PGCE Interview Day - Wednesday 22nd January

Our PGCE Interview Days are designed to be the first step of what will hopefully go on to be a positive, successful PGCE year for you with us at the University. You will have an opportunity to get to know some of the academic tutors, see the main building your University sessions will take place in and meet some of your potential fellow trainees.

What to Expect

The day will be made up of:

• A one-to-one discussion with one of our academic tutors about your application
• A written activity to help identify any areas of subject knowledge we can support you with
• An opportunity to explore the campus

What to Bring

On the day of your interview, please bring the following for verification:

• The original certificates for the following qualifications: GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics (as well as GCSE Science if applying for Primary)
• The original certificate of your degree if you have already graduated
• If you are on the DBS update service, please bring in the original DBS certificate. You will also need to fill in a consent form on your interview day so that we can verify your DBS
• Two forms of ID, one of which must be photographic. These can include: Passport; UK driving licence; marriage certificate; full birth certificate; P45/P60; EU National ID card or BRP

*Note: Prior to the interview, please upload the documentations above onto the “Documents” section of your application on MyStudentRecord. Otherwise, we will not be able to verify the documentations listed above on the day of your interview.

Before the Day

On the Friday before your interview, the Programme Administration team will email you with further information about the day. This will include:

• A guide on the topics that will be discussed during your 1-1 interview, to help you feel as prepared and relaxed as possible
• A Mathematics subject audit, to be completed before the start of the interview day. This is so our tutors can identify if there are any areas of your subject knowledge they can help you with over the duration of the course
• Further information about what to expect on the day
• A reminder of what to bring
