Postgraduate Speech and Language Therapy 2012

Hi everyone,

Hope you've all had a great bank holiday weekend :smile:

Just a quick question to those of you have got into Essex Uni. Have you heard anything back from Paula yet?? I sent my acceptance of the place form back ages ago and haven't had an email yet! Just wanted to check that you were all in the same position? Xxx

Hey Rachel,

Sorry my phone won't let me quote you!! I heard back from Paula on wednesday, she said she'd received my acceptance letter and that I had been registered for the bursary so just waiting for my number to come through. Also, it looks like my cheque has been cashed, so that's one way of checking if she has received your letter. Hope that helps xxx

Hello all! I've never been on here before - only came on through someone else's suggestion and now I've found just what I was looking for!

I've been accepted to Essex for speech therapy as well - my interview was the 1st of May so same as you lollypop? I think I remember you - if you said you're the girl from Liverpool then I definitely do! I was in your group interview with you.

I had a bit of extra email stuff from an admin man at Essex as they helpfully lost the copy of my degree certificate that they took on the interview day. And Paula also said that I (so assume we) should hear from PG Admissions within the next couple of weeks and that I've been registered (so again assume we all have) for the bursary so again we hear from them in due with a number which we use to complete the bursary application.

Its all highly exciting!

Thanks Laura! So were you! Although its impossible to know what they're looking for in those kind of situations eh?

Now I definitely remember what you look like and what you were like (very nice, of course!) etc so I definitely know who you are, but its either you or one other person on that day that also had someone in the army... I'm 90% sure its you - tell me my memory is perfectly correct? Haha

Hey,

nope i've not heard anything yet, although my cheque has been cashed so I'm assuming she's received my acceptance letter! I'm getting quite impatient waiting to hear more so hopefully we'll get the next email this week. Yep, I think setting up a facebook group would be a good idea :smile:

Hi girls,

I'm just looking into finances for the course and just wanted to check it's only the nhs bursary you can apply for? Not a student loan aswell?

Thanks

Hey,

I got an e-mail from Paula, but I emailed her first so that's why. It just said to wait for an e-mail from post grad admissions and nhs basically. They also helpfully lost my degree transcript too, so had an e-mail about that xxx

Hey Laura, you can apply for an NHS bursary and if that isn't enough you can apply for a career development loan through Barclays/ the Co Op (this is a low interest loan of up to £10,000 for people doing postgrad/ vocational courses). You won't be able to get a student loan if you took one out for a previous degree.

Hi Jennifex,

Thanks for your help! I'll look into those options.

I know, you just see them writing and it makes you really paranoid wondering is it good or bad things lol. Yes thats me- haha my boyfriend's just been posted to Germany for the next two years - at least I wont feel so bad about neglecting him seeing as how we'll be having zero social life lol!! :colondollar:

Rachel - yes a facebook group is a good idea - have you just volunteered to set it up? How nice of you... :tongue:

Laura (lollypop Laura!) - Yay I knew it was you! You were very nice too, so nice to have you on the course! Germany?! And for 2 years!! How often will you see him? I suppose I can't complain about the distance between London and Windsor now really haha. No social life is pretty much correct eh. Hmm. Oh well! We'll all somehow make our own fun...

Gemma - kind of annoying isnt it, losing the copy of what you brought them! Luckily I had a scan of mine saved on my computer - hope you've managed to sort out getting yours to them? He suggested sending it in the post - no way!

Yeah it was annoying but I just sent mine in the post as it's just a current transcript, not my final one as I graduate in July and will get my final one then. xxx

Yes I don't mind setting a Facebook group up :smile:

Gonna wait until i've heard back from Paula first though.....otherwise knowing my luck I would set it all up and then be told that the Uni haven't received my acceptance letter and cheque, lol! xxx

Ha well any distance is tough! Think we're gonna plan for 2 weekends a month to see each other. At least I'm sorted for a holiday destination for the next couple of summers :-) I got an email today with the online CRB aplication and my number and everything so I'm guessing everyone should be getting that through soon :-D xxxxx

Reply 978

Yeah I suppose Germany is a bit of a nicer holiday destination than the current classic army hotspots - i.e. Afghanistan!

Yeah I got the CRB email through today too and just completed it - it looks like we just turn up to the registry office on the campus at any point? So, not specific to our course or going anywhere specific to us either. The website says its open 10-12 and 3-4 until the 16th of july, monday-friday. Better choose a train journey...
