Hi all,


Firstly, congrats to everyone who gets an interview for uni within this fields it's seems to be such a predicament ..


I would like to have info from people who would have applied at University of east London , I went through the whole post but did not seen anyone applying there (?)
Is it not a good university , or is it because NHS does not support UEL ? (and so NHS not covering the tuition fees )


The main reason of my post is that I am a mature student , I am a french woman but I have lived in the country (Wales included ) since 2004 .I want to study in UK and not France because I know that I will leave there quite all my life (or commonwealth ) and so I guess it's best to have a degree from the country i want to live in
I did my A level (baccalaureat ) in France , and don't know how to convert my grades (/20) in letters .Also I see that uni ask for A levels on 3 different subjects .In France baccalaureat (A level ) got at least 6 different subject , and I don't know which grades I shall put then ?
I pretty much got
C in science :/
A in English
B in French
B in philosophy
but had other grades quite bad


Hello,

I think people are probably less likely to apply to places like UEL and Worcester because they are privately funded and if like me you have a degree already you definitely cannot get a second round of Student Loan funding on a non NHS funded course.

In terms of your qualifications, do you have any Biology qualifications? I am a mature student and my highest Biology qualification is a C at AS. Most unis want at least a B at a level. I am currently studying the Open University SK277 module which nearly all Physio unis accept as an alternative to A levels. I have an offer from Coventry so I know if it definately acceptable. Other options are to study for the biology A level, or do some kind of access course.

The best thing I can recommend is to contact the universities you want to apply for directly and inquiring about your best entry route. I made the mistake last year of only looking at their websites and assuming I could not apply because I did not have the Bio A level (and no where I live provides A level biology courses). Some uni's offer a foundation course which is aimed at people who don't currently have the expected qualifications but guarentees a place on the degree if you pass the foundation year with them.

If you don't have the academic criteria this year as the deadline is only 6 days away to apply I would imagine you will struggle to get very far in your application. Again get on the phone to the uni's see if your application would be considered before applying to them would be my advice!

Hope some of that makes sense, bonne chance!

Hi MarlonJ ,

Thanks for your time on answering ,That makes all sense to me now.

yes I did have a C in biology , which seems to be not enough relying on university website's info.
Time is running out quickly now , I don't even have my TOEFL yet -and that university ask - to prove I am able to study in English language, although I am sure I can

I would like to call UEL and Colchester . I don't know what is worth Colchester? I've seen very little information about this one too .

I am looking for education with the more practice possible and possibly a placement abroad (commonwealth), I saw that some university don't allow it because of the workload of the program .

Well done on Coventry ! Did you managed an interview yet ?

thank you very much

Hi everyone,
I've had interviews at Oxford Brookes and Brighton - where i recently got offers from both, and had an interview at UEA this week (does anyone know when they give out offers or rejections?) I have an interview at Cardiff next week and wondered if anyone has been to one at Cardiff yet?
Good luck everyone - we can do this!!!

:/ but don't know which one to choose


As a mature student , I have been working since years in different fields of work(I am 29 years old ) but recently find interest in the health sector, especially physiotherapy . I have done a work experience in a private practice in France , and also one in an hospital (4 weeks for the whole time)
I would like to change career and wonder how a mature EU applicant with my grades (not even sure about my grades) would be consider ?
I know that my path is not brilliant ,so obviously I will not apply to kings for example which university shall I look for , regarding my grades and situation as a mature student ?

Also, and last, I have a reference letter from a previous employer I have been working with for about two years , but in the fashion design fields , I don't know if this could be relevant although it's not in health fields ? I am still waiting for letters from the hospital/privatice I worked in, but in France reference letter are not something common , so just have my letter from my bristish ex employers in fashion ? is it relevant ?

sorry for this long post but I am quite discouraged today, I really would like to have some advice about my situation.

Thanks a lot and good luck for all applicants , interviews !
