Teaching questionnaire

Completing the teaching questionnaire

UOW Liverpool Early Admission applications are open from 23 September to 1 November 2024.

If you've applied for a teaching course, you'll need to complete four additional written responses to questions about your motivation and suitability for teaching. A link to submit your response will be sent to you after you submit your Early Admission application, so be sure to allow time to draft and submit your response before Early Admission closes on 1 November 2024.

Accessing the teaching questionnaire

To access the questions, you will need to first submit your initial application, then log back in and follow the prompts to select “Questionnaires”.

You'll then be prompted to submit your written responses to the four questions in about 100 to 150 words per question.
