Paramedic Practice/Science-2012 Entry

Latest:
Swansea have made decisions, letters are being sent out as we speak. Everyone should have heard by the end of the week.

Has anyone heard from UWE? I had my interview in the first week of January and haven't heard anything since. Unsure if this is a good or bad thing :L X

Just got this from BCU via e-mail...

Dear applicant


Dip HE Paramedic Science

Thank you for your application for a place on the above course.

We have now achieved conditional approval for this course pending a few minor changes requested by the HPC. These changes have now been made and we are now awaiting ratification of approval which we anticipate will be received within the next few weeks. Unfortunately this means we are unable to consider applications until after this date but would like to confirm your application is being kept on file and will be included in the short listing process which we hope to carry out towards the end of April through to May.

It would be beneficial if you have not already done so, to submit a reference to support your application form. Once the approval process is complete we aim to post this information on the University website

This will be a new provision for the University; however, we anticipate a commencement date in October 2012 (subject to HPC approval). We aim to interview for this course in June/July 2012.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in this exciting new programme you will be contacted following shortlisting of applications. In the meantime should your contact details change or you wish to submit further information to support your application please email [email protected] with this new information.


Yours sincerely

Admissions Officer


Faculty of Health

hey how did you apply? did you get an application form or email them or what?
thanks

Good Afternoon All,

Just wondered how everyone is getting on / getting ready for this years application for Paramedics. I applied to LJMU, Coventry, Staffordshire and UWE last year and received an interview at each. I also applied to SHU and didn't get an interview. Sadly I got no offers last year but plenty of feedback to help me this year.

I am applying this year to:

Liverpool John Moores
Coventry
UWE
Birmingham City University
Oxford Brookes University

Swansea (Not through UCAS so an additional choice)

How about you?

hey, i am applying to worcester university to do pre-hospital unscheduled and emergency care. i have a selection day tomorrow and i just wondered if anyone has any advice?
i am currently studying my A levels, psychology, sociology and english language. i do not have a GCSE in maths, will this be a problem? i do have a functional skills qualification though. i have been a member of st John ambulance for 8/9 years now and obtain many hours of duty and have had first hand experiences in emergency care. i do not have much more experience. i have completed my grand prior award and now that i am an adult i teach first aid within my division, also i help the brownies and other organisations to pass their first aid badges. so basically just wondering if you can give me a heads up on what to say, whats going to happen? thank you.

You will def need your GCSE maths or equivalent, a level 2 numeracy qualification will cover you for some unis but not all accept this as a maths GCSE equivalent.

Please don't take this the wrong way but have you thought that maybe the rejections were down to interview skills rather than medical/ care experience? This was my third year of applying and looking back at some of my answers in my first year interviews I cringe!! And back then i couldnt understand why they wouldnt accept me with all my experience (care homes, hca, registered midwife)
I'm very jealous of people that interview well and can stay relaxed without babbling. In my Oxford brookes interview it felt like the whole room went black and someone put a spotlight over my head, it was awful & yet I did really well in the group interview.
Please don't think I am saying you're unsuccessful because of interview skills but if you have ample amounts of care/ medical experience maybe another look at your interview answers etc may be of benefit.

Unsuccessful from Uclan last night Only LJM left!

However I am guessing Worcester are happy otherwise they would not of selected you for the selection day.

anyone heard from Swansea?

this is what i was thinking, i know someone who is doing sport and he was in the same situation and they said he had to re-sit it whilst doing the course before he could be given his degree

All letters have been posted they said!! Nothing for me today tho!

Thats right, you would need to have a formal numeracy qualification in order to register with the HPC, its the same with nursing courses due to meds calculations etc

so do you think they will allow me to resit whilst completing my degree?
