I Applied for PDGE Secondary History at the end of January at Aberdeen and still have not heard back about an interview - Anyone in the same boat? Im worried I've done something wrong in my application at this point.

Hi, I have been invited for an interview at Strathclyde for PGDE Primary. I wondered if anyone could give me a wee insight into potential interview questions. I worry that I miss something important. Thanks 😁

Have you had an interview? Where else did you apply to?

I applied to UHI, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Strathclyde and Edinburgh for History.

I've had offers from Glasgow and Edinburgh but still waiting to hear of my interview outcome from Strathclyde. Since I received my Glasgow offer, I withdrew from UHI and Aberdeen.

This is my 2nd year applying as I was unsuccessful last year.

I'm in a WhatsApp chat for History and Moddies, please feel free to DM me your number and I'll add you..if interested.


not had any interviews or responses yet apart from rejection from Edinburgh but have also applied to Glasgow and Aberdeen

sent you a DM about the chat thanks !!

Same here, I emailed away my academic transcript and they got back to me saying they received it but haven't had any interviewers or rejection come back yet.

That's reassuring in one sense then. I thought it was just me, but I presume they will be doing the interviews in batches then.

Anyone else had Modern Studies interviews for either Strath or Aberdeen back in January/early Feb and still waiting to hear back? The waiting is terrible

I had a primary interview for Strath in Feb and still waiting. Seeing people who interviewed after me get their places is making me think I didn't get it which sucks as it was my first choice!

Hi, I applied for primary but They defo do interviews in batches same as releasing offers as on my interview I asked when I would hear the decision and the man who did my interview replied "it is up to admissions they communicate In batches so it could be a few months could be a few weeks" I hope this is more reassuring for you and no news is always better news than a rejection.

Good luck.

What did they say? I’m considering retaking maths now. Did you get an offer from Strathclyde? When did you hear back? I still haven’t heard from them but I imagine I’ll get rejected from them too on the same basis

Yes I have an offer from strathclyde. I just have to do an updated it course which Is free. I heard from them 10 days after my interview

Has anyone had to request and online interview for the Edinburgh primary course? I've emailed to say I'm not in the country but can go ahead online but had no response from them. Nervous in case it doesn't go-ahead

Hi everyone,
I've accepted an offer for Secondary teaching Modern Studies at Strathclyde and wondering if there are any other mature students out there?! Not sure if there is another chat on the forum that would be suited, I've searched but couldn't find anything specific to Strathclyde
I'm 45 and will be travelling to Strathclyde from Perthshire area when at uni but would be great to connect before starting in August.

Fingers crossed for those of you still hear from uni and congratulations to those with offers already!

Hi Tracey just to say I went on Facebook and googled for my subject and found a group of PGDE Primary students starting this year. I don’t know anyone doing Modern Studies but you may well find stuff on Facebook or could even create your own! Good luck 😊 xxx

Hello!

I've also applied for PGDE history and I haven't heard anything from Aberdeen, Glasgow or Strathclyde. I'm getting worried too.. But glad to know I'm not the only one. Have you had any offers?

Hi, not Primary but Secondary in Perth. I believe we do quite a bit together and split into our respective classes at times . The residential is for all of us I think?

Hi, can anyone offer any advice for a primary interview at Strathclyde? Feeling nervous about the unseen questions.
