Congratulations! What subject?
I've sent off my application today to my referee, so hopefully within the next few days it'll be sent to UCAS then I can get offers in. It seems like a lot of people have been getting 240 UCAS points offer, so getting 200 is even better for you, easier to meet.

Yeah the official story has been 180-240 ucas points for a few years, though I was chatting to our course tutor on a field trip last week and they're pushing it up to the top of the range in a lot of subjects because of high demand and an expected rush of mature applicants this year (lots of people loosing work & looking to begin study before the fees rise). Apparently they've had record levels of enquiries.
so yeah work hard and try get your grades up, good luck.

I'll get 240 points with no problem. That's why I have Derby as a choice, quite a good uni by the looks of the open day but low entry requirements. I'm predicted A in Business, B/C for Economics and B/C for English, so I'll get anywhere between 260 and 320 UCAS points if I work well.

BSc Geography! Derby were quite quick replying, I think it took them just under a week to reply! I'm quite happy with the offer of 200 ucas points and atleast a D in Geography, deffinatly reachable... I think the offer might be so low cause I've done loads of field work and conservation work... Not too sure though

I checked UCAS today, my head of sixth form has sent off my application so hopefully on Monday I'll have my UCAS track details.And that's quite cool getting a low offer if you've done field work, at least you have experience and good achievable entry requirements. Is Derby your first choice?

what subject are you applying to? xThey'll like that - we're just trying to get a UoD conservation society going at the moment. There wasn't one before, so all being well that'll be running by the time you start.

I'll probably do the same as you, although I gone to an open day last Saturday and liked the look of the uni.

Countryside management & Outdoor recreation... which is all at the Buxton campus so I can't tell you much about Kedleston Road specifics unfortunately.
The conservation soc would have to cover both Derby & Buxton sites though. Fwiw it currently sounds like most of the tasks would likely be more over towards the Derby side.
anyway it hasn't happened yet - we need to write a constitution for the society and collect signatures.

Oh that sounds really good! any idea what campus Geography is on Derby!
good luck with the society, it sounds like a really good idea and it deffinatly would be really useful for students studying similar courses or are just generally interested in that kind of thing!!

For me it took them exactly 6 days, they were actually really quick!
They gave me an offer before many unis sent me mails saying they'd recieved my application and were reviewing it

Geography's at Kedleston Road/main Derby campus - the two pretty much exit as separate islands most of the time tbh.
we get some of the same modules but delivered by different tutors at different times. I'm in my second year but I've not even seen KR.

Oh right, I wasnt too sure where the geography department was! Thanks!
Do people from both campuses tend to mix with eachother? or do they tend to stay with the people they know?
How do you find Derby uni? are you enjoying it? what kind of oppertunities do you get with your course? x
