Physiotherapy applicants 2016/2017

Just received some results on my current degree which guarantee my place on the physiotherapy course at Leicester, so hit me up if you're going to study at Leicester campus (cov uni)!

That's good to hear! I've never visited, so I have no idea what the campus is like (i've seen photos of course) but I'm really looking forward to September. Do you know how many students there are in each cohort for physio?

I can assure you that the campus is very beautiful, being in the country, so I'm sure you'll love it if a natural environment suits you.

I know that they take 80 places for physiotherapy, 40 funded and 40 non funded (approx, may not be accurate), but I'm not sure what the group sizes are like. What I can tell you is that the lecturers are lovely people, very approachable and friendly when I attended the Q&A session.

I was advised to buy the "Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by Gerard J. Tortora and Bryan Derrickson, I bought the 14th edition as its the most up-to-date. I was not informed which edition to buy, but both a first year student and a lecturer advised it so that you don't have to borrow it from the library.

The student told me that she wished she had done some reading up on the muscles to avoid being overwhelmed in the first semester, and the lecturer says its worth the investment after you become a qualified practitioner. It can cost over £100-£200, but I found it for £50 so I'm sure you can get a bargain if you shop around.

Sorry for all of this text, hope it helps! I'm available to PM if you want to talk more about Keele!

Thank you so much for the info! I'm an international student so it honestly helped a lot

That would be great actually, you can't PM on this website can you?

Yeh I have, and I put dehavillin first, then Telford court. Do you know how long the course is (weeks) want to make sure I've got enough time in the accommodation!

Finally chosen Teesside as my firm and Leeds Beckett as insurance! Has anyone else on here firmed Teesside?

Got an offer through today for Plymouth through Extra, effectively unconditional as I've already got my grades so I'll be going there in September!

Hey Lucy

Aww well done! genuinely happy for you after all that i bet you're relieved as well as excited to be starting in september?

ahh ok thanks :-) have you firmed any of the unis for physio?

Hi,
I have been offered a place at both Brunel and St. George's but have yet to make a decision. I'm a mature student and will be living at home so my commute will be approx 1 hour to St. George's and almost 2 hours to Brunel. I'm interested to know people's thoughts on each institution and if I should tolerate the longer commute for what Brunel has to offer?
