Hi all, sos its been so long up to my eyeballs in course work for access course and a diploma for work, am thinking uni must be easier that two jobs and two courses on the go, but hey nearly finished, my extended essay and two sociology assignments to go, then a rest until uni. Roll on September. Good luck to all that have interviews for other unis.

Hi Everybody!

Just popping by to say, hey!

I've been busy sorting out a secondary school for my son and deliberating on where to live come Sept.

Hope you're all well and I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Hi Debs

I've not heard anything at all. I think the only thing I've had from UWE is a reminder to upload my Access certificate when I have it, and also an invite to an information afternoon if I've not been to an open day.

Hope you are well - I'm writing genetics essays today and wishing I was outside in the sunshine instead!! :cool:

I think they send all our details off together, so we wont hear until may at least, how ever the bursary calculator is now set to the 2012/2013 new bursary amounts so you can get a rough estimate!

Hi Karen,
Have a fantastic time! I'm really envious- I'm sure you will have an amazing experience.

To everyone- I eventually got a reply from Vanessa about the length of the course, but I don't think it's definitive. She thinks 39 weeks, so fingers crossed she's right.

50/50 chance of the warden's job sounds positive too.

Keep in touch and let us know all about the trip!
See you all soon.

Congratulations and good luck, the tutors were lovely and seemed to really want to be there and want you to be there too, although I came out of my interview unsure if it had gone well or not (so was shocked when offered a place!)
