Does anyone know if applying mature students are being called for interviews yet?

scoob70 · 20-03-2012, 16:37

Hi Captain. I'm waiting to hear about the mature student interviews for Sligo IT too. All I know is that they are suppose to take place the last week of April to first week of May. I guess the letters will go out a couple of weeks before that. Please let us know on this board if you do hear anything. Thanks and good luck

I will, guess I took them up wrong - thought it was end of march/start of april.

Gipo3 · 20-03-2012, 22:45

I would guess that the interviews will be held first two weeks of april(easter holidays).

Spoke to Sligo IT today - the mature student interview letters will be going out in the next week or two. Fingers crossed

Captain Slow IRL · 03-04-2012, 19:09

Best of luck!

Well done...are you psychology in TCD aswell?

thelongwait08 · 06-04-2012, 11:18

best of luck with the interview holly,

any idea what will be asked in the interview, i sat my LC in 2005 but am really focused about the return to education, are you employed at the moment, do you know much about what benefits are available for mature students these days

Captain Slow IRL · 06-04-2012, 11:20

I've mechanical engineering down as my first choice and mechatronics down as my second.

Cheers mate ive sent them an email asking for information, do you know what your entitlements will be when you start, are you working at the moment

HollyRichter · 06-04-2012, 16:06

Cheers...do you have an interview for TCD too, what course?
I sat my LC in 2006 and have done alot travelling since then, totally ready to go back now, just needed some time to do other stuff before starting college, best decision I ever made

As far as I know they ask things like what got you interested in the subject, how will you fund yourself, how will you manage the workload etc... but that's just going on what I have heard, I'm sure it varies for each course. I am so nervous, means so much to me to get this place but I am delighted to get called even, that's an achievement in itself I think

I don't work atm as I wont get BTEA if I take a full time job, ridiculous really...don't know too much about the mature student funding but I will be getting BTEA and hopefully a student loan...now I just need to get in lol

thelongwait08 · 06-04-2012, 18:53

hmm how will i fund it, well to be perfectly honest i really have no idea, a part time job is hard to find and i will be moving over from london provided i get the course, but i wont have worked in ireland since august 2011 i wonder will that stand to me at all ?
