Physiotherapy: 2012 entry

As it stands, yes. However, some unis have lost their physio courses for next year (Leeds met and UEL spring to mind) and so they have either cancelled the course or are saying watch this space. It is possible I guess that some might run as privately funded courses, but without the help of the NHS bursary and with tuition fees going up, that is going to be one heck of an expensive course.

If you get onto a course at one of the unis who haven't had their course cancelled then yes it will be funded.

What entry requirments is your offer? on the huddersfield website it says 320 UCAS points

I do an access course;
The UCAS website for Hudd says Overall Merit
Hudd Website says Distinctions profile with significant amount of Biological Science
My Offer says 30 Credits of 45 Credit access course has to be distinction, with ALL modules in Biology at Distiction. (Which is above 85% on our exams)
BUT I am completing a 60 credit course, (So have 2 extra biology modules than someone completing the course they based my offer on) so are they wanting 2/3 at distinction (i.e, 30 out of 45? Because on my course, 30 credits at Distinction is only 50% Distinction!
CONFUSED!!

Anyone firming Nottingham? Think i've finally made my decision..

Yea I thought no news is good news but then someone who had an interview on the same day as me got an offer within a couple of weeks

Where else u applied to?

Did the open day convince you then..? Ive firmed it for deffered entry but they have said that if any places become available through clearing (i.e people dont meet the requirements) then I can go this year!

Congrats to you that's really good! :-) Did you have an interview at notts? Haha oh sorry- my bad! My Bham interview was 23rd november. I'm surprised you've been rejected from brookes as the grades are lower, but bham and cardiff are so nice aren't they! Are you going to cardiff preview day on 18 april? Can't decide if I should firm my choices yet eeeeek! :-)

Haha yeh it did I actually cannot wait haha! (haven't firmed on Ucas track but will be doing it soon) aw that's good.. How come you didn't apply for this year?

I actually did apply for this year, they said there just werent enough places but they really liked me so if I wanted they would offer me a deffered place with the option of coming this year should a place come available.
Nottingham was always my fave and my plan was if I didnt get a place somewhere I realy liked I would take a gap year and reapply, so its all worked out for the best!

Ohhhh right!! Thats good then cause at least if you do have a gap year you've definitely got a place and won't have to hassle with all the reapplying!
Where else have you got an offer from?

Hey, i called Southampton on Monday as i have not had any response from them either. Tha admin guy said that the team were still working their way through the UCAS forms. He also said that they had been asked to speed it up and that they would be offering interviews soon, which confused me a little as i didnt think they were interviewing this year. Hope this helps and good luck.

This is probably a bit early to be thinking about but i've been wondering for a few days ...

On A level results day, track changes to unconditional if you have met your conditions for most courses, but will it do this for physio? I was thinking this because you still need to the CRB check and occupational health checks on top of meeting the requirements.

From listening to the tutors at the interviews I was at, they said the day you get your results, if you meet the offer, you need to phone them, as otherwise you wont get a place.

No they didn't even interview me oh really thats early mine was on the 2nd of Feb :L Well i know but i think there are limited places, i mean both me and 3 other friends have been rejected there for physio! Yea bham and cardiff are really nice too, although i did like the look of nottingham and brookes. Yes I am buzzin, i know i really want to get my last offer so I can firm!!

I've heard that as of next year, the NHS is only funding half of the tuition fees and the student has to cough up the remainder. That my year were the last year to get full funding? (I'm first year)

oooooooooo :s pain in the arse ermmmm huddersfield, shefield hallam, keel and york st johns and got all regections coz am doing a cadet ship so its not A levels but i get experience 2 days a week for 2 years in a hospital environment and working alongside physio's what about you ?

Ow that's annoying, same for me with Southampton and the feedback was just application not strong enough, so I guess the competition was really good! Ahh never mind though you have two offers already and hopefully a third! Cool well see you there, I've just firmed Birmingham and Cardiff although I've never seen the health dept. facilities at Cardiff so will be interesting to see it in April! No word from Keele? When's the deadline?

That's odd, so no matter what happens on results day I need to ring them? Does nothing on track change then?
