Hi all. I've flopped my entire life from the ages 16-18, but at age 18 decided to start working in Finance. I worked in Finance since then. I'm 20 now. I'm progressing well, earning a decent salary, but I really don't like it, it's as boring as can be and have zero interest in the study material.
I've recently developed an interest in physiotherapy, after having both my leg and shoulder treated. I've done my research and have become interested not only in muscoskeletal physiotherapy, but also neurological and even cardiorespiratory. The content interests me a lot, but as a career I'd like to specialise in sports injuries and occupational health, surgery rehabilitation and back pain side of physiotherapy. So more muscoskeletal than anything else.
I'm planning on doing an access to higher education course in September 2018. I've started preparing today by reading an AS biology revision guide, and plan on revising physics and chemistry also, as that is what the course entails.
For those of you that have studied access courses in science, can you tell me how many hours a week you spent in college and how many hours a week you spent on self study? Did you get into university for studying physiotherapy?
I'm planning on doing 3 hours a day, 1 hour for biology, 1 hour for chemistry and 1 hour for physics while I'm still working in finance. Maybe 2 hours for each subject in the weekends.
But when I actually start my course, how many hours a week will I have to study? I just want to get an idea. I currently do boxing, cardio and weightlifting, so I spend like 10 hours a week exercising. I want to know if I'll have enough time to study AND do my exercise and boxing.
Physiotherapy is extremely competitive, so I'll have to get the best grades possible from the access course.
