Heya,

Has anyone else applied to study OT from Sep 2023? If so, have you heard back from any of your uni choices?

Hi @Em_1990

That's great to hear you've applied at Huddersfield!

Please free to ask as many questions as you'd like about Huddersfield, studies, student life or anything else :smile:

Hi @LL2468

It's great to hear you're interested in OT and I see you're also applying to Southampton.

I'm a MSc OT student at the University of Southampton so if you have any questions about occupational therapy in general or the University of Southampton please do let me know :smile:

Hi all,
I am applying for both speech and occupational therapy (I cannot make up my mind so keeping my options open for now!). I’ve only applied to Plymouth and I heard yesterday that I have an interview, but it’s not until March the first. My interview is over zoom. I’m not really sure what to expect!

Hi there,

Congratulations on getting an interview!! I know they can be really daunting and it's hard to know what to expect - I think it's important to make sure you're familiar with what an occupational therapist is, what they do and why you'd like to be one! That can help you both in your interview but also when working towards your degree to remember what your role is and why you want to do it.

I am currently on the MSc Occupational Therpay course at the University of Southampton so please let me know if you have any questions about occupational therapy! Best of luck with your applications and interview :smile:

Hi Katie, I've applied for speech therapy but occupational therapy might suit me better and am going to try and swap to OT for 2 of my choices. I would love to hear anything at all about what you like (and don't like) about Southampton, the course and the OT profession? Thanks so much! :smile:

Oh, great news! Do you know which one you'd prefer? When are your interviews?
I had mine not too long ago with both and both have offered a place. I'm quite excited (and anxious as I'm doing an Access course and have no idea whether I'll get the points I'll need.)

I made my five uni choices in January for Occupational Therapy. My top choice is Southampton and I’ve had interviews and subsequently offers from the other four choices but other than acknowledgement of my application have heard nothing from Southampton. Are they always slower than other unis does anyone know or is it likely to mean they aren’t interested in me?!

I'd prefer Northampton purely for location reasons. One of my interviews is the beginning of March and the second is at the end of March.

Well done on getting offers. Have you decided which one you are going to accept? Best of luck with your access course. I'm sure you'll get the points! When do you find out?

Hi I'm a mature student that's applied to Derby ...a little late in my application so I hope it is still considered! (they said there was still space so I hope so!) Is there a bursary available for this course now or is it just the maintenance loan ?
