We will be studying fulltime and working zero time.
We are going because we have always planned to go. I am going to study the subject, thats it, my motivation is purely academic. We both wish to do postgrad afterwards.
We did not use a route, I had O levels from 1979 and A levels from 1981, my wife had O levels from 1980. We both have some OU modules from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. We applied on that basis. I start in early October and my wife starts late September and we cant wait, it has been a pain since we have had our unconditional offers since December.....we are so bored with waiting to start that it is hard to describe.
