    wear a smart suit to look professional, as long as its smart. the uni will want to hear that you are very enthusiastic about becoming a teacher that you are always keen to learn new skills, that kind of stuff. any questions they ask you, try to come up with an answer. you can always prepare for it, eg. making up questions for youself that you think they are going to ask and preparing answers for them.good luck!!

    depends what course it's for.

    if it's someting like teaching/business/management then go smart.

    otherwise i'd just go however you feel comfy. i went to all my uni interview in baggy jeans and hoodies, and i got in everywhere i wanted (including Leeds). for most courses they don't give a chuff what you look like.

    When is your interview? I had an interview for Prim Ed 4 years ago and I have another one on the 18th.

    If you go along smart it will create a good first impression, quite often they ask you to do either a written test or verbal presentation and they will ask about the curriculum. what you know and that sort of stuff as well as ask about your experiences with children in classes.

    PM me if you wanna chat about it or have any questions you want me to (try) and answer :)
