Speech and Language Therapy Applicants 2024

are you undergraduate and what are you studying xx
I think most of it is just seeing how you age as a student and nhs values.

oh how are you finding it as I’m debating wether to redo the year and do a levels because I really don’t like what I’m doing right now and regret doing it so much. But I’m not sure as I do meet the entry criteria with btec.what do you recommend

Yh to be honest I really don’t enjoy it but then if I do a levels I still have to finish this academic year my parents are telling me to stick as they think I will be wasting a year for no reason which I get
What unis have you applied to and have you received any offers/interviews etc.

Hello, I have my first interview next week (for Reading)
I am quite nervous and would like to know what to expect.
I was just wondering what the initial group talk before the 1:1 involves.
Is it just listening to the staff and current students or do we actively have to get involved with the conversation?

Hi all 🙂 I've applied for the MSc Speech and Language Therapy University of Reading 2024 but haven't heard back yet, just wondering if anyone else has?

good luck!!!
I’ve spoken to a careers advisor that has basically said most unis accept the btec however I’m just quite worried as it’s quite uncommon for someone to do speech therapy with applied science and I’m scared I won’t get in even with the grades and because I got good GCSEs I just feel regretful In not doing a levels.sorry to ask but what would you do?
Hope you get into your chosen uni and good look with your exams !!

Hi @quarterly-inject

Congratulations on getting an interview; that in itself is great!

It's totally normal to be nervous, it would be worrying if you weren't at least a little bit nervous!!

I can't say I'm entirely sure what the group talk is before hand, as I'm not sure I had that. If you do need to be involved, I assume it will just be offering your ideas or asking questions. I am working on some of the interviews in January, and that is a time for the students to ask me questions about the course and what it's like to be studying at Reading etc, so it very well could be that?! In which case, that is just an opportunity for you to get all your questions answered so nothing to stress about!

In general, I know interviews are naturally really scary, but the interviewers are usually the clinical tutors who are all super lovely and encouraging, and they only want to get a better idea of who you are and what you are like, so don't put too much pressure on yourself to know everything or anything like that - they know you are not a qualified therapist and just want to know why you're interested in the course and what sort of experiences you have etc, so just be you as much as you can be!

If you have any specific questions, do let me know!

Good luck, you'll be great!

Still waiting to hear back from UCL - anyone in the same position? (MSc)

Hey I’m a current first year on SLT at Manchester, last year a lot of people said UCL was pretty slow to give out offers so no need to worry for a little while! I hope you get in 🙂

Thank you! Do you know if it was in December or January they got back to applicants?

I’ll be honest I’m not certain, but I’d definitely say more like January, and even that could be a little early. As a general, they were definitely the last uni to be sending out offers.

Hey I have just been offered an interview about an hour ago, so seems things are moving!

Anyone heard anything from Sheffield MMedSci?
