Physiotherapy interviews and offers

Hi, will applying early to UCAS make a difference for physiotherapy, because many people who do different courses have already applied and received offers. Is physiotherapy different because of the interview process? Also, is there a window for interview invitations and how long do unis tell you about interviews beforehand? Thanks.

There is no advantage to applying early. Unis don't run out of offers and as along as you apply by 14 January your application will be treated equally. Just to note, that some of those who have applied now will still be waiting until April/May next year for some unis to make a decision.

Healthcare course applicants do take a while to be processed as interviews are involved and they all vary as to when they interview and how much notice they give. Start preparing now by learning the NHS values and six Cs, and have a look at the following thread for some tips:

Also, my YP applied to her least favourite choice first and then added her other choices around a month later. By doing this she had some interview practice before she was interviewed by her top choices.
