Speech & Language Therapy 2015

If you don't mind me asking why did you hate leeds? Was there one particular thing you didn't like or an accumulation of different things?
I totally understand if you don't want to answer..!

I can't quite pinpoint why I didn't like it, I just didn't like the feel of the university and I wasn't a fan of the city either. I wasn't overly keen on the staff either I suppose! But other people have really nice things to say about it so I guess everyone is different

If we're going on the support from staff on the Speech & Language Therapy course at Leeds Beckett they get 5* from me. They are very supportive, always on hand when you need them, even if it means answering an email to you at 2am.

Well that sounds very good. I just didn't think much of them when I was there for my interview. Obviously it's just the impression I got off them but either way it definitely wasn't a university for me. I'm made up I've got MMU as that was my favourite out of all of them

You still a happy bunny I see!

Cant believe first year is nearly over its gone so fast - had a barrage of results recently and now its the final push with the last coursework and then the dreaded exams lol. You don't know what you are letting yourself in for hehehe.

But you are right - there is no one size fits all as far as the unis go - you have to pick whats most suited to you (although I was in the Leeds fan club)

I'm still very happy, just got my letter from NHS with how much I'm getting and stuff so it's all sorted

Oo how did you do with your results? And tbh I love exams, I generally perform better in them then in coursework!

You are ahead of me - waiting for NHS to email me asking me to re-apply!

Results going ok so far but like you I do prefer exams to coursework! We must be weird or something! It's good to be making progress and I promise not to laugh next year when you are doing the same things and I am more involved in psychology (which at least is not completely new to me unlike the SLT topics).

It's all good fun!

It's reassuring to see that others are filling in the finance forms at the moment.

A question about SFE... some of the posts mention applying for a reduced loan. I answered that I was a qualified teacher with QTS on the initial page (as I am!) and had a pdf to complete. There is no box about a reduced loan - do I want the maximum available or a specified amount were the only questions.

Are there any other teachers out there who could help me as I was going to print it and post it this week.

Thank you!

Well it's good that we are similar, and instead of laughing at me you can help me with my work teehee

We all help each other don't worry - facebook is alive with questions! You get a mentor too who has done first year who you can meet with and quiz - but in the end you work your way through it all and get there in the end!

No laughter I promise ...

I think in most cases you can't but on our case you can as it leads to a professional qualification so you are still entitled to a reduced maintenance loan

Reduced loans are for those who do not want to be financially means tested or those studying on NHS courses. SFE will know you want a reduced loan from your course.

I would have another go at applying online as it is a much easier process.

Does anyone want to make a facebook group for BCU speech therapy 2015? would like to talk to future pupils ^_^
