Hi, I'm an SLT applicant, I've applied to MMU, Manchester, BCU and Leeds Beckett, received a rejection from both Manchester Uni's , really gutted as I wanted to go there. I've also received two interviews from BCU and Leeds Beckett. Is there any possibility of going through clearing/Adjustment on results day for the Mancherster Uni's? As I saw on last years thread a girl got in to UoM on results day through adjustment.

Possibly yeah! I'm doing English Language, Applied Science and History, I based my A-levels around the fact I wanted to do primary education when I first started Sixth Form but when I discovered SLT I realised it was more suited to me :smile: How about you?


Biology, Chemistry and Maths. I really didn't know what to do with myself and sort of got nudged to science by family and teachers as I didn't have a preference. I liked all subjects! Had a vague idea of medicine too but have decided I'm too squeamish!

Biology is a good one to have for SLT, haha I would be the same! Where else have you applied for other than the UEA?

Reading (offer), Marjon (offer), Sheffield (interview) and Manchester (withdrew). Haha offer offer interview withdrew sounds vaguely like the Henry the eighth wives poem everyone learnt in primary School! Sorry that's a bit random!

Has anyone heard anything from mmu more than a week after their interview? I know a couple of girls who had their interview the same day as me and they both got offers a week after and I have no word!

Hi! Was wondering if there are any current University of Reading SLT students?

I'm an international student (from Canada!) and received an offer but haven't accepted yet. I know the program is 2 years without breaks but my question is.. are there reading weeks during the semesters or breaks around Christmas?

Just hoping that I would be able to return home during that time! Thankkks so much!

Hello fellow Canuck!

I am a first year at DMU (though not an international student because I am a UK resident now with indefinite leave to remain)

Anyway if you are doing the 2 year program you're likely doing the Master's route. There may be breaks duing the Christmas and Easter period. I had breaks when I did my MA here in the UK. Though that wasn't in Speech Therapy. It might be a good idea to look in the postgrad forum,there might be some insight there.

I couldn't find thelink to it though. Sorry!

How long ago was your interview? Mine was at the end of January and I've heard nothing!! They did mention that some would receive offers/rejections soon after the interview and some would be put on hold until all interviews have happened so I think that's what's happened with me! But they mentioned that people on hold probably won't hear until the end of April so might be a while yet!

Hey! My interview was December 1st and they only got back quite recently, can't remember the specific date but I think it was around 10th Feb! Very similar to the UEA interview then? Thank you!


Oh wow, that's a long time! They said we would hear within three weeks, but I think that's unlikely to be honest haha! Fingers crossed though. Yeah I'd say it's fairly similar, although at the UEA there wasn't a group task :smile:
