    Hiya, I sent my application off there at the end of October. When did you apply? They emailed me on Monday asking for my qualifications, but haven't heard anything since. Fingers crossed I get a letter- postman just came today with nothing for me :( Do you get details of the interview structure in the letter?

     Congrats!  I submitted my app at the beginning of October,but I still haven't heardanything back yet.  I think I'm starting to get a little nervous now.  I know that for part of the interview there will be either a presentation or group talk section, depending on the individual uni.  I wonder do you know which one the UWS uses?  Just to satisfy my own curiosity.

    Have you applied for primary or secondary?

    I applied for primary and havent heard anything. Did you submit the application online? last year it was on paper so was a bit wary of completing the online application, you know what technology is like!

    Hey Kittynest :) I was surprised by how quickly I received a reply. I thought I was really late in applying; however, the interview is at the end of January (20th). You get full details of the interview structure. It is held over two hours and consists of a 5 min presentation and panel interview. The presentation is on a subject of your choice, delivered to the group and interview panel, then you get your interview. So far it looks okay, but ask me again in January, you may get a different response ;) When I applied (via online application) I attached all my qualifications etc so maybe this rushed the process through. Good luck, let me know how you get on. :)

    Hey Daisy89 The support form, I understood as your statement of support, i.e, your personal statement in why you want to apply. I had already applied to Strathclyde so I must admit to copying and pasting over into UWS. I submitted all the documents at the end and in relation to other messages here, I believe it has rushed the process through. Would definitely advise that you do this. Good luck!

    Hey! Thanks. I assumed that was what it was and that's what I did. I got a reply the next day which I was surprised about because it was so quick. I think uploading everything online does make a difference. Is anyone here applying for the Hamilton campus or are you all Ayr?
