    Just wondering if there are any other members of the site who've returned to full time education to study physiotherapy or similar? I've been considering pursuing a full time degree in the area for some time and flirted with the idea of studying physical therapy and sports therapy as an avenue to becoming a qualified physiotherapy but on researching same, I'm not convinced that they'll allow me to do so.

    From reading online, I gather that I need to submit my 2019 application soon. I would imagine that studying at an NUI would be best in terms of future career prospects and given that I've studied up to research Masters level, at an NUI, in another field, am I correct in saying that I would be subject to full course fees? Finally, does anyone know of any organisations I could volunteer in or become a member of which would help me succeed in getting a place on a degree level course.

    Hi. Thinking of following the same path. Do you know which colleges are best to research these courses?

    I'm going to start by hitting the open days that are coming up over the next few months and speaking to the department and mature student representatives that are present. Hoping they'll give me some guidance.

    UL, UCD, Cork University and RCSI all offer accelerated graduate entry Physiotherapy courses. All 2 years, with the exception of RCSI which is 3.

    They have places on their four year degrees for mature entry also. Closing date for applications via the CAO is Friday.

    Did you all apply before the deadline? I’ve applied for RCSI, trinity and UCD for physio

    And I applied to DCU, Carlow and Athlone for athletic rehabilitation but these are back ups I’m hoping I will get in either in the UK through my ucas application or in the three above, because I don’t feel like doing two degrees at 31 years of age lol

    Hey, just wondering did anyone else do the MSAP for Physiotherapy this year? Can't seem to find any info on what kind of score/percentile got someone a place in previous years. Hard to know what kind of score is good enough 🀔.
