I'm applying to SLT Masters courses (background in Linguistics).
I heard that the main difference between the London courses is that City is more practical whereas @UCL is more research-based.
What are the differences between the courses at @Sheffield and Leeds Beckett?
Thanks in advance if anyone has any insight / impressions of even just one of them!
(Also might consider MMU and QMU, so if anyone has any insight on what it's like at these unis I'd appreciate it.)

From what I know of Sheffield it was quite medical-based in its focus, compared to somewhere like DMU where a bigger emphasis was placed on the psychological aspects of things. In the end though - as long as it's a course that leads to HCPC registration, you end up with the knowledge to do the same job and where you went to do your degree/masters really doesn't matter that much - apart from SLT being quite a ridiculously small world at times (and people tend to get known within the area they specialise in as they move around posts) so you tend to run into people and have the "oh do you know X" conversations a LOT of the time!
Anyone got an invitation to the interview yet??

If you're applying to uni for Speech and Language Therapy for 2024 entry, introduce yourself to fellow applicants, ask questions and share your experience of applying so far:
Undergraduate or post graduate course?
Which universities are you (hoping) to apply for? Entry requirements?
Firm choice?
Insurance choice?
Work/shadowing experience?
Anything else?
Share as little or as much as you are comfortable with.
Please don't share details of interview questions on the forum - it gives those who follow you an unfair advantage.

Heyy I'm applying for Speech and Language Therapy for a 2024 entry and the university I'm hoping to get into and would be my firm choice is Reading University. I love the structure of the course and the amount of hands on experience you get whilst learning and it's an integrated masters course so I'll be done and dusted in 4 years which is great!
I have also applied to City university, University of Manchester and University of Essex.
As for work experience I do feel a little behind as I haven't done much besides working with SEN pupils in my school and briefly speaking to a Speech and Language Therapist. There aren't many opportunities for work experience near me and I would like to gain proper experience before starting uni next year.
I'm also an extremely shy person and I feel as though I'll struggle a lot with the transition between A-Levels and uni, especially socially. I'd love to have someone to talk to about this whole process and just in general, I study Biology, English Literature and Psychology currently in case anyone's wondering but yeah, it's nice to meet you all

Hey, I'm applying for undergraduate Speech and Language Therapy for a 2024 start, and the universities I'm hoping to get into are City University of London and Greenwich University.
I would love supporting individuals with communication disorders, such as speech impediments or language delays.
I'm studying sociology, psychology, and economics for my A levels.

Hello! I’m applying for the MSc in SLT for 2024. I have about 10 years experience working in Early Years education as a teacher and nursery SENCO. My question for you: 9 years on from your student days, what, would you say, has surprised you the most about working as an SLT? Also, did you know which area of work you would pursue, when you first began your studies (or did this change on placement or through knowledge gained on the course)? Thank you in advance for your reply!

Hi!! I’m hoping to firm Newcastle too, your experience sounds amazing I’m sure you’ll have no trouble getting an offer! I applied end of September and haven’t heard anything yet so I’m getting a bit nervous, I’m not sure if Newcastle do rolling admissions for SLT or not?? Anyway good luck I hope we’ll both be there in September

I think you may have quoted the wrong person - I haven't studied SLT.
But welcome to the thread.

) i think your settings might mean i can’t message you but i will comment my IG user on your post!Hello! I’m applying for the MSc’s in London - I had my interview with city yesterday and got my offer through today! So excited!
I’m waiting to hear back from UCL about interviews etc however I have to accept/reject my city offer by 6/12. If I accept it now and get an offer from UCL later could I change my mind about city? I’m imagining lots of people will be in the same position so keen for some advice!
