Early Years PGCE Stranmillis

I will be starting the Early Years PGCE at Stranmillis in September. I was wondering if there is anyone else starting this degree or anyone who has previously done the degree and can offer some insight into the year.

Hi, I’ll be doing the PGCE at Stran in September. Have you got another email from them yet since accepting the offer? 😊

Hi, I’ve had no emails since accepting. One of the students is on placement in my work at the minute and she said we won’t hear from them again until August

I’ve been the same, I was accepted to Coleraine as well and I had constant communication from them since I was accepted and nothing from the university I actually chose😂

I’ve heard nothing either since my offer, just my references being contacted. Feel a lot better now was definitely starting to panic as well haha

Same, hopefully we hear something from them soon. I know a girl that did the PGCE last year and she didn’t get another email until June x
