Physiotherapy: 2012 entry

Depends on the uni tbh.

read this, it has all the latest physio news, just read them and try to understand/summarise them so you can bring them up if need.

Thanks, I've applied to King's college London, I've look at the CSP website, but there is loads, how do I know how much I should read/make notes on?

You don't, you can only read and know so much. They don't expect you to be up-to-date on all the current news- but knowledge on a few should be fine.

phew, thats good, I've done more work experience since sending off my UCAS so i hope that enough, thats good advice, what grades did they say they wanted? yeah my interview is wednesday

Hey everyone, I am thinking about applying for the Msc physiotherapy course at leeds met for 2013. I am finishing my sport science degree this year however I haven't got much experience apart from a week in year 10. I have always wanted to be a physio but the year i started uni a physio grant was released a year or two before so we frightened there would be limited jobs (although its the case in any job now a days). And I still want to go into physio. I have done work experience in afew schools and a nutrition placement working with kids and adults.

Do you think its worth applying for this year? or wait for the year after?
I am trying to get work experience and the deadline is 31st may which ill be able to do afew weeks as I finish first week of may. PLEASE HELP!?

Hi
Im Patrick and Im from Ireland.
I'm starting Bsc Physio in September.
I read through your post and I think you've got nothing to lose if you apply this year?
You can apply to as many places as possible for physio work exp. and if you get it, even if its through the summer, you can tell them at interview all the places if you have dates to attend.

Also, even if you were rejected, it gives you a better chance next year, as you can ask them what to do for you to gain a place next year, and tell them you will re apply..
During that year off, you could then do as much work exp as possible, in as many areas as possible, and go back to them next year and impress them with how much youve done.

So in my opinion I would apply as you aint got anything to lose
Even if you didnt get in, theyl give you so much help in where you can get better

Hope this helps

I have an interview for hertfordshire in march could anyone let me know what sort of interview it is and what to expect?

What degree have you got if you dont mind me asking?! I got an offer from southampton 2 weeks or so ago? Applied on 12th Oct.

Sorry to hear that how soon did you hear from oxford brookes after interview? xx

ah well done =]
I emailed them and apparently it's still being shortlisted. i applied mid nov. I have an undergrad in Early Childhood Studies. so i know its not majorly related but its from a decent uni which must count for something! apparently not. i rekon i lack enough work experience...
where else you applied and heard from?

Got an offer from Man Met yesterday - ABB w/ B in Biology, excluding general studies

Only had my interview on the 8th so pretty happy!

Which uni did you go to?? work experience is a problem - I got rejected from the MSc courses when I applied last year due to lack of exp! Was in my final yr at uni tho so didnt have much time to find placements! Only applying for BSc's this time tho What work experience do you have??

I've got offers from Soton, Brookes, B'ham and UWE. Haven't heard anything from cardiff but I think i'm gonna cancel that choice now so I can firm soton. And I didnt have an interview with them... apparantly they dont interview?? I was really suprised as I thought they would def be one to interview first...

Where have you applied?? .. I hope you hear back from them soon

Wow, thats amazing, well done! Getting into physiotherapy is really competitive so you've done soooo well. If you applied for a masters i assume you have a previous degree, what was it?

I applied to all of those accept Bham as I knew they wouldnt consider me. I've been rejected from them all. Brookes gave me an interview but i fluffed it up. I got lucky enough to befriend a physio a few months back and she read through my p.s and said it was more like a junior physio had written it rather than someone simply applying to do physio and said i should be fine. obviously there is something the unis dont like about me so I am emailing to find out!
I had some work experience but not loads. I'm a bit peeved because i struggled to get physio work exp. so included some work exp. i got in the NHS with a health visitor because I read that it was better to have work exp. thats remotely relevent than none at all but obvs thats not the case.

so which choice you going for? don't say brookes. ill be so jel, that was my first choice haha.
