Audiology advice anyone ???

Hey Guys,

Only just joined TSR but lemme get straight to the point lol :

Audiology isn't something I’ve always wanted to do, but it's now definitely interested me and ISN'T any back up for medicine. I wanted to do medicine, preferred this instead when I read more articles on the career and the issues on hearing problems on the NHS website.

I haven't got any experience at an audiologist yet, but only hospital volunteering with the elderly (who have dementia + other disabilities) and helping children at schools to build my communication skills and see what I'm like around... people :P I've learned how important hearing is.
I haven't really been inspired by a deaf member in my family, but I do have a friend who was deaf from birth, but can still study as she has a hearing aid and a microphone thing that the teacher puts around their neck. This really got me interested. I know this might all be vague information, but does Audiology seem right for me? I've already had a bad year at AS with family problems at home + revision skills.

Predicted grades ABB, Manchester Southampton, Leeds, de Montfort and Swansea.
Is maths and physics needed for this course? I didn't do physics but did AS maths.
I now have Biology, Chemistry and French. (Languages is a hobby and possibly helpful for future career plans abroad)
Do I have to get Audiology experience before my interviews?
What do I wear to the interview for Audiology?

So far I have a conditional from Southampton
I also have been offered a place at Leeds, but not an interview, instead invited me to an open day - do I still dress formally? [Specific clothing item? as my fashion sense is null]
and lastly: Why do YOU guys wanna do Audiology and what's happened so far? I can't find or meet anyone who's doing the same course as me

Now finally my blabber is over, and thanks in advance to whoever gives me advice and bothers reading this. I'm just in the state where I cannot fail more in life in terms of A levels and getting into uni + a career I want.

Thank You so Much =)

Hi,
I'm also applying to do just audiology and am really looking forward to it
When did you apply? My ucas was sent off mid november and i have three interviews but no offers as of yet. I'm really hoping for Leeds, when did you apply and what was your offer?
I think dressing smart casual like smart trousers and just a nice top?

no i haven't any of the interviews yet. Manchester's on the 10th feb, Southampton 28th jan and UCL 23rd feb so with exams as well it's a pretty stressful couple of months!
when's your manchester interview?

Sorry to hijack, but if anyones interested in de montfort, my course does the exact same core modules as audiology so I can give advice on the course etc as i'm a second year Just quote me or PM me and i'll reply!

Good luck!

Not applying to De Montfort but hopefuly modules are universal wherever you study

So the obvious question here is do you enjoy it?! Is there a variety of subjects involved like ethics, biology, physics, psychology? What's been your fav thing to learn oh and how have you been assessed?

Thanks!
