Hi there, thank you for your message. International students will need to apply for the course directly to the university on this link https://www.southwales.ac.uk/apply/ Entry requirements are: ABB - BBC to include Biology and one other Science subject which must be either Chemistry, Psychology, Physical Education, Mathematics or Physics and to exclude General Studies. An IELTS (or equivalent) minimum average score of 6.0 is required for non-UK applicants. More details regarding the modules studied, career progression etc can be found here https://www.southwales.ac.uk/courses/master-of-chiropractic/. The deadline for courses will be up until roughly 20 September 2022 (depending on if we still have places on the course available). You can apply now! If I can help further please do let me know.

Yo what's up!

I'm looking to study Strength & Conditioning next year and I'm also looking at Glos and Derby for the same course; considering St Marys, Twickenham. I'm also interested in Sports and Exercise Nutrition at either BCU or Leeds Beckett, but I can't decide tbh.

In terms of how I feel, I just wanna get outta London tbh; seeing the same faces and hearing about the same drama is tedious now.

Anyone else looking to do S&C, or is studying it atm???

Yo @rg972! I hope you are well. There are some student stories here on this link, https://www.southwales.ac.uk/courses/bsc-hons-strength-and-conditioning/. Our Twitter S&C account is @USW_SandC where you could directly ask questions, and talk to other S&C students. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any specific questions. Thanks

Hi, I am looking at studying the Master of Chiropractic in 2022. I was just wondering how much support or help you get finding placements or if you have to seek them on your own?
Also how many contact hours do you get with tutors if you need feedback or support, as i have seen a few previous students didn’t get many?

Hi @prob1234 most of the placements will be undertaken on campus at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic Clinic. Year 4 is the clinic placement part of the course and usually lasts for 13 months. Students also have a one week placement at a local hospital which is organised by the university. I am not sure how many contact hours you would get with your tutors, but I do know all of our students are very well supported by both academic members of staff and our student support services.

We have an online open day on Saturday (or an on campus one in October and November, if you wanted to ask our lecturers these subject-specific questions, the link to book your place is here https://www.southwales.ac.uk/open-days/. Alternatively, the course leader can be contacted on [email protected]. I hope this helps, please let me know if I can help further.

Hi I’m looking to apply for the psychology undergrad course. I have already got my a levels which are an A in accounting and a B in Economics. I just wanted to ask about the entry requirements and whether you go by the profile of the typical 3 a-levels or are 2 fine as I have 88 UCAS points which falls into the range of 80-104 the course requires.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long winded question.
