Yeah it was brilliant, the course sounds amazing! Like I Defos wanna go there but my problem is like money and moving though! Just having to answer they questions but u get like 40 mins to do it! Then the group part was like groups of 5/6 and we had to decide who got the kidney out all these different types of people! There were lots of lectures and stuff there and current and past students n they were all saying about how they basically got jobs straight after uni and the current students were saying on placement they met with people from Dundee uni n they said they felt like they knew millions more compared to them. It was really informal and everyone made u feel really comfortable and stuff! I'm just waiting to hear back now! But they said they will start to make offers two weeks afterwards and my interview was two weeks ago today!!

That sounds brilliant, I can't wait for my interview on Wednesday. Really nervous, That's interesting about the Dundee students as I have applied there too. Done my stage two written work for Dundee and just waiting to hear, don't think they do interviews. Did you have a one to one interview or was it just the group work? I am going to start preparing for the written work over the weekend so feel I have an idea what I shall write on the day :-)

Honestly don't be nervous, there's nothin to be worried about! Just get ur answers prepared for the written part! And nope just group work, and I know this sounds silly but make sure u don't discriminate against anyone, because everyone in my group were trying to say a lawyer should get the kidney because they give back to the community and I just turned round like eh no, what has her job got to do with it? And they laughed about a guy saying he was 'creative' because in the scenario it said he openly dressed as a woman! I was sitting there completely shocked😂 Yeah they said Dundee is a lot of law n said Dundee students knew basically nothing compared to the RGU students! For the written work I had my answers planned and timed and that helped a lot because they said said half a page an answer but because I knew exactly what I was writing I managed to get a page per question. What other unis you applied for n where is ur first choice? I've had interviews for RGU and GCU and sent written work to UWS.

I would of been shocked too. Being a social worker you should never discriminate against anyone. Dundee is only other one I have applied to for social work. From looking at prospectus RGU subject areas look better than Dundees but both do have a great reputation. I am really keen on working in childrens services. I have also applied for nursing in Inverness (stirling uni)and in Kirkcaldy (dundee uni) as if I dont get into social work will go through nursing to follow on to health visiting eventually. Had interviews for both of them already so just a waiting game now
