MSc Physiotherapy Northumbria

Hi, Im starting the msc course in March 2016: just wondering when you received details of the course (start date/structure/term dates etc) after accepting your offer? Also do you have a rough idea of term dates (is there still standard uni holidays or do placements happen over summer?)
Thanks

Hey,
We all got the details pretty late.. I can't remember fully.. But in Jan time you will go up for a day to meet class and teachers etc..

Start date is in March, can't remember what date, and we get 6 ish weeks off over summer, 3 ish weeks off over xmas, and in your second year an extra few weeks off over easter.

Hello, I'm starting in March 16 too! Are you in university full time or just 2/3 days a week? I got the dates from the admissions team and they said you only get 3 weeks off in summer from 5/8 to 29/8?

Hello guys,

I am applying for the MSc commencing 2017.

I was hoping you could give me some insight into the interview process? I have attended some that have been panel based. I imagine it is this type of interview. If so, was there a particular emphasis on research? Or do they explore typical reasons for applying and dealing with pressure etc...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Liam

Hey Luke,

Thanks.

Are you on the course now? How is it up there?

Hey Pal,

When i was interviewed, it began with everyone together on a lecture hall where they spoke about the uni, the course a bit of a tour. Then it was individual interviews with 2-3 lecturers. Mine wasnt very research based, spoke a bit about my dissertation but dont dwell on it. Main focus is your pssion for phyiso, your exeperiences. Be fun smiley and have a bit of a laugh with them to lighten the mood. They like the enthusiasm. They will probably give you some scenarios.. Easy stuff though they just want to see your thinking process as MSc is different way of learning to BSc. Keep it simple and basics. Straight up logical thinking. good luck!
