    I did that course a few (too many!) years ago. Its a great course. Tough at times but worth it. A lot of my friends went on to do physio/OT/chiro etc from it so the opportunities that way are fairly good. Carlow is probably the best place in the country to go to college! Enjoy :)

    Hi i waz just wondering you know the way you can do courses in UK like radiography ,physiotherapy etc after doing Physiology and Health Science .
    But saw this
    http://www.whatuni.com/degrees/courses/degree-courses/medical-radiology-degree-courses-united-kingdom/m/united+kingdom/r/8852/page.html

    it says you can do radiography just for 280 tariff points ,therefore i was bit confused why would people do physiology and health science, instead of goin straight to uk through UCAS.

    Could anyone expain it to me, i want to do radiography and doing leaving cert this year :)

    Well, there are those two routes you mention to doing Radiography either here, or in the UK, but applying through both will double your chances of a place.

    Using this table, you can see how the LC grades convert over to UCAS points. If you have enough to do it there, and here, you should apply for both. The advantage that doing the Physiology & Health Science course, is that you will have a base to work from by doing third level modules, like anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, physical sciences. These will be a great help in furthering your studies towards a Radiography degree.

    It even mentions on the IT Carlow website about the course: "This course has established itself as an avenue for study to degree level in the allied health professions and other degree courses in the UK."

    My best advice, would be to speak with your guidance counsellor in school about it, and come to a decision yourself.

    I never done that course myself (Physiology & HS), so I cannot tell you anything specific about the progression afterwards. Hopefully this will be at least helpful to you :)

    hi! Way back when I did the course you could only get into physio in belfast if you wanted to stay in Ireland and you would have to be getting very good results as that was one of the hardest unis to get into. i did the four year degree and a lot of the people i graduated with went on to the UK for a masters in physio. some people did do physio in Ireland after the degree course too but would have had to do an extra two years vs going to England for a masters. things might have changed since so it'd be worth ringing the course contacts and they'll be able to guide you on it. best of luck!
