Hi, I literally just sent my application off yesterday and didn't do any shadowing but did do an online virtual one if you haven't applied already would recommend doing an online work experience as they are really helpful. hope this helped x

Thank you! May I know how you find the virtual experience?

Hi, ive also applied for derby and was curious on how long after you submitted your application did you get a response. :smile:

Not long possibly 2 days...
It was quick mind you
Recieved an offer from them 2 days ago which I am happy about
Do you live near the uni so can commute or staying in accomodation?
I do not know yet as all the accomodation at the uni seem to be far away and it will take 3 buses to get to the site
Where else have you applied to? :smile:

Is Derby your first choice or is one of the others the first choice / one your want the most?
I would say Derby is my first choice :smile:

may I know your reason for choosing it? I am asking because I do not know the reputation of this uni. I am not from the U.K.

Just thought I'd add that I have an interview mid January for the post grad course at LSBU.

How did others get on in their interviews? Well I hope!

Good luck in your interview! 💪🏻
I haven’t heard back from Cardiff after interview yet. Lots of others applying to the same course have done brilliantly and been offered places. 🌻

Have you got any offer yet then? May I know about your background?

I am curious about how competitive these programmes are. Perhaps around 1 for 5 or 6 places?

If my UCAS application was sent in the Xmas holidays how long do you think it would take for a reply back ?

Hopefully, the other applicants can chime in who have also applied to these unis. In general, I think it takes healthcare courses a little longer to get back (so dw) but it does just vary from institute to institute. Some people hear back within days!
