Diagnostic Radiography 2015

Yeh me too, I applied to Leeds, Bradford, a Teesside and Salford and am saving my 5th choice until the last minute should I not get any interviews elsewhere. I didn't want to go anywhere else so am trying to avoid more interviews than necessary, could be risky

Got an interview for BCU yesterday!!!
Been rejected from Leeds though

Really? Why would anyone not think Bangor was any good because it was Welsh and up north?

Presumably only English universities from down south are any good?

or are you Welsh and having a laugh at yourself (a guess because of the Evans in your username)?

Yeah, I was having a laugh because yes, you've guessed it, I am Welsh. Basically what Im really saying is that I've never really thought of it as one of those "Big" and "well known" unis. But as far as diagnostic radiography is concerned, it is really good in that field.

Why did you get rejected from leeds? If you don't mind me asking? Was it because of grades?

It seems to me that all the universities that do radiography seem to do a pretty good job, with good job prospects, and the "modern" universities do at least as well, and in some cases better, than the Russell Groups.

I wasnt suprised that Bangor does it well.....even if it is Welsh and Northern

If you read the thread, Squishy had already answered this. Don't make his/her pain worse. However the first of us to get an interview so that's good .....

Has anyone started taking vaccinations...

You don't need to, the uni will organise it for you when you start. Your GP will probably charge you.

The main reason for that is the HCPC vets all universities giving the course, they are all held to pretty strict requirements. You might get a tiny bit more science or such from one uni, but they all meet the requirements. Then you add in the relative shortage of radiographers and the NHS funding appropriate numbers of places for predicted future demand and a new radiographer is basically guaranteed a job if they are willing to travel, though it's still pretty likely if they stay local.

Thank you, makes sense!

I am not into all that this uni is more highly regarded than that etc. if I get offers I will pick where I think I will be happier for three years. I just hope I get an offer!

What was it? Please can you repeat?

You're spending time and effort on a forum about the topic, bit indicative that you're more invested in the topic than some people! Good luck!

Post 379, you can click on the user name and then Stats, then find all posts by that user.

grades didnt match the requirements although total overall ucas points were the same.

Offer from Liverpool!
