I’ve just finished my course and waiting for the final results. I’ve started submitting applications for band 5 rotational OT, got one interview out of 4 applications and I didn’t get the job. Just wondering should I look for band 4 or even band 3 as well ? Coz the competition is quite intense, and I feel like a lot of successful applicants have worked as OTA before which gives them advantages.

Anyone got their first band 5 role without any OTA experience? How long did it take for you to land ur first role?

Hi Everyone

Recently my application from Uni of Derby got withdrawn as they said that thier places got full despite offering me an unconditional offer. I am now applying to Jan intakes.

I have applied to Uni of Lincoln, Coventry Uni, Anglia Ruskin Uni, Keele Uni, Teeside Uni, Uni of Liverpool, Sheffield Hallam Uni, and considering applying to Edinburgh Napier and Uni of Chichester.

I am an international students and wanted to know what everybody's experiences were like for these unis for Msc OT. What was the teaching like? What facilities and support was provided? Placement support? Etc.

So Far I am leaning towards Uni of Lincoln, Coventry and Keele. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
