doesnt help
