What degree have you chosen and why?

lol


Oh I'm glad TSR makes you feel better/is such a good anger outlet for you

I hope people + rep you long time :-)

That's nothig to do with it making me feel better, just saying, you're a tit.

I always think people like you have issues/are deeply insecure

Seriously if you quote me again, I'm going to start thinking you want to befriend me you freak

Medicine for me, Im in the middle of my first year exams at the minute. Basically because I randomly decided at 26 I wanted to be a forensic psychiatrist. Im thinking about intercalating a BSc in Philosophy at the minute as well which puts a smile on my face every time I think about it so might have to be the way to go!

Hoping to do Clinical Physiology (Cardiology) at Leeds after processing Local Government benefit claims and giving welfare benefit advice for the last 4 years was meant to just be a job for a short while before looking for something serious and ended up sucking me in! I do NOT want to be doing that for the rest of my life, so decided I should re-train. I have a younger sister who was born with a congenital heart defect, so that was a serious influence on my choice, as well as the fact that I am really interested in medical careers and get genuine job satisfaction from helping others if I thought I would be given an opportunity, I would have applied for medicine after the Access course I'm currently on but I didn't seriously think any Uni's would prefer me over the rest of the competition.

Yes, i want to befriend you <3

Oddity...


Anyway back to the thread, It's nice to hear what people are studying and why! Keep it going people

Having never known what i wanted to study i opted for something that i was interested in which was the law!

have always been interested in politics and court systems etc so opted for Access couse in LAw and Criminology and have gained all distinctions so far and intend on continuing my dedication to the LLB Law programme @ manchester

Helloo .. Just a question. I'm interested in politics as well and I am due to start a Law/Politics access course at College this September. How hard has your access course been? Were the distinctions hard to obtain or were they an easy breeze?

I'm three years into a four-year degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, at the end of which I will be a qualified Dietitian.

My previous job was mostly spent sat in front of a computer, where I was a retail artworker for a supermarket. I had been working in that environment for 10 years, and I just thought there was more to life than Buy One Get One Frees, sales margins and profits. I realised that working directly with people in a health setting would interest me much more - treating illness and generally things that are more important that sales figures.

I was worried at first, but here I am, four years later (including access course), nearly at the end and it was the best decision I ever made. Otherwise I could be in the same job, four years older and wishing I'd done something with my life.

Hi, I am also interested in doing a Nutrition & Dietetics degree.

I am a mature student & left school with not many qualifications. I have since obtained a level 2 City & Guilds in Numeracy & Literacy & just completed a Level 3 Nutrition Specialist Diploma with Future Fit accredited by City & Guilds.

Can you tell me which access course you did as I am wondering if the qualifications i have will count at all towards university entry & I can just add a couple of A Levels, or will I have to do a full access course?

Can you tell me how many UCAS points you needed & where you did your degree?

Thanks Theresa
