Speech & Language Therapy 2015

The uni of manc written interview questions completely threw me, wasn't expecting them at all :/

What did you email them saying? And um think between February and march, it's super scary x

2 interviews down and just waiting on Leeds Becket!! I'm beginning to wish I'd applied to 4 speech therapy courses and 1 linguistics rather then 3 and 2 but I was too pessimistic about my chances! Just waiting on Leeds Becket to see if I've got an interview now!


It was so nice to chat to everyone I met at manchester met today and Birmingham City on Monday!! I hope everyone gets the offers they want and that in 3/4 years time we'll all be competing with each other to snatch a job

Yeah I'm not too nervous about the rest we were on floor 2 hehe

Just being nosey cos I didn't apply to Birmingham last year but were the written questions similar to MMU?

Nope... Nothing like!!! I'd explain why but I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to put on this website about the interviews!

I have to say I thought Sheffield was the worst interview experience I had last year - they were not very forthcoming and at times seemed to be trying to put people off - a current student has commented earlier with similar points about their interview style. I also had the feeling that they were really looking for more mature applicants (I was doing my A levels at the time) as the emphasis seemed to be on your experience (which is limited at 17!). I would be interested to know what the ratio is between mature students and college leavers. They kept everyone waiting a long time too. I know its a good university but it didn't do it for me.

It wouldn't do if we all liked the same things and it goes to show that each uni has its own preferences too.

Good luck to everyone with interviews and I hope todays interviews at BCU went well.

Guys, I'm getting really nervous. I thought I had been doing ok, until I noticed that everyone else got interviews at DMU, and that some people already have offers from Reading. I already know that I didn't get into DMU, but has EVERYBODY heard from Reading? I haven't heard anything and I'm starting to think that I won't get in anywhere However, the interview at BCU was great fun and it was awesome meeting everyone even if I don't get in, it was nice to meet everyone.

I'm there on Wednesday next week, where they bad? Are they speech therapy based? Haha

Obviously i can't go into too much detail but i just thought they were not very straightforward and not what i was expecting. Some people probably got on aright with it tho!

I think it depends, I had an interview there last year and I was 2 points off getting in! Grr! But I remember the questions not being what I expected. It would be very useful if they were same questions as last time haha

This is really really useful advice, thank you, especially as I'm applying to Sheffield as a mature student of a similar age as you. I also didn't do that well in my a-levels equivalent (abroad) but got a first in my BA degree, linguistics with a focus on language pathology, and lots of relevant additional modules. It was a bit humiliating to enter all of my awful a-levels into the ucas system though.
Are you in your first year? How long did it take for you to get offered an interview?
Sheffield is great indeed, I moved here last year and love it

I have been through two application cycles and did not mention my laughable A level results either time. Received offers in both cycles and it was not mentioned at all. Rookie mistake mentioning them!
