Speech and language therapy UL

Hi

To those in the SLT course, how is it going? A few questions:

1. what are the hours like? Reason I ask is because I have a child and would ideally stay in Cork and commute up. Would that be possible;
2. any suggestion of moving to more remote learning, even a hybrid model?;
3. are the job prospects good?; and
4. for those who are now in UL, did you have SLT experience? Shadowing etc?

Thank you!

how come you only got your place last week? Do they give out places that late? That doesn’t give you much time to leave a job if you had one.

just trying to work it out as seriously contemplating applying for next year and trying to juggle it all between work this coming f year and family.

thanks

Hey all, I am a long way into the course now and I have some advice. Don't do it. A tonne of people failing and the majority of staff do not care about students mental health. No one can accept the feedback from students and so much finger pointing goes on. OT seems like a much better run course, and from talking to the students, they seem happy and in the know about placements etc much before we are notified. Unless you're hellbent on getting it done in the 2 years, I would opt for the undergrad. It feels very rushed.
