Has you been offered your firm offer yet? My doctor took ages to sign my health declaration but sent it off a week ago and still not had the firm offer! I want to get on and apply for accomodation! Where are you thinking of living? x

I have it was just a group task. I got feedback the next day saying that I did not get a place so you find out quickly. I am not too upset though as I already have a place. Make sure you talk about Problem based learning.....I forgot to! x

My doctor took forever too! I only accepted the firm offer a week ago and I think they are more relaxed with the timelines than they initially said :-) I'm thinking of trying to find other postgrads either there already or starting in September and do a house share. Where are you thinking of? :-)

I want to do that for 2nd year but I just got halls to start off with. Too much stuff to sort out as it is!

hey, I'm interested in doing Occupational Therapy too :smile:

I've just graduated uni with a 2:1 in sport science, but studying modules in Exercise Testing & Prescription for Health and Psychology made me realise I want to go into a career where I can help people :smile:

However, I know this is a heavily female dominated area, and I'm actually nervous/intimidated by this lol! Does anyone know of any guys who do this?

I work in a mental health hosptial and there are loads of male OTs............you get male patients so you need male OTs. Your probs more likely to be employed because there are less males x

Hey All. I was wondering if you could help me. I graduated in 2009 with a law degree which I've not used. I've decided I'd like to work in healthcare and in considering the pre-reg OT course or the three year degree in OT. Will I be considered for the pre-reg as my first degree is completely unrelated providing I get shadowing experience? If it is accepted is it worth doing a healthcare diploma or physiology / biology course before undertaking this pre reg course? I've Googled and ITEC level 3 physiology and anatomy course has come up..but unsure if I would need this? Or ive looked at doing a part time human health and physiology GCSE . Or would these be pointless? Any help would be much appreciated :-)

Hi Guys, does anybody know how long Teeside University take to get back to you with regards to your application? Even more helpful if you know when they get back to you about 2015 January MSc entry? :smile:

After waiting months, they finally sent me their decision for MSc pre reg 2015 entry last week for physiotherapy, so I wouldnt expect you have too much longer to wait :smile:

Okay, did they interview you too? How long did they take to get back to you regarding doing an interview? And if so, how did it go? I know you're on a different course but I'm interested to hear :smile:

Yeah I was offered the interview about 2 weeks after I applied but that was back in April and I've only just heard, I got an offer but missed my 2:1 by 3% so I can't go. Will end up on a 3 year course next year probably
