PGDE Scotland 2024

Does anyone have experience with UWS primary interview?
I am aware of the format but was wondering what sort of questions should I expect?

I’m so nervous as this is the one I really want😬

Hi everyone, has anyone had an interview for Strathclyde primary? I have been invited for interview in March and feels so soon with so much to prepare! What kind of questions did people get asked if they have been yet?

Hi there, I’ve applied to the PGDE for Secondary and Spanish at Strrathclyde and Glasgow uni but have not heard anything back. Just wondering if anyone from MFL heard anything back yet? I’ve submitted my application on the 30th of Jan and just worried I’ve left it too late.

Hiya, I had mine last week and it was on zoom, the lady shared her screen and had the questions written there. I can't fully remember the qs tbh but there was something like what is the role of a teacher? something about that weird scenario which tbh i overprepared for and still have no idea what they meant by the question - some nonsense about how would you respond to that scenario if you witnessed it?
Basically prep wise just have some stuff about how you have skills and understanding of SPR (i think the CoPAC stuff and realising the ambition was not useful info unless you can be arsed reading 1000 pages ahah.
Oh yes she also said it's super demanding doing PGDE and everyone has breakdowns and how will i manage to cope with the stress etc. GOOD LUCK!

Aw best of luck for your UWS interview!

Hello! I have been invited to an interview/selection event with UHI in a couple weeks and I was wondering if anyone has any experience of what it is like? I also submitted my maths/english/degree qualifications to Strathclyde and now am awaiting a response from them!

Hello, I had my interview yesterday. It was quite relaxed, I was in a call with 4 others. You just say why you want to do the degree (briefly) then there’s a 20 minute group discussion (which isn’t as long as you’d think) on a topic. Then you write a short essay on a scenario, you get 30 minutes. That was it, it was two hours in total.

Hi folks, that's me completed my presentation for Dundee. Wishing everyone all the best with interviews!

Has anyone herd back from Edinburgh with an offer?

Yes I received an offer for PGDE music yesterday. Have you heard back yet?

Hello! Have you had a response from any of the unis you applied to?

I’m am also applying to Edinburgh for PGDE Art & Design but have not had a response as yet 😕 I applied in January.

Hi! So I’ve done my interviews for Strathclyde early Feb and got an offer, and recently done at interview for Edinburgh and got an offer for that as well. I got offered an interview at UWS but withdrew my application (and from UHI) as I am more keen on Edi/Strathclyde. Heard nothing from Glasgow.
I applied 23 January if that helps.

How did you wait for your Strathclyde offer if you don’t mind me asking?

Only a few days, same with Edinburgh.
They usually say 7-14 days though I believe.
