Speech & Language Therapy 2015

I'm with you on the Leeds front - it seems weird how they said that to you on the phone yet have already given out some interviews :/
Hopefully we'll hear soon though

Interview process is quite straightforward. Group task tests team work skills and knowledge of the profession. Video task tests observation and writing skills. Presentation tests a bit of everything. I think the presentation is the best thing to excel at as two lecturers will be watching you specifically.

If Newcastle is your top choice then you could show off by saying you are aware the course is very science-y and based on problem based learning.

Exactly that's why I'm finding it so weird, I might ring again on Monday.

A part of me thinks it's due to me applying quite late on that they've both decided to be quite selective. If I'm going to get rejected I'd rather hear sooner rather than later.

Has anyone heard from Demontfort recently? I sent my application off 2nd Dec and it's definitely been 10 days now..... The only uni that said it would get back within a certain time but they're probably just very busy at the moment sorting everything out- looking for reassurance I guess!

I don't think when you applied will matter as they have to treat every application equally. I applied on the 20th October and still haven't heard anything! When did you apply?
Let me know what they say if you decide to ring!

I sent my application off and received the email from De Montfort about them getting back within 10 days. I waited around 4 weeks I think before receiving an offer for an interview. However, this was not over Christmas. It says within 10 working days, but mine was still longer than that. You might just have to wait it out a bit or you can email them.

I will do! I applied on the 28th of December, lord knows how I'd feel if I applied when you did! It'd destroy me!

Ultimately if they've got a certain amount of places and have already given offers/interviews then there's less chances -_-

The uncertainty just destroys me, I should be chilling cause of the Strathclyde offer but I want an NHS funded course for ease of life.

I feel you! It is fab that it is unconditional though! I still have to get the actual A levels before I know I'm definitely on a course!
It's even more annoying because I think Leeds is my first choice. Don't get me wrong, I'm super grateful for the offers that I've got now and I would be more than happy at either two of those unis, but Leeds is a bit closer to home for me, and I really liked it when I looked round on an open day!

Hey - I'm actually 3rd year at Reading at the moment, but I was just trying to dig out the application questionnaire for Manchester... all I could find was this:

"Question 3: List 3 features of your own communication and explain why each is important to service users/clients that you might encounter as a speech and language therapy student."

I'm not sure why I haven't got the other questions saved... but they centred around topics like prioritisation (how can they meet the needs of increasing numbers of patients without increasing numbers of SLTs) and service delivery.

Hope this is helpful! Good luck

Thank you so so much, this really has helped a lot! Well done on getting an interview too, what date is yours? Mine's on the 14th

Does anyone know what the DMU interview day is like?

Did anyone hear back from BCU this week about the outcome of interviews?

I heard from Leeds last night - interview on the 18th Feb

Congrats, when did you apply?
