Well done on the offer from Southampton, yeah that's such a pain! Hope it all sorts itself out!

Even more of a pain that the FA haven't responded to the situation, which has led me to decline the meeting and attend the interview.

Thank you. I didn't realise there could be so many.

The Swansea course is very intense because it has been reduced from a 4 year course to 3. You have to work normal shifts in the hospital and complete your course work. Also it's a 42 week course you get 2 weeks of for Christmas, 1 for Easter and 7 in the summer.

I've currently got a chest infection and been throwing up for the past couple of days, so couldn't go, waiting for an email to come through to see if that's it from them. Conversely, my Leeds interview on Friday went well.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're ill. Hopefully you will get an offer from Leeds. :smile:

Good luck for Swansea I'm surprised that they are still interviewing since a lot of people have been accepted. Still waiting to hear if I've been accepted or rejected. The wait is killing me.

hey

the course is good in the first year to get all students on the same level we have modules that are overlapped with biomedical science modules.
It is tiring travelling to and back from placements,its 9-5.the placements are arranged for you, im in mmu so my placements can be anywhere in the northwest as far as Liverpool,Blackpool etc this year for my placements it takes me 1 hour and a half to get there and the train costs a lot(but u get reimbursed afterwards).the placements itself is really good i thoroughly enjoyed it but travel time everyday is really tiring.
you shadow physiologist so just watch them do ecg's and other complex tests,if you've chosen cardiac/respiratory.
the only problem i have with this course is that its hard to work in the evening if your getting home at 6:30/7 and for me getting just a weekend job is v hard.
lastly im in my first year :smile:

Aside from spending almost 10 and a half hours on a train, it went well. Although I'm expecting a rejected as I expect pretty much all the places have been handed out.

I didn't fancy the 4-5 hour journey from home to Leeds so I rejected the interview a few weeks ago. I'd prefer to be closer to home so I can save money on transport. Which uni is your first choice? Did Swansea give you any idea when they would let you know if you have a place?
