Bobby Tamplin - Chiropractic  

Bobby is looking at the potential to change his career path by studying Chiropractic, which he applied to through UCAS Clearing. 

Why did you apply through Clearing? 

I’m studying at AECC University College for my second degree. My first degree was in Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Bournemouth University and I graduated in 2019. I worked in Microbiology for a couple of years, but found I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I had thought. 

Why did you choose Chiropractic?

I wanted a change of career as I really love working with people, as well as finding the science of how the human body works fascinating. I chose Chiropractic as something that combines both of these interests. 

Why did you choose AECC?

There aren’t many places that teach Chiropractic in the UK. I visited a few of the Universities and decided that AECC University College would be the best option for me. It was great to be back in Bournemouth, as I knew the area really well and love it here.

Noah applied to AECC University College as an international student through Clearing. 

Why did you apply through Clearing? 

I applied to AECC University College as an international student through Clearing. It was straightforward to do on UCAS and I heard back within a couple of days. There was a slight issue with my English qualification, which luckily we were able to resolve.

Both of my parents studied at AECC University College in the nineties – they actually met here. My mum is Swedish and my dad is Swiss. They were very positive about their experience here.

I didn’t actually get to visit the University properly before starting, but I really like it here.

How was relocating to Bournemouth?

I stayed in an Airbnb for the first few weeks, until I found my feet. I asked around as I got to know people whether anyone knew of any accommodation that was available and found a shared house that way. Next year, I’ll be sharing with friends that I have made on the course.

AECC University College is much more focused on Chiropractic than my previous University and the community is smaller, which works for me.
