Before I applied I thought the best uni's would be Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester etc. But having spoken to qualified physio's a degree in physio is a degree in physio no matter where you get it from. I go to Keele and apparently it has a better reputation than I thought-I chose to go there coz I liked the place and the course so reputation is just a bonus!
Mel I too didn't want to travel too far North or South I applied to: Keele, Salford, Birmingham, Nottingham, Bradford and Leeds Met. Best thing is to have a look at them at open days.
