Hello! I am applying for Undergraduate Occupational Therapy, I am sending my application off tomorrow. I know the deadline is the end of Jan, but I hope it is not frowned upon to apply so late... end of Dec. Anyway! I am completing a Health Science access course which I will finish end of June. :smile:

Hi Alice! I have also applied to do Occupational Therapy and doing an Health Science access course. I had my interview last week, hopefully good news. I am not confident on how the interview went, but i guess i will just have to wait and see 🙂

But don't worry too much they said to me to expect an answer in 2 weeks so I was shocked it was the next day but you just never know they are probably going through them now

Hello!

I'm applying as a Mature Student for Paramedic Science and I have been offered a place if I get the grades on my Access Course.
I attended an open day back in August and plan on returning for an applicant day in April.
I am very excited to be starting university at an incredible location!
