I didn't know that Strathclyde wanted two references!

Yes I guess they request a second one later on in the process, perhaps after interview? Have you scrolled through the previous years threads for the pgde to see if there is any mention of it?

I'm a bit confused about it! Their PGDE FAQs section says, "Whether you apply through UCAS or directly to the University of Strathclyde, we require two suitable references." But no mention of when a second reference would be required.

I'll try to look some more! I asked some other friends who have also done PGDE but they can't remember the process so well. :frown:

Has anyone done the Access to English course through the University of Aberdeen? If so, how have you added it to UCAS? I'm confused as there doesn't seem to be an option and I don't want to get it wrong!

Hey! I done the Access to maths and was advised to put the qualification as Access - Other. I can’t remember exactly what the options were in the UCAS application as I filled out that part in September and it’s been sent off since then, but I will try and send you a screenshot through DM of what the details look like on my completed application!

EDIT: Sorry it won’t let me send a screenshot through messages! Happy to send via email if you’d like though.

I actually think I might have been reading outdated info! I’ve now applied through UCAS with just the one reference! 😊

Hello everyone! Strathclyde asked for documents this morning for my maths and English qualifications - do they do this with every application? I’m hoping to hear soon about interviews 🤞🏼

I got the same email! I’m hoping it’s a good sign 😊

Did they ask for your degree certificate also if it’s completed? I’m still in 4th year so unsure if I should just upload maths and English, or if I should also upload my transcript so far!

Hello, Before you upload it asks if you’re still in uni then it only asks for the maths and English! So not to worry. Got my fingers crossed for us, is it primary or secondary for you?

From what I remember from the application process last year. I, too, had to send proof of my English and Maths as well as my degree transcript to date as my 4th year results were pending.

Every university that I applied for, both last year and this year, asked for this information.

The wait for interviews for any PGDE varies; some are quite quick but some are not. Please note that not all applicants get an interview and are unsuccessful. For 2 of the universities that I applied to last year, this was very much the case. I only had 1 interview and then I was unsuccessful afterwards.

Hoping that this year might be better.

What PGDE did you apply for? Mines is Secondary Education (History).

Good luck to you all!

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone who is applying for Modern Studies or History would be interested in starting a WhatsApp group or something similar just so we can help each other out when interviews etc roll around and give some insight into what to expect. Just a thought so let me know if anyone would be interested. Thanks! :smile:
