Msc Pre Reg Occupational Therapy at Cardiff

Hi, I was wondering if anyone's heard back yet for Pre Reg Occupational Therapy at Cardiff yet? Had my interview a month ago, and although they said it could be around the middle of May by the time we hear back, I'm getting impatient and anxious!

Hey- I received my offer 2 weeks ago, hope yours comes through soon!

Amazing well done! I heard back a couple of weeks ago as well (I just forgot to post an update on here 😅), and have been offered a place 😄 see you in September!

Hi,
Congratulations to the both of you, how were you informed? I was told in interviews it would only be through the online SIMS portal so I have been checking it (somewhat constantly), where you emailed to say your application had been updated or did you just have to check regularly?
Thanks

Thank you, I was like you and constantly checking the SIMS portal multiple times a day. I received an email with my offer though (even though they told me I would only hear via the SIMS portal). I hope you hear back soon and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! Maybe give them a ring in a week if you don’t hear back?

Thank you, I may try that. Just in case I am unsuccessful, could I ask, what experience did you have or what do you feel made you stand out as a successful applicant?

So me personally, I have approx 8 years of experience working with individuals with learning disabilities - over different settings including education, day centres and domiciliary. I also have a bit of experience of working in a children’s home, behaviours that challenge and supporting those with physical disabilities. My saving grace was definitely my experience, as my degree is in Fine Art - so quite the difference!
I’m not too sure what made me stand out to be honest, but if I were to guess it would be that I came off as passionate and confident about this line of work/ career. I have also worked closely with OTs in the past and spoke about the benefit of OT for behaviours that challenge (from my experience). I also made sure to ask questions at the end.
I hope I could be of some help? Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to ask. Good luck!

Oh, you were in my interview group! I remember you saying about your fine art degree!
Thank you for the advice, I will definitely be using it going forwards!
Congratulations again by the way!!!

Oh wow what a small world!! For what it’s worth I thought you did well in the group interview! You came across as friendly and confident 😊 and thank you!

Thank you! I actually got my offer email the day after we'd messaged on here 😲 what are the chances of that? 😂
