    Hi there,

    Just wondering if anyone has been through the interview process for the Mature Student B.Ed course or Grad Dip in Education in Mary Immaculate in Limerick?

    Is there any particular questions you can expect, or any tips for getting on well? I would expect questions on:

    - Why do you want to be a teacher, why are you doing the course now, as opposed to earlier
    - Why do you think you will make a good teacher
    - Why do you think you will be able for the course
    - How was your experience in your current job/previous third level experience

    Can anyone think of any other questions to expect? I've heard both courses are hard to get into so any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    An Ghaeilge!!!!!! Are you prepared for the irish part of the interview???

    As a mature student, you will bring life experience with you and will probably get on great at the interview - I presume you have had teaching experience or something similar so you know it is for you! Tar éis sin, bí réidh leis an Ghaeilge!!!!!!!!
