Access to HE 2012-2013

Hey all,

I'm on an access course at the moment and thought I'd take a sec to say it's really not something you should dread or be nervous about

It can be difficult at times to wrap your head around certain bits, but for the most part it's not too difficult at all. I find it more tedious at times than anything else. So long as you're turning up though, doing your assignments should be pretty straightforward. I've managed to keep my head above water thus far and should be finishing this course in June/July.

A lot of good unis will accept the qualification too, which was my biggest worry, but I've been invited to interview by both York and Lancaster so it's clearly not bad at all.

Definitely make sure your access pathway applies to whatever you're applying to though! I've seen a few people get blanket rejections for having subjects irrelevant to what they applied for through UCAS.

I've got an idea for my Unit 3 research project, and I'm thinking about setting up a survey. However, I only need to send the surveys to a certain demographic in a specific location. How do I go about doing it? It would have to be online as I'm looking to set it somewhere abroad. Advice please.

Thanks.

I used survey monkey for mine

Not sure if that's any good for you

Eeeeee

I have my offer!!!! I need 30 credits at a merit as well as passing my health check

I was in the same exact boat earlier! I finally got an email form UCAS about 2 hours ago saying it's been sent on. I had to badger Mike and Stuart because I was so concerned about it. Hull College take the cake with everything.

Is Mike in charge of the Access course now at Hull College, he was just the law teacher last year when I did the course and we had the lovely David Wood doing our references who I have heard has sadly left.

I had a great year there though and it has prepared me very well for my History degree at Hull Uni.

congrats Kellie thats great news,i bet u over the moon,can i ask what health degree u are applying for and what access course u doing?thats if u dont mind me asking

I wouldn't class it as health, children's inter professional studies and I'm doing the humanities side of the access with psychology, social work and sociology, however there is some people in my classes who do both sides of the access course.

Not so bad, I've not handed it in yet though. It was due in last Friday but I'm not in on that day so I was just going to hand it in on Monday. I then realised it was half term. How did you find it?

Not bad, thought I was gonna love it but ended up disliking it a little, just felt I was repeating myself, prefer being given topics and reaching and knowing its right lol
