    Hey Has anyone heard whether they have an interview for Moray House? I had an interview last year and heard on the 23rd of Dec but this year I haven't heard anything! I am starting to think I wasn't successful. :( Leah

    Congratulations on getting an interview! I am waiting to hear back too. I emailed Liz McLaren at the start of December asking when we would hear if we were successful as she said they hoped to tell us before Christmas. I've given up hope for this year so it would be a lovely surprise if I got good news in the New Year!!

    Congrats guys :)! Don't be too nervous about the interview because it really isn't too bad! Are the topics the same as last year ( What makes a good teacher, Inclusion, a piece of work you have done with children and educational issues) ? Hopefully I hear either way soon fed up of waiting!

    Hi everyone, I have an interview at Moray House too (27th Jan). Leah, the topics are exactly the same this year, so at least you'll know exactly what you're doing if you get an interview! How does the interview work, does the interviewer start off the conversation then everyone gets a chance to speak? I've never had a group interview before. Hope you all hear soon, the waiting is the worst part. Gail x

    Hey Gail

     

    There were 6 people in each group and 2 interviewers ( one was a headteacher at a primary school and the other a lecturer at the uni) we started off doing an ice breaker where you had too learn things about the person next to you and then introduce them to the group. Then the interviewer would read out the first question and everyone just starts talking about it. The problem I had is that I am quite shy and if there are really outgoing people in the group they can kinda hog the convo! Good luck and let me know if you need any more info :) !

    Hey! I emailed Liz McLaren on Christmas Eve assuming I had been unsuccessful. I received a reply today saying that they have yet to tell all successful applicants and they are waiting on confirmation of numbers for the 2012 intake. Anyone who has yet to hear, don't give up hope yet!! x
