RGU MSC Social Work 2023 Offer holders

Hello!! Any RGU MSC Social Work 2023 Offer holders out there? Let's connect for advice and suggestions!

Yes I’ve just firmed my offer for msc social work. Have you? Have you got any info on the bursary yet ie been put forward for it or heard about it at time of offer?

There is phone number to connect to for the bursary. I haven't contacted them yet.
Have you received a conditional offer or unconditional?

hi everyone, I firmed my offer last week and was told i would be nominated for the bursary but haven't heard from the sssc yet with an invitation to apply. have yous heard anything yet? how long did it take?

ah ok. we are in the same position then I've emailed them asking these questions and schedule of rate for 2023/2024 but just got an automatic reply with info and 22/23 rates. hopefully they will get in touch soon.

Was that the sssc - I don’t know if rates are going up or are staying the same.

Let me know if you get further info - I’ll do the same

yes, the bursaries email from the sssc.
from rgu, i was told the sssc usually review the applications on the same day they receive it so after receiving the invitation we should try to send all docs and paperwork asap.

Do you have any idea of how many days a week we should expect to be on campus?

I've got a reply from them! They still have some stuff to do before they can send the invitations to apply but she confirmed everyone that gets nominated by the uni, will get invited.
Just need to wait :P Also, apparently she has access and can use the docs we submitted when registered with the sssc but may need more docs... I probably will submit everything just in case ahhaha Ahhh... no schedule of rates yet from 23/24

It must be a horrible wait for who got an offer sometime ago!! I've just applied for the course a week or so before the closing date and had my interview only about a month ago

From what I understood, we don't have classes while on placement as it's full-time (37.5hrs/week) so as you said it's must be intense while on campus

I live locally and actually not too far from RGU. what about you? are you from social work area already?

ok, still to receive email but I'm sure it'll follow shortly. yes I'll probs send everything too unless they actually mention I don't need to..lol
I don't live locally at the mo... but my sister works in aberdeen and is renting so she said I could stay with her whilst on the course so will be moving to area soon. mum is thinking about moving house too so she may consider moving up to area..not sure yet...saves us renting...lol

hopefully we will be invited soon to apply..would like it all sorted..lol

Yes! would be great to sort everything and relax.
Are you going to go on the course if you don't get the bursary?

Hopefully I’ll still be able to - I’m sure we will get bursary though. What about you?

I'm pretty confident on the bursary as well but if I dont' get it... not sure... I have a 2 year old son and a few bills to pay so with no bursary it would be quit hard. Let's see!
