Fast track June 2017

Hiya i was just wondering if there are any more people who had the fastrack track interview last Wednesday and got a place on it?
I'm one that got a place 🎉🎉
Wanted to meet new people on this
Thanks

Hey! First off, congrats! 🍾🎉🎉
I also think It depends on what course you are looking to fast track onto whether or not you've had interviews yet.
I've got another 2 weeks until my interview.
How was it, I'm pretty nervous about it all. Would love some feedback

Hiya Sarah7mac
The interview and English test went very well.
They are very nice people.
I felt right at home there.
Just be yourself and you will be fine.
What do you want to do?What subjects?

Good luck you will be fine!👍
Let us know how you got on..
And who knows we might meet there!

Kim

I'm really glad to hear that.
That's good, there is nothing worse than feeling awkward in an interview haha.
I'm looking to study geography.
Thanks again, I feel like I need all the luck with my nerves haha😁😁😁😁😁😁

Hiya Sarah7mac
You will be fine.healthy nerves always good!!
Let me know how you got on!!
Geography sounds really good though.👍

Kim

Thanks Kim.
Will do. Can I ask what you're studying?
And how long after the interview process was it that they told you?

Hey there,

I was at the interview on the 25th and got accepted for the Computing fast track course in June

My advice for anyone is just make sure you're passionate or can talk about the subject area you want to study

Hiya
I will be studying law and criminology.

I found out that same day!
But the do take up to 10 working days to let you know.
So guess I was lucky on that one haha

Not sure what everyone else's interview was like but it's more of a conversation than a bombardment of questions. Just have in mind why you want to go to uni now and why you want to do the course you've chosen. Don't overthink things as you'll end up waffling and remember that they're not in a rush to get you out of the door, they want to see what type of person you are and if you're driven enough to complete the course.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I also had my 'interview' on the 25th Jan and was offered the place 2 days later. I wouldn't even call it an interview to be honest. You have a 30 minute presentation to everyone (regardless of subject) about the course, then an english test which just checks your ability to get information from text and also how you write your own opinion. Then you get split into your subjects and go with a lecturer from your subject. For mine (business), we went to the business building and had a group discussion (about 6 of us) regarding the course, then we were asked questions like what will you bring to the course, why have you chosen the course etc. Its nothing to worry about.

Once accepted you get a link to a pre-course information website which is regularly updated and gives all the info you need. I myself am from the south west so will need accommodation and this is available to all students if needed. There is also the opportunity for funding of accommodation if you qualify which is good. On that note, has anyone who has been accepted been able to access the funding application form yet? It was meant to be uploaded on Monday and hasn't yet.
