Speech and Language Therapy/Speech Sciences 2011 Entry

Ahh i was so so close to taking psychology! I got 3 C's, one mark off a B in my philosophy!! haha i was gutted! Resitting my english and media! as i would like at least a B in both I'm predicted ABB, how about you?

I got the Manchester met thing through too! I hate this waiting around though haha I'm also waiting to hear from city and leeds met, hopefully not much longer for us though!

Sorry its taken me so long to reply. Busy week!


I'm not sure about other unis but mature students in my year had taken access courses. However it depends on what your course was in as I know some were asked to do have a more recent qualifcation in a Science subject. My advice would be to contact the unis and ask, because its probably quite an indiviudal thing.

I can only speak for Marjon syllabus- which is constantly changing. In my first year there was one module of Biology and it is very very hard. Learnable but hard. Since my first year I know they've changed the format of questioning as they now have a bank of a 100 or so questions (which they provide mid way through the term) and the exam questions are chosen from these.
In the 2nd and 3rd year its more relevant biology- a large focus on neurology. I found the 2nd and 3rd year biology easier to understand as its related to a disorder/disease and symptons rather than just learning anatomy.

As for the workload, it is a lot of work but you can still have a social life if you plan it out. Attendance is taken into account as well as grades. I think contact hours is around 20-25 a week depending on how far into the year it is. Also you have extended terms. You work from Sept- July (as opposed to usual uni terms which generally end in Mayish)

Wow there brilliant grades well done ! Ahhh im sure with lots of hard work you'll get there Hmm yeah our school don't even bother with general studies cause so many courses don't accept it anymore. Yes yes I sent it off the Monday just gone! have you? x

Hahaha me too UEA, Leeds Met, Manchester met, De montfort, City.

Manchester me have sent me a written interview thing but that's it at the moment. where have you applied? Where were was your favourite?

Sounds good, i was very limited with where i could apply because I don't do Biology.
I know a SLT who went there she loved it!
UEA is my favourite course! I love it, and I do quite like the city too, Just as shame its not in walking distance.. but for location I love Leeds

I didnt take biology either but i think quite a lot of places like people who have a science subject or something

Yeeh i really liked UEA but its a 5 hour train journey from where I live so i thought it was just a bit too far

Is everyone else just as obsessed with checking their UCAS as me? :')
