would really appreciate any help.
I did the course both the cert and degree (a number of years ago) and have done a bit of lecturing on the same course.
The first two years you will be covering a variety of modules/subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, exercise physiology, fitness training techniques, psychology, massage, first aid and another few that I can't think of right now. You can apply to UCAS in your second year for physiotherapy in the U.K. There is usually a high percentage who get physio in the U.K. Some do go on and do chiropractic, occupational therapy, sports science, sports rehabilitation, health management, speech therapy, etc.
Swimming was taken off the syllabus a year or so ago.
If you decide to go on to the degree it is an extra two years where you study subjects such as sports nutrition, musculosketetal assessment, movement dysfunction, pathology of soft tissue injury and more (all of this you will probably aready know from the website and prospectus).
Don't worry about being so young. I was 17 when I came to college (I didn't turn 18 til the following Jan). Physiology tends to be a very tight knit class and everyone tends to get on pretty well, people tend to make good friends that go off to colleges in the uK and share accomodation and/or stay in touch well after college.
You don;t seem to know too much about the course in DCU it is called Athletic Training - it will qualify you to work mainly in the sport arena. The main advantage that Carlow has over the course in DCU is that you have the option of transferring (through very well established links and routes) to alternative courses in the U.K. after only two years.
Don't let the computer techies put you off the course in regards to the workload. It is no different than if yo go and do physio in any other college. The computer techies only have a few hours lectures a week in comparason to the physiology.
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to ask either by posting or by PM.0 -
