Paramedic science 2025 Scotland

So I have sent in my applications to 4 universities in Scotland for the paramedic science courses. ( Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen). I have so far had acknowledgement from Stirling university and they asked for more documents to be provided which I have. Does anyone know if the other universities send out an acknowledgment email? Does anyone also know when Scottish universities generally send out invites for interviews?

It might be worth a post in this year's paramedic applicants thread as other applicants will be watching it and might reply:

i’ve had acknowledgment emails from 4/5 of the unis i have applied for, and managed to secure an interview for robert gordon, the process was pretty quick but i imagine it’ll take them a while to get through all of the applications, good luck though!!

the RGU one was BRUTAL! Stirling was better because at least there was a real person involved lol. I haven't heard about interviews from any of the other Scottish unis, or about offers from RGU and Stirling. Has anyone else had further updates or offers?

No updates or offers yet from both RGU or Stirling, I emailed Stirling and they said the deadline for them replying to applications is the 14th of May, but I'm hoping they begin sending out offers etc after January. And yeah the RGU interview was horrifying, hope I never have to do that again

Does anyone have updates on GCU? Hoping that I can bag an offer for Stirling or RGU as they're my top choices, but I'm starting to lose hope because its been so long since my interviews. Starting now to plan for other interviews but haven't heard about any of them yet. GCU would be my next choice.

Not heard back yet from RGU, have you been offered interviews elsewhere yet?

No interviews from anywhere other than RGU and Stirling unfortunately. Really hoping to hear from Glasgow soon. Hope all your interviews are going well!!

That's where I had my interviews, I was rejected from both Edinburgh and Glasgow quickly so they may be waiting till after the deadline to send their interviews out.
