Original post by Curlymanjaro

I've actually been offered by Dundee for MA Politics (Hons) - BBB at A-Level. I'm from Nottinghamshire, so perhaps the offer was made on a regional basis.
Very happy as Dundee is a potential first choice, just need to see what Aberdeen come back with.
Best of luck everyone!

Well done! I am a direct entry to level 2 Politics student here at Dundee, and so far I am really enjoying the course.

Why thank you, loved everything about it when I visited back in September. How are the work experience opportunities for the course?

Hey guys!

Name: Heather
Location: Elgin, Scotland
Course: Social Work
Scottish Highers: AABBCC (French, History, Administration, Modern Studies, Drama and English)
Scottish Advanced Highers: AB (French and History)

I was at the University of Aberdeen for two years studying French but decided to change route as I fell out of love with the subject! :s-smilie:

Just need to crack on with my personal statement and get some relevant work experience/volunteering under my belt!

Nice to see there's someone else like me who dropped out after 2nd year! :P

Hey there,

I'll start my postgraduate studies at Dundee University in September 2016. I've no idea about GCSEs, AS or A2 as I'm originally from Germany and we have a fairly different grading system here. However, it's great to see that Brits seem to love abbreviations as much as Germans do. ;-)

Has anybody heard anything from Dundee? I sent in my application on September 22, and have only gotten an acknowledgement email and two fee status emails. Has anybody got an offer yet?

It's coming up to the 15th January now so offers will be coming thick and fast after that. :h:

A few on this thread have offers back already from Dundee but it really does depend on your course.

Phew, 'cause my patience is wearing thin. I just hope I don't have to wait until April/May like I've seen some people had to do when I read the applicant threads for 2015, 2014 and 2013. :smile:

That does happen. I had to wait until late March for offers from York and St Andrews last year. It all depends.

I just finished a compulsory First Year Film Studies module. Oh no. Never again. But the English modules, especially the second year ones, look amazing, I wish I had chosen one instead of the FS one.

(I'm a second year Politics student, btw. :h:

Understandable though. Especially since Dundee wants to wait until after the deadline to give out offers.
