Speech and Language Therapy Applicants 2024

Here to support anyone applying if I can! I can't believe it's 9 years ago since I went to uni to study SLT, nearly 10 since I applied! So things have probably changed a bit. But feel free to ask me about what it's like working as an SLT too

Hi,
Studying at Greenwich has been great so far and it was very flexible in first year. The lecturers are very knowledgable and supportive.We would have lectures Mon, Tues and Thurs and Wednesday and Friday off.We had placement at the start of feb till end of May where this is one day only on a Wednesday for first year.I had a part time job during first year so it is very flexible.Before staring, I would recommend you developing both your knowledge of adult SLT and paediatrics and understanding the mechanism of swallowing difficulties and the IDDSI model.Also, SLT is also expanding in mental health so also make sure you read upon that aswell.

Anyone heard from uni of manchester about the bsc? Has anyone every got in without an interview?

Has anyone heard from Sheffield yet?
Also, does anyone know what the year 1 timetable is like? Is placement in blocks etc?

So frustrating isn’t it - I applied when ucas opened in September and only got a acknowledgment email and keep been told no decisions have been made yet

I just got rejected....no reason stated 🤷🏻*♀️

Hi, I am in Year 12 studying alevel psychology, geography and philosophy + ethics (basically rs). For majority of my life ive always wanted to be a childrens nurse but for the past couple of months i have been interested in speech and language therapy. If i were to be applying through ucas for speech and language therapy next year i would put City, university of london as my firm due to the fact that its the closest uni to me that does this course. However i have my doubts of applying to this degree because of my gcse grade (6 in eng lit, 4 in eng lang). So im always thinking if theres any point of me even thinking of applying for speech and language therapy if im just going to get rejections whereas with children nursing, i know i can happily apply for that degree (grade 7 in maths, 6-6 in double science). I know that unis mostly focuses on your alevels and your predicted grades but i dont know if im just ovethinking this because of my eng lang grade. Im really interested in both speech and language therapy and childrens nursing.

Hey,
Im not an expert, but hopefully its useful
The city entry requirements are English language 4. There are some variations in entry requirements for the course at different universities, but they generally require a GSCE English Language grade 4 as minimum from what I've found when looking. So you'd meet that requirement. Just double-check all the entry requirements.
You could do nursing and then go onto a masters in Speech and Language Therapy if you choose too

Thank you so much! I never thought of me doing a bachelors degree in children's nursing then doing a masters in speech and language therapy. I will look into that !!
