    Costaerer, spoke to the main lecturer via email, because of the high demand the points awarding has been raised from 30 to 33? if you understand what this means let me know! Apparently decisions should be made end of this week and next week so keep your eyes peeled on ucas

    i have a levels and up to NVQ 4. im a mature student though at 35, well 36 today actually! i work in the NHS and alongside and assist social workers/psychologists with vulnerable young adults. have had work experience shadowing a psychosocial team in the outback in Oz too, not sure all that is enough though, problem is you cant actually properly work in the social work field unless you have the qualification to do so! what do you have? are you a mature student too? well if neither of us get on will be seeing you at college lol
