Thank you soo much for your help, I have just finished writing my personal statement today. I will post it to you, that would be very helpful.
A speech therapist I spoke to recently suggested that, if you study at some universities, you will have better employment opportunities. But you seem to suggest that this is not the case, which is reassuring!
The placements do sound good at Marjon, I think the 3 month training placement is particulary good, as it will gear you up for work.
Thanks again xx
