Queen Mary MSc Physician Associate Studies January 2017

Hi Everyone, I thought I would start a thread for the Queen Mary PA course as there isn't one yet.

This way we can get to know anyone else who is on the course/ applying/ thinking of applying. Also, we might be able to help one another with any other queries!

I'm currently holding an offer to start in January, which I think is the only intake at the moment (correct me if I'm wrong). I have contacted Clair who said the course has passed the 2nd stage and everything is finalised :smile:

Hi ZKay,
I'm currently holding onto a place for January too! Not sure how many people passed the interview but I was told to wait until the 25th November for everything to be finalised.

Hey that's great! Yea I emailed Clair and she said the official documents should be sent out this week and that the DBS checks will be running on the 1st week of Dec :smile:

. Are you definitely sticking with Queen Mary?

Hopefully I should be. I am a little unsure of what's happening but reading your post was helpful. I get the idea that everything is a little stagnant at the moment but hopefully there's more interaction in the coming few weeks!
I'm also very inquisitive as to who received the offers from the day I was interviewed xD

It looks like the unconditional offers came out today. I just accepted mine now so hopefully we will be getting more and more info, slowly but surely :smile:

Hey,

Enrollment is on the 9th of January I believe.
I remember Clair mentioned that when I went in to hand over ID documents.

What day and time was your interview?

Hey. Have you pre-enrolled yet? Once you've done that then the next enrollment is on the 9th of Jan. I'm assuming we will get more details over the next week.

Hey guys I've already applied to Queen Mary for physician associate course and I'm waiting for a reply - they did say it will take 4 weeks to come and so I will keep waiting as It has been 3 weeks now. I'm a little unsure about UKCAT -how much do I need to secure a place?

It's going really well thanks. The course is intense but very interesting and at Barts its very hand on. We got to our GP placements within the first couple weeks and start clinical placement 3/4 months in. Let me know if you have any other questions :smile:

Is the department of Msc Physician Associate good? Is everything being organised well in terms of lectures and exam?

Hi,
I am an applicant for January 2018 entry. I haven't heard anything back yet. I called about 2 months ago when I sent in my application and they said they look over applications around July, has anyone else heard about this?
Also, I had on my undergrad degree I had to take a referral exam to take in June which has delayed my graduation until November but I hope to get a 2:1, do you think this will affect my chances of securing a place?
Thank you.

Hiya the minimum entry requirement for the programme is a 2:1 so don't worry at all. I believe the deadline for application submission is 10 September.
Definitely keep in contact with Admission and ask their input too just to be on the safe side about the delay in results. All in all good luck 😉

Sorry, I pressed return. Yes, I wondered what ballpark UKCAT score might be required. i also wanted to know how e.g. a typical week might be structured. It looks very intense and the website says some teaching is outside normal classroom hours. I live in London but the other side to QMUL - so a 1.5 hour journey by tube - would it be commutable or would I need to live near by? Thanks.

Hi everyone
I am thinking of applying for the 2018 intake. What is the funding situation now? I know last year they said they will be funding the second year but nothing online now. And also for those who have started, what is the average UKCAT score that wold help in securing a place and do you need clinical experience. Thanks!

Hope this helps, Good luck!!!
