Those applying for Speech Sciences / Speech and Language Therapy / SLT for 2010 Entry

Hey

and yay! I was beginning to think I was the only one going to Leeds! and yeahh Norwich was such a nice city but Leeds was much better overall and Yorkshire seems like a nicer area to do placements too

which accomodation have you applied for?

Ooh exciting! I haven't heard yet. Did they email you?

I am really hoping I get Stenton or Mackinder. Really like the idea of having my own bathroom! hehe!

Well done on Stenton, looks gorgeous and so close to sooo many other halls! and a nice corner of the campus, near the sports park! I would recommend trying to work part time or on a bank basis alongside your degree if you can. Something related to SLT is really beneficial. I am a support worker for people with learning disabilities and visual impairments, as well as teaching my own groups art and textiles and work in a bar. Alot of my friends work in shops such as Gap and as waitresses. At reading there are are alot of opportunities to work and do paid psychology studies. Try and save up alot over the summer. Also at Reading you get loads of emails of events work like newbury races, ascot and henley regatta. so loads of chances to do one off kind of work.

They ask you to forecast your expenses for the coming academic year, and you have to provide original documents to substantiate your claims, so the tenency agreement is defo for student accommodation. There must be a way around this, as I won't know what halls I get until september i think, and i expect the bursery place are used to this.

On another note... will be abroad for 3 months this summer coming back a week before uni. They ask for passport and driving liscense which isn't going to be possible for me as I need them both. Have no idea what to do about that, will give them a ring 2 morro I think. HOPE they won't be all jopsworth over it...

thank you that sounds great about the jobs! you don't find it hard to juggle a job and your studies then?

thanks that's good to hear!

and i just got my NHS bursary letter through, so hopefully everyone will get their's soon!

Hey thanx alot for your reply, Do u know what the ritten interview was like. I m going back to education after 5 years after having two kids, very nervous feel as though ive forgotten so much. it'l be a great help.

So...I had a look on my application and my status has changed to accepted but I haven't been offered anything yet. Also, it says 'Hil Accepted' which I think is Hillside... I am a mature student (almost 29 eek!) and Hillside is for mature students so hopefully it'll be okay. I was hoping for Stenton or Mackinder as they sound so nice. Nev mind! hehe!

yeah if you hover the mouse over hil accepted it'll tell you what it stands for. did you not put hillside down at all then?

When I hover the mouse over 'Hil Accepted' it just says 'Accepted by Hall'. Ah well, I'm sure it'll be fine. I did put Hillside down yeah, it was just the bottom of my list!

I know it is quite far away from the Pyschology building but 12 mins walk is okay I reckon. I just hope it's alright!

Id say that was more 30 minutes from Hillside!!

Hi again, As part of the interview at bcu on the entry requirements they say they strongly reccommed you to visit a speech and language therapy service. All the ones i have rang want a crb done. They take up 2 about 3 months to come back. I rang bcu and they said they strongly recommend i find one as it will help me pass my interview. Do you knw of any speech and language therapy service in birmingham that let you vist for the day. Thanx
