Scroll to see replies

Hi all, I am also off to study physiotherapy this year. I applied to Bournemouth, Brighton, Teeside, Bristol, and Liverpool and got 4 interviews and 3 offers. If anyone wants any advice on any of these unis or the application process feel free to ask.

Hi im going to see Brighton this weekend. Any advice for interviews as this is something that i have very little knowledge of.
Thanks

Anyone here know if its alright to talk about a lot about sport in personal statement since NHS funding dropped for 2017 entry? Hence, would it be sensible to just get sporting work experience? Lastly, would having the Extended Project help?

hey, try keep sport as a minimal focus, went to an open day last week (to ask questions regarding starting this september) and the course leader stressed how they want to hear that you have an understanding for the wide range of areas within physio; even though funding has been dropped, the profession is still the same and include if your statement is sports based then they often recommend you for the sports therapy course instead! hope this helps!

Is anyone going to Uni of Hertfordshire in September? If so is there a group chat for us all?

Also, I want to start some early reading over summer. Can anyone recommend any books that are good to read for physiotherapy, like anatomy/physiology books?

I seriously considered it for a while, seems like a good option if you're interested in musculoskeletal Physiotherapy as it focuses on that from the start

Hi, how are you finding the course in general, is it quite challenging? Just wondering as well if you need to buy a stethoscope? :smile:

Hi im just wondering if £2300 is the maximum loan physios can get without having dependents etc?

Ill be moving out in accomodation that costs £4500per year and £2300 just seems like a very small amount, I will also be working 20 hours poer week to help me through it.

I know theres no course fees, but how do they expect us live through uni with such a low maintanence loan?
