Hi,
I've been offered a place on a Scottish degree course which normally lasts 4 years. However, my offer is for entry into the second year and so I would skip the 1st year.
I was hoping to take an industrial placement during the 2nd and 3rd years of my degree. I am aware that people normally make applications for industrial placements using their grades from their 1st year.
If I skip the first year of the degree would it still be possible to gain an industrial placement? This is considering I would not have 1st year results to apply with. Do you think this would put me at a disadvantage?
(I have phoned up the university but they said they don't know and will try to find out but I was wondering if anyone else has been stuck in this situation?)
Does anyone have any idea of who to contact about this other than my school/the uni?
THANKS for any help/advice/etc
