Hey guys! I've applied to Keele, Sheffield Hallam, Huddersfield, Northumbria and York St John. I've been invited to interview from Keele (my interviews next Tuesday aagghhh!), Sheffield and Huddersfield. Anyone else got interviews for Keele on the 4th of Jan, Huddersfield on the 12th of Jan and Sheffield on the 13th of Jan? Is anyone else reapplying for Physio this year as well as me?! I applied last year and firmed Sheffield as my first choice but unfortunately didn't get the grades I needed so I'm back a at college resitting the bits I need to!

I have one at the end of January, but I'm not sure wether to accept or not because it's my fifth choice!

Hi,

I am in my first year at Birmingham doing physio so went through this last year. I would definitely go to the interview if I was you because it gives you experience and it's highly competitive to get onto a course so it's worth it!

Thank you for the advice! I understand that it would be better to go but I've to travel far as I don't live in the UK and this would mean time out of school! I'm quite confused as to what I should do. The other preferred uni's I've applied to don't require interviews except for one which I wouldn't mind travelling for?

Hello Physio applicants!

I was in your shoes last year when I was applying. It's a very stressful experience and I know how you're all feeling. I started at University of Birmingham in September and am now on my Christmas holidays after my first term. If anyone has any questions about Physio at Birmingham or general questions about my experience of applying at all then feel free to ask me whatever and I will try and give the best advice I can. I applied to Liverpool, Nottingham, Cardiff, Hertforshire and Birmingham and had offers from Cardiff and Birmingham and interviewed at all of them apart from Liverpool so if you have any questions about interviews as well then throw them my way

Good luck

Ah okay, that makes sense! It's up to you what you do if it's going to be too far to travel but it would obviously reduce your likelihood of getting on a course somewhere if you don't interview. What are the other unis you are applying to?

I've got Sheffield on the 13th! What's the layout of the interview like? I've been to two interviews now and they've both been to different from each other

My Sheffield Hallam interview is the 20th. I applied to Northumbria and York St John as well but they haven't got back to me yet. Good luck for all your interviews!

Hi all I'm planning on applying September also, Bournemouth as I live local. I was wondering are there many mature students applying. I'm 31 this year and feel like I'm too old to apply 😩 I'm really passionate about it and currently studying an access course to get the qualifications to apply. What work experience does everyone have? I work in a gym and I'm planning on doing sports therapy level 4 (intense course) so I can work self employed and my own hours whilst I study.

Hey, when I did the maths test it was some mental maths questions doing things like percentages and fractions and other reasonably basic things. And the literacy bit was answering a scenario about the NHS I think.

The group stage was discussing issues in the NHS and that you may encounter on the course and being able to discuss well in the group.

Just basic knowledge of values and intentions of physio should be fine i think

Let me know if you want any more help

Hi

I'm a mature applicant and I've seen a fair few others on this thread. 31 is not too old at all. I met a 32 year old first year student at one my interviews. Forget about your age and follow your ambition.
