UK programs anyone?

[floridaslp]

Hey guys! Like most everyone else, I'm anxiously waiting around to hear back from schools. I'm from the US, but I also applied to four schools in the United Kingdom and was wondering if anyone else here applied in the UK or to international schools elsewhere? I actually just got invited to Skype interview with the program director of Leeds-Beckett University and I am stoked as this is the first communication I've heard from any school, US or UK!!!

I found that the program prices are very comparable to US programs and in many cases are cheaper when comparing out of state/private tuition costs and as long as the program is accredited, your degree is recognized for licensure back in the States. 

Good luck to everyone applying!

Hey! Which programs in the UK did you apply to? I applied to one in Scotland and I'm still waiting to hear back.

I'm interested in looking abroad at programs! Australia's programs all seem way too expensive but the UK looks much more reasonable! Do you have a recommendation for a website for information on the different SLP programs?

Hey! This is the website I used to search for schools. You’ll want to apply early because unlike US schools they accept on a rolling admission. Good luck!

Had you already graduated undergrad when you applied? When I was researching some in the UK it seemed as though you couldn’t be finishing your final year and applying for the following year. Thanks!

Hey! I applied for fall 2019 and I won't graduate until May 2019, so no. Some programs over there require that you already be finished with your bachelors when you apply but most do not. I've found that UK schools that require you to be finished before you apply usually have deadlines super late, like May or June. It sucks for applicants who are still in school because they're forced to apply super late and since they accept with a rolling admission process it hurts their chances. These are just my experiences though!
