I have an interview at BCU soon as well! from the open day it seemed that the interviews there shouldn't be anything to worry about they basically said that they are just making sure the applicants know what speech and language therapy is and that they have some sort of experience! I guess we'll soon find out though! How did the DMU interview go? BCU will be my first so I'm nervous about it too!

Hi, I have an interview for DMU soon (face to face), was yours this year also? Just wondering if you have any advice? I've also applied to Leeds and BCU and wating to hear if I've got an interview When did you apply to Leeds and BCU and when did you find out if you had an interview? Just wondering how long it should take to hear from them. Also, I was under the impression that all of them were face to face interviews, is this not the case?

Like opalescent, I am not convinced you could write a successful personal statement which covered both medicine and speech and language therapy (SLT). All the medicine and SLT personal statements I have ever read have discussed how they became interested in the profession. It is not even just a case of them being different professions but they have completely different ways of working. The 'medical model' really does not work in SLT because often there is no known structural problem or medical diagnosis does not help you decide how to treat the patient. This is not to say one is better than the other, but more for you to decide which 'side' you are more comfortable working on.

A girl on my course was interested in medicine but was put off when she got some experience of this. I think she might have mentioned this in her personal statement. That shows quite rational decision making in my opinion but obviously not something you can do, especially in such a limited word count.

I was interested in medicine myself, and even had my UKCAT booked, but in the end I decided to go for SLT. I liked certain areas of medicine but there were too many areas I simply had no interest in learning and knew it would be a long slog for me if that was the case.

Hi, when did you apply to BCU and when did you find out you had an interview? I'm waiting to hear from them!

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll just email to all the unis and ask what they think and go from there, but yeah they're very different courses and its highly likely in my peronal statement it will show, but anyways thanks, where do you study?

I've had an interview at BCU and I think out of all the interviews I've had it felt the most relaxed in terms of the atmosphere but also the people there. The staff were all really nice and helpful and I wouldn't be too worried about the face to face interviews as they were all really friendly and made me feel at ease.
Good Luck

I've got interviews for, city, Leeds and Cardiff and had my BCU interview! It's nothing to worry about, very relaxed, had both written and spoken parts to it! Just make sure you're prepared for generic questions like why do you want to be a speech and language theraipist and what work experienced etc. Good luck!

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has received offers from mmu yet? I deferred my place in November so I go back this November, I can try and help with any questions you've got about the uni and the course I'm also trying to get to know a few people as I'll be entering the course at a point when you all know each other!

I applied to MMU but haven't heard back from them yet. It is my hoped-for choice as I wouldn't have to move, it's a three-year course, and I really like the psychological slant they have on their teaching. I keep compulsively refreshing my emails. I hope to get my offer and see you in November!
