Hello people
I don't know if there are only UK students studying diagnostic radiography or does other EU students apply to it? But Im gonna post this anyway, hoping to get an answer because the Swedish forums are not helpful. They are pretty much for people that wants to study economics or similar courses at oxford, Cambridge.
I'm planing to apply to diagnostic radiography but the thing is I don't really know if I have the qualifications for it. I have sent a mail to St George's but the woman there was not helpful, she just redirected me to their website. Which didn't help me at all. Is not like I don't understand it, it's just confusing with the A-levels and GCSEs.
Im a Swedish citizen and so we have a different school system, I didn't go to an IB school just a "regular" Swedish upper secondary school and with the old grading system (I graduated in 2009) we just have four grades, fail, pass, pass with distinction and pass with special distinction. I have pretty much studied all science subjects there are in Sweden at this level.
I haven't got the best grades, mostly pass with distinction and if I have to translate it, it would be a C. Except in math a, b and e were I just passed. Do you think this would be a problem for me?
I passed in physics A to but in physics B I got pass with distinction. But the other science subjects I have the highest grade.
About the language, I know I have to write the IELTS and get an 7 if I want to study at a Uni. in London.
I have heard that most universities don't like people taking gap years except when they are doing volunteer work, which I have done a bit. (At the red cross second hand boutique but I don't think it matters in this case). But Im about to start my third gap year but Im gonna work in Englad as I did last year.
Is there a possibility that I would get accepted or are the grades not that important.
If anyone knows anything, just anything of this, it would be great.
