Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012Hi Debs
I've not heard anything at all. I think the only thing I've had from UWE is a reminder to upload my Access certificate when I have it, and also an invite to an information afternoon if I've not been to an open day.
Hope you are well - I'm writing genetics essays today and wishing I was outside in the sunshine instead!!

Have a fantastic time! I'm really envious- I'm sure you will have an amazing experience.
To everyone- I eventually got a reply from Vanessa about the length of the course, but I don't think it's definitive. She thinks 39 weeks, so fingers crossed she's right.
50/50 chance of the warden's job sounds positive too.
Keep in touch and let us know all about the trip!
See you all soon.

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012Congratulations and good luck, the tutors were lovely and seemed to really want to be there and want you to be there too, although I came out of my interview unsure if it had gone well or not (so was shocked when offered a place!) -
