    I put Essex as my insurance (International Development too!)

    So what does everyone plan to do after Uni with their international development degree?

    Probably the most heard answer is 'I want to work abroad somewhere' haha, but I don't have any set plans really, just see what happens at the end of the three years and see what opportunities are out there

    That's great! Do you take a language at A level too?

    No, GCSE yes but A-Level no. I took Geography, Maths and Biology. What subjects did other people take?

    I was going to put that exact course but went to the applicant day and really wasn't impressed so haven't put an insurance choice. Risky, I know, but I'd rather resit and get the grades for UEA next year rather than go somewhere I don't like.

    I get what you mean. Hopefully we will all get the grades we need and fingers crossed, we will see everyone in September! Good luck for exams!

    I've got an insurance ( Essex for Inter Dev) but the grades are ABB - the same as UEA. So if I don't get in, I'm just apply again to get into UEA.

    I loved UEA!

    I have! Its for BA International Development with Overseas Experience.

    Visited UEA on the open day and really liked it.

    Where else have you applied?
    I'm doing the same course, providing I get the grades! So excited! We'll have to say hello to each other during freshers.

    Re:International Development at UEA
    Lets go with 2013! I got my conditional offer for DEV to start this September, can't wait, really. Have been to UEA several times, one of them in an Open Day and I loved it. It's really unique, doesn't have the magic of Oxford (fell in love with it too) but I think it has a certain character you don't find so often in "modern" universities. Anyone else expecting to start this year?

    For my insurance I got conditional from Leeds.
