Speech & Language Therapy 2015

Like Madagascar mentioned, it may be worth looking into a Lang science or Linguistics degree and do postgrad because in total it'll only be an additional year! Also, I remember you saying you've only applied to two unis, if you really want to do a SaLT undergrad then perhaps you should apply to unis further afield and use all 5 choices cause you're drastically narrowing your options otherwise.

Hey Nesca, I'm sure that having had an extra year of experience and also time to reflect on your application and interview experiences last year that you will be fine this year and will be offered a place

On the off chance that you are not, perhaps it would be worth looking into phonetics and linguistics/speech science degree through clearing and then doing a post grad slt course? I totally understand about it taking longer but if you have your heart set on being a slt then maybe it is worth the wait instead of studying for a career that you will always feel to be a second choice? doing a speech science degree followed by a post grad slt course will take five years whereas the straight undergrad slt course takes 4 years at most unis anyhow. A year really isn't that long in the whole grand scheme of things.

But... positive thinking, I'm sure that you will be fine for a place this year as you can show that you haven't given up hope and have developed since your last application. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you x

Thank you for your reply I've thought about what everybody has said and it makes sense. I am really glad that I Decided to ask for advice on here because it's made me feel that I won't be feeling too distraught if I don't get a place. I could go and do a psychology degree and then apply for post grad. Fingers crossed I get in this year anyway but now I have a back up I feel much better

Pleased you're feeling better about it and we were able to help - I really do think you will get in this year though 😊 If you aren't successful at either Manchester or man met will you accept one of the the other unis you have applied to?

I'm not really sure, I'll have a little think about it. I really don't want to move so at the moment it's a no, but things change don't they. Haha. Hopefully I'll get a successful from man met this week, last year they gave offers on 6th Jan! So fingers crossed hehe

Oh fingers crossed- I'll be hoping for you all week!

Thanks! Would you be up for a coffee/chat some time (maybe Weston Park museum café?) to tell me a bit more about the course at Sheffield and what it's like as a 'mature' student?

Hi, I have an interview at Manchester met and another at Sheffield coming up for undergrad speech therapy but I have no idea what the written interview will involve. Has anyone had interviews there already or knows what kind of questions will be asked? (I've also applied to Newcastle, Manchester and DMU but haven't heard back from them yet) Thanks for any help

Hi all, I've finally joined this site after about 2 years of lurking!! Submitted my UCAS application off towards the end of November and have only applied to BCU due to location issues. Currently at the stage of checking my email and Track ridiculous amounts of times each day but as yet haven't heard a single thing!!!!!

Welcome! Don't worry about not hearing anything - unis have a lot of applications to sift through and they're all on holiday at the moment sure you'll hear soon!

Best of luck with your application. I guess things have slowed down with the Christmas break, but hopefully we should all start hearing things in the next few weeks! It's all so exciting and nerve wracking at the same time! I don't think there is any need to worry yet that you haven't heard from them.

Thank you for the welcome, much appreciated! This process feels a bit overwhelming at times, I was quite confident to begin with but can feel that confidence slowly waning! I agree that I shouldn't be stressing too much at this stage but now that people have started to receive offers the pressure's definitely on!!!!

Yep, 'crazy' seems an appropriate word to describe my mental state too lol! I think I recognize your name from lurking on last years thread so hats off to you for going through this all over again! Hope you hear something positive this week, I'm praying I do too!!

It is just so hard, especially when it's something you desperately want. I'm hoping we all get some positive news, preferably tomorrow! Haha. Good luck!

I think tomorrow might be a long day! Fingers crossed.

Very long day ahead of us tomorrow! I've even emailed admissions mid December so waiting for a reply from them is horrific! Am I still the only part time applicant? Boo hoo!
