Hi, I’ve applied for the MSc Applied Clinical Psychology course and I was just wondering what a typical full time timetable would look like? On the website it says that teaching days are on Tuesdays but would be helpful to know in advance what a typical week would look like!

Hi @Oliviaashton, 😊

It's great to hear that you have applied for our MSc Applied Clinical Psychology course! 🌹

Thanks for your question, I will speak to the academics who run this course and come back to you as soon as I have some information about the course structure.

Hi there,

During first year, many students choose to live in university owned accommodation as this means that you can mix with people from all different courses and meet lots of new people!

Living in university halls also means that you benefit from having our 24hr security onsite (incase you lock yourself out). Our accommodation is also based on campus so that you're never more than a 10 minute walk away from where your lectures may be held!

If you have any other questions, let me know!
-Rebecca, UCLan

Hi! I have an interview for the MSc Speech and Language Therapy! I hope I get on to the course. However, the interview is in May and I feel that this is close to when the course starts! When does the course - early/mid/late September? When can I apply to student finance England? Thank you.

Hi! I applied to the Physiotherapy MSc Programme and I was wondering what the breaks are like. I understand that because it is an accelerated 2 year program that holiday/break time would be less than the BSc programme, but I was wondering if we do have any break time/how long are they?

Does it depend on placements?
How many days is our Christmas break? Do we have a summer break?

Hi @0rangejuice,

Firstly, congratulations on receiving an interview invite for our MSc Speech and Language Therapy course. This course does begin in September 2024, I'm not aware of the official start date but freshers/welcome week is usually around mid - late September. Please be assured that there is plenty of support and guidance out there on applying for student finance. We offer some really useful guidance on applying for student finance which you can find here. You might also find it useful having a look on the Ask Student Finance England forum here.

Best of luck for your interview.

Best wishes,
Sarah

Hi there,

Thank you for your question. For our BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy course, qualifications will need to include Biology/PE modules such as Anatomy & Physiology and Physiology of Fitness.

For the best advice on whether you have the qualifications required for this course, I would recommend you reach out to our admissions team at [email protected] as the team may need to look at the modules you are studying.

Best wishes,
Sarah
