Radiography ???

im thinking of applying to Ucas to do either radiography or physiotherapy, i know its very late at this stage, but can you apply for both these courses in the one application ? and is it hard to get into radiography courses ? and if anyone is doing radiography can they tell me a bit about the course , thanks

yeah it was the ps that i was worried about fitting them both in on, and how to work my ps around two courses

im hoping to get in on Extra for next September, not sure exactly which uni's ,whatever still has vacancies i suppose

the following uni's have extra vacancies:

bournemouth
coventry
east london
hertfordshire
northumbria

If had to pick I'd probably say:

coventry
bournemouth
hertfordhsire
northumbria
east london

but thats just me

courses at coventry, bournemouth and herts = very good

I'd get your app in early though as there were alot more places through extra a few weeks ago

quite a few places become available through clearing due to high entry requirements

if you've no physio work experience at the mo then I would highly suggest youd on't apply as you're chances of getting in are practically zero...

Really ??? no iv no previous experience or anything. applying for this is more of backup plan cos i had applied to GTTR to do primary teaching, and iv had nothing but one problem after another with it, and i still dont have a placement yet, so as i was panicking over that , i decided to look at other options that is why im so late applying , and have no research done on courses or unis. i was worried about lack of work experience and
placements and did wonder if it would affect chances of being accepted onto a course

they love work experience - at least hospital related even if not physio

you're chances are slim to none of getting in without it

thanks for all the help and advice. i think i will not apply now because not much point really. i graduated last may so this is my year out, i dont think i could take another year next year. i took a year out to figure out whether i wanted to do primary teaching or go the physio or radiography route, because i wasnt sure which i would prefer to do. i decided to get some experience in both areas during my year off ito help me make my mind up. i did work experience as teaching assisstant for 5 weeks last may/june and because i liked it so much i decided on teaching route and got further 2 months experience in school and educational setting to help with my application for teaching. because i liked the teaching so much i decided to pursue that , and didnt follow my plan of taking physio work experience after teaching experience was done. so when my application for teaching has come to nothing so far, i started to panic, and look for other options for next september so that i was not stuck with nothing to do.so i returned to my physio idea in hopes that that would work, even though i knew my lack of work experience and knowledge would be a problem.

thanks for all the help, i find this whole process a bit confusing and scary, so advice is much appreciated !!

yeah i did think of graduate entry, but i thought that would b harder to get into/accepted, but mayb not, of course it is worth a try !!! and a later course start date would really suit, especially as i could fit in work experience and shadowing or something during that time.

it was an arts degree, english and sociology. in sociology i did a module in sociology of sport, and also 3 modules health related, but im not sure if that would be useful or relevant for doing physio. my results were nt great- i only got a 2:2 in english and only a pass in sociol. i didnt do A levels cos im not from Uk, im from Ireland,i did 8 subjects for my final year exams that would b equivalent to A levels, one of the subjecs being biology

thats great, thanks a mill for that, il look into them now
