    Derby occupational therapy 2012
    Heeeey ,
    So months and months after my whole applying phase, the only semi solid thing i came out to was an interview at Derby on the 02/03/12. The interview i thought was fairly easy but all the same.
    So who else is going ? , give me updates on offers at derby, or even what you thought of the interview?
    Even people who are just going to derby let us know , itll be good to see who i would be around next year
    Peace and love xxx

    Woo same here :P , just a mere 280 UCAS points away from starting now :P , and im not sure, cause i was under the impression that we'd be at markeaton a lot :P , but owell, ive been warned not to choose lonsdale or laverstoke, primarily for the fact that the accomadation is poorly, and it is miles away from all the campus's ;D..
    Excited to start? xxx

    Hi! I've accepted my offer for derby too! Unconditional for me as I've already done a degree, this will be my second and hopefully lead to a much more satisfying career! So I'm not looking at uni accomodation, I live with my bf in Nottingham and will commute to lectures! Are you guys all coming straight from college?

    Any advice for the Msc OT interview? Ive an interview for a waiting list place (should have got my ass in gear sooner) this week and not sure what to prepare. Do they focus on your degree or is it work experience? What was the group interview like? I appreciate any help at all, cheers, Sorcha

    I don't know as my interview was for undergrad, but I've heard for msc they focus alot on how you can prove you can cope with the workload for msc. For my interview it was talking about the qualities of a good OT, and what qualities you can bring to the course, and what experience you have in the different areas eg mental health/community etc. Hope that helps!

    Hi, was just wondering what contact people have had with the uni, ive been asked about a health questionnaire/injections ive had etc, but nothing else. Has anyone heard from NHS bursaries? I've heard we are all supposed to have heard from them by 15th of july... would be great to hear from you so I know I'm not the only one who hasn't really heard anything!
