Why are you applying to this particular teaching course?
Answers:
Answer #1The interviewers will be looking to see that you appreciate the strengths of different courses and have made an informed decision.

Read the prospectus carefully before your interview.

If the institution has a good reputation then feel free to give this as a reason. Beware focusing on the quality of the institution more than the qualities you yourself will be bringing. Use any opportunity you get to demonstrate your own strengths. As the question is "Why are you applying..?" you could answer that you feel this particular institution will give you the best opportunity to develop your strengths and qualities.
