There are also daily direct trains to Ashford International and Gatwick Airport. The University of Brighton was my first choice for a physiotherapy school. I have very strong and positive memories of each of my lecturers at the university, they all inspired me.
The clinical placements were very strong and I definitely arrived well prepared although I didn't realise at the time how well I had been prepared for my junior position at the busy Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
I remember working very hard at the university, but it was worth it and becomes a legacy throughout your career. We really enjoyed having quite a lot of mature students in our group and we learnt a lot from them too. I left the University of Brighton with a passion for neurological physiotherapy due to a particularly effective placement I had in neuro.
However, after two-and-a-half years as a junior I went to India for two years to set up a physiotherapy department in a rural bed hospital and it was there that I came across a lot of burn injuries.
I had not done any burns or plastic surgery but, due to the need I saw there I wanted to learn, so I came back to London and got the chance to set up a new burns and plastic surgery service at the Royal Free Hospital in London. This was a great job and I got the chance to treat a number of large trauma cases.
I used my clinical and management experience to run a charity called Interburns International Network of Training, Education and Research in Burns from April to this year and weirdly in there somewhere I have also worked for a peace and reconciliation foundation in the Middle East. Physiotherapy opens so many doors and doing things outside physio can also really add to our skills and experience.
I found working internationally also very valuable. A great school at the University of Brighton, and a strong junior rotation period, were a tremendous help to me and were an ideal foundation from which to move forward. Burns and plastics has been a surprising but wonderful speciality. I hope some more Brighton students will consider it going forward! Based on my experience I would strongly recommend the University of Brighton As a mature student, choosing a university to return to my studies at took some consideration.
On attending an initial open day I was impressed by the facilities, calibre of tutors and students that I met. The location and personal feel of the campus in Eastbourne, compared to other institutes I had visited, really suited me.
Having worked previously as a physiotherapy assistant, I felt the physiotherapists I worked with that had qualified at the University of Brighton often stood out as particularly competent in both a clinical and non-clinical capacity. The combination of these elements guided my decision to study at the University of Brighton, and having been qualified for a year now I can conclusively say I made the right choice.
From the first semester the course was aimed at preparing me for the clinical environment and the specialist nature of the health professional. However, the practical nature of the course design ensured my constant interest.
This, coupled with approachable tutors available to discuss any number of subjects, made developing my knowledge base an easily achievable task. Having established a level of theoretical knowledge in the first year, going out on clinical placement in the second year gave me the welcome opportunity to consolidate the theory and practice.
A well structured placement programme along with constant support from the university provided me with an environment that encouraged learning and developed my clinical reasoning. In addition to the academic side of studying at the University of Brighton there was a great social aspect, and living by the sea provided a great environment for this. The variety of students on the course meant that even as a 'mature' student I had a busy social life and made some good friends.
Now as a qualified physiotherapist I work for a large private health firm, the interview for which was secured as a result of my clinical knowledge, placement experience and qualification. However, the personal skills, communication and presentation experience I developed while at Brighton gave me the confidence to succeed at the interview. Ask a question about this course.
