Where to study physio in UK?!?!!!!

[bobo]

Hi, i've applied to do the MSc (Pre-Registration) post graduate in physiotherapy starting 2009 (although most dont actually start until Jan 2010).

I've applied to:

Robert Gordon University
Queen Margaret University
Glasgow Caledonian University
Manchester Metropolitan University
Northumbria University


I don't know what ones have the best reputations and in an ideal world if i was to get into all 5, would anyone be in a position to recommend what one they would go to?

Thanks

I'm currently studying at York st John University and it is amazing!
It's a really small uni as it used to be a college, I see this as a positive though as it means the class sizes are a bit smaller meaning the tutors have more time for you and better hands on experiences. In the first year we do a 5 week placement, 2nd year 15 weeks and 3rd year another 5 weeks. So it really is realistic we learn how to communicate with patients as soon as we get here!
We also have a few classes with the occupational therpaists, which helps us see what their role is and will hopefully help in the clinical setting with successful team work!
I hope this doesn't sound critical either but we have a lot of mature students on the course as the uni is easy to get to and offers a great prospectus! We also have people from literaly all over the place there's a few people from ireland, scotland all over yorkshire, down south and up north!
We are in a brand new building built this year and have 2 labs which we work in aswell, there is roughly 38 or 40 in a class so a great size.
A three year course primarly with placements every year! A lot of work is individual and out side of uni but all comes together in class.
YSJ obviously the best
