Heeeyyyy peoples, I still havent got my NHS bursary letter, should I be worrying?

Ah. Thanks for the tip! I'm going to Uni of Reading this Sept.

(Sorry to quote you again!) I just received my NHS number this morning! Any luck yourself?

Ohhhh good for you , no mine hasnt arrived, I am getting really worried now! Also... once I have it, what do I need to do then? Please can you send me a link to that form so I could start filling it out now aswell so when I do get the number I can just pop in on the form and send it on its merry way! haha!

Just to clear things up for everyone - I've just rang up the NHS bursary helpline to ask about the tenancy agreement. The lady on the phone told me to put in the box about the rent an estimate of what you expect to be paying, with a note saying that you haven't received the tenancy agreement yet. She said to forward it on to them once we receive it.

hiya i thought i'd just let everyone know that don't worry if you haven't received the number yet cause the date by which the form has to be returned (11th June) is only to help them because they wanted a form that my dad doesn't get until the end of June, so we rang up and they said we can send it whenever and that date is only to help them do things easier

This is the form you have to fill in.

ohkey dokes... O have started to fill out that form, it is such a BEAST! oh my god! hahaha!

I am just wondering what that number is I need to ring for the number? I think I will do it next Tuesday! If I dont get it on Monday or Tuesday! I am sorry to keep asking you questions but I am completely clueless about this sorta stuff!

I presume you ring the General Enquiries number on this page, as they don't give any other contact number.

Oh thank you, fabulous!

And this may sound really stupid but ....I am a little confused... in section 7A it says if you are a single student you should go to section 8... but then in section 8 it wants details of people who are dependent i.e. have children...

I am a single student... so where do I put my parents income details?

Have you been financially independent from your parents for 3 years? That's what classifies you as an independent student (i.e. single). In that case, you would go on to section 8.

If you are a dependent student, still living with your parents and not earning your own income, then you must complete the whole of section 7 (where applicable).

ohh hahahaha think I got a bit confused... sooo... I should be filling out the dependant section then I guess!

I have just completed my first year at Reading, and you will need from 0-5 years by Mary Sheridan and ideally a book by Laura Berk called Child Development would be more than useful for the child development assignment that you do all year. Sheridans is only a thin book but contains alot of key developmental milestones. You will also be required to purchase lecumberri and maidment English Transcription Course in the spring term but you start doing phonetics in October. I wish I had been told these books previously- and I would strongly suggest getting a heads up on phonetics over the summer and you will fly through that! (That is the English transcription course book) And practice transcription as much as possible. They will give you a list but for the first year these are the most important, ad a disovering statistics for spss by Field you will have to buy as it is required for the statistics open book exam you will have- providing they still use this book. I think that is all i can remember off the top of my head. Child Psychology by Vasta the 1998 edition is very useful as well.
