Primary and Early Years Education with QTS BA(Hons)
How are interviews taking place this year?
Interviews are taking place in person on campus. You’ll be sent further information and a map in your invitation email.
What will happen on the day?
Your interview invitation will include information on what will take place on the day. The interview will include a 1-1 interview with one of our tutors. We’ll ask you to bring an object that could be used to help children learn. We’ll ask you to give an explanation and demonstration of your chosen object. We’ll also ask you to bring a children’s story book. You’ll be asked to explain your choice of book and read a short section of the book. You will complete an online literacy and numeracy task to assess your written communication and mathematics skills. The literacy task is a short piece of writing on a topic given to you at the interview. The numeracy task is a multiple-choice mathematics test. Both tasks are completed on the day of the interview.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for you to demonstrate good personal skills and knowledge appropriate to the course. We’ll refer to your personal statement and expect you to show your passion for teaching. We will send you further specific details if you are invited for interview – our aim isn’t to surprise you or put you on the spot. We want to get to know you and consider whether you’re right for the course. It’s also a great opportunity for you to think about whether the course is right for you.
What happens after the interview?
Your UCAS Track will be updated with the outcome of your interview as soon as we’ve made a decision. If you are offered a place and accept this, we will send further information about things that need to be completed before you start your course, such as your Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which is a requirement for working with children.
If you have any questions about interviews, please contact sepd@hud.ac.uk.
