Unsuccessful Physiotherapy Choices

I have applied to 5 different unis and 3 applications were unsuccessful and likely to be unsuccessful with the other 2 as they have higher standards and requirements.
Are physiotherapy courses usually available during clearing and if so is it difficult to get in? 1 was unsuccessful as I was told my grade in biology wasn't high hiqh in in enough (the required bio grade
was a B) Do unis lower thier requirements during clearing? And what unis have low requirements for
physiotherapy?
What are your predicted grades and did you apply to any unis where your predictions meet or exceed the entry requirements? It is impossible to predict if any courses will be in clearing but you don't have to wait for clearing. If you receive all your decisions by 28 February and you don't have any offers, then you can add another choice using UCAS Extra. If this is unsuccesful, then you can add another.

To find courses with lower entry requirements, use the UCAS course search and put in your UCAS tariff points by using the search filters:

Also consider courses that offer a foundation year.

I do have my grades. They are international grades but there's a misconception that a grade 3 fro my awaeding body is equivalent to a C in A level however a grade 3 is more like a B/B+. I was told I needed a B equivalent so there's not much I could do there. Is applying through clearing successful for physiotherapy?

Try using UCAS extra and if that is not successful then only clearing. If you are an international student, some universities allow direct application. You can explore that option too.
