Congratulations!

Hey,

Is anyone firming Strathclyde? I've got offers from Manchester and Newcastle aswell but want to firm Strathclyde. The problem is the NHS grant doesn't apply in Scotland and i'm not entitled to any bursary from SAAS but would get a decent bursary from NHS in England. Does anyone know of anywhere else you can apply for bursaries in Scotland for AHP degress ?Apart from SAAS cos the bursary threshold is much lower for SAAS than the NHS bursaries. I know the Scottish gov health directorate used to give out a bursary but they have revoked it for AHP degrees now. Does anyone have any more info?

Congrats, I Got one too yesterday ☺️I think I'm definitely picking there as my firm!

I seriously can't believe I'm actually typing this but...I have received an offer for BCU OMG!!!!! Yay!!! So unbelievably happy right now, it doesn't even feel real to me at the moment...I'm so happy for all of us!!!!

Congrats! It's a wonderful feeling isn't it!!!

Congrats! It doesn't feel real does it? Mental to think it's actually happening!

You've had to wait an awful long time! Made up for you!

Are we at the end of the offer cycle now!?

NHS Bursary is an online application (then you have to send them bits and pieces like your passport proof of earnings etc - they will tell you what you need to send). Everyone has to apply (and will get) NHS funding - at the very least it pays your tuition fees to the uni and (I think) everyone qualifies for £1K minimum in addition to the tuition fees. I qualify for a larger bursary because of my household income but any additional monies are means tested - there is an online calculator so you can get an idea of what monies you will get. I also get a reduced loan from SFE but don't know if having had previous funding will mean you are ineligible for this part.

I know a few of us are still waiting for DMU, but I think most of the offers have come in.
Getting serious now!

I'm surprised people still haven't heard back!

I thought they said the 26th of March at the interview! Dunno what I'd do if I was still waiting for them. You got any other offers?

Yep, I've got other offers - so I'm lucky.

I was only holding on because I was really considering firming DMU (if they gave me an offer), but now I'm almost certain that I'm going to firm Plymouth I'm actually considering withdrawing - I just haven't got round to it yet (and there's probably some little part of me that's not quite ready to give up on it just yet!)

Thanks for your ongoing support! Re The NHS Bursary, do you know approximately how long they keep your passport for before returning it to you.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to choose between Manchester and UEA, I just don't know which one would be better! Does anyone have any things to consider about either of them? I have an unconditional from UEA if I put it as my firm, but I'm worried about whether there's actually anything to do in Norwich! Thanks

I did my first degree at UEA and can honestly say I had the best 4 years there! The campus always has a great atmosphere and feels like a community. It's really easy to meet friends at the SU in between lectures etc. Norwich itself is a lovely city, it depends what you like to do but there's plenty of great coffee bars, restaurants and bars. Chapelfield is the main shopping centre and there's every shop you need there really! I also played lacrosse and loved being part of a society because it's a great way to meet more people and the socials were fab too. UEA also do 'pimp my barrow' every year where 5 students to a team have to choose a theme for their wheelbarrow and then dress up and do a pub crawl basically - it's such a fun day! Hope this helps

Ah okay thank you, and is Norwich interesting enough to live in? What's the nightlife like? I'm a bit worried about the fact that it's a campus uni, as it seems to be a bit cut off from everything else!
