That's great! It really gives you something to aim for! I've applied to Warwick! It all feels so real now.. what are your motivations for wanting to work in HE?

Sorry for late reply! Just that I think it’s a really dynamic environment and I love the unity of it. Want to make university accessible for all and give careers advice for students :smile:

Hi everyone I completed my video interview the other day! I hope to find out in the next week or so as my assessment date for my university is in about 3 weeks. Does the university asses my video interview or the ambitious futures team?

Heyy! I would've thought it was the Ambitious Futures recruitment team... But don't quote me on that... All the best anyway :wink:

Hi all,

I'm currently undertaking my first placement on the AF Programme and really enjoying it so far! The application process (in the experience of the current cohort at least) can be quite drawn out - I initially applied in September 2016, and did not receive an invite to a telephone interview until early January this year, so don't get too disheartened if you don't hear back from them for some time.

@philippa26804 in terms of the second placement, you are encouraged to relocate if it takes over 1 hour to commute there from your first university. The scheme will reimburse your accommodation costs up to roughly £150 each week. If you choose not to relocate, and instead wish to commute, petrol/train fare etc will be reimbursed.

If anyone else has any questions about the programme, feel free to get in touch :smile:

It’s about your motivations and reasons for applying and what you think your strengths are etc from what I remember :smile:
