    I'm going into third year Physio.

    Last year we had 5 new students in our class who gained a place through accelerated entry. Two from this course - DC204 Athletic Therapy and Training, two from here- SG435 Health Science and Physiology and one is a Chiropractor.

    I would immediately get onto TCD, UCD, RCSI and UL and enquire about accelerated entry to Physiotherapy and what courses are looked upon favourably.

    This one - CW106 Physiology and Health Science is a great stepping stone to get into Unis in the UK.

    Just a side note: You don't have TCD physio down on your list!

    I have ATT down the only thing is it's 4 years and I don't want to wait that long to get into Physio. I don't have the requirements for TCD because they don't allow Biology and Ag Science to be combined as the two science subjects,unfortunately. Thanks for your help!

    Well then I'd suggest the Carlow course or the Sligo IT course. The Carlow course is 2years and the Sligo course is 3 years.

    If you definitely want to do Physio would you consider going to the UK (This is including Uni.of Ulster) or resitting the subjects you need in the Leaving cert next year?
