Ofc it`s cheaper but us internationals don`t have any choice anyway as we can`t sing a lease if we didn`t even study/live here yet. And as Caitlin pointed out, all the best flats are taken already :smile:
+ Viva la halls. No way I am missing out on that as a Fresher :smile:

You won't get a decent flat now. All the good flats were taken months ago. Plus, why miss out on halls? I'd go back to Alloway in a heart beat.

Any idea why the BSc of Digital Forensics lasts 4 years and on the website there are only 3 years' modules listed? I wanted to make a comparison between DF and EH, but I'm not able to find the complete syllabus for DF :wink:


Very late response I know but as far as I can see it is just cause it's a new course, your final year will, of course, be an Honours year so you'll be doing 2-3 modules focused on research methods and stuff towards your Honours project with another 1-2 of new work roughly. Tried contacting school office for a better breakdown but got nothing back.

Phooooph, finally caught up - you guys don't half natter on :wink:


Regarding flats, I'm with Caiitlinz and ToastyCoke, Halls are the generally accepted most awesome way of starting off at Uni. it'd be a shame to miss that especially when everyone 2nd-masters students have been stealing any good flats that crop up since January.

Regarding Freshers, yeah my Freshers post got deleted for advertising :frown: but people have described how to find it on Facebook already, loving the idea of you all meeting up and would totally come with show you how a seasoned student drinks but I'll most likely be pouring the drinks for you all week :P

However my recommendation is get the shots of Chartreuse, Silver Bullet & Gold Bullet then you can't go wrong with a Jagerbomb or 6 and with that all said and done.

Brizee encourages you to irresponsibly drink responsibly, for all the facts visit http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/

Oh and last but not least, if any students need clearing information now that Scottish Exam Results are out then check this little graphic I made :P
ClearingImage.png

The telephone number is the Clearing Advice Line, you can't apply for courses over it/

The website lists all the vacancies and lets you apply for them directly on the site.

If you haven't met your condition, I'd definitely urge you to give the advice line a call they'll do as much as they can to help you get on a course :smile:

On the topic of Halls I think that it's important to meet people (especially in your first year) and halls seem like the perfect way to do that! :smile: Does anyone know when we hear from Opal about what flat you actually get? I know it said some time in August but has anyone heard anything yet?

@ElliotB,
It is in your contract papers, as soon as you finish booking on the website they should email them to you.

What do you mean? Can you start university before ending your high school, in the UK? Here, in Italy, you should at least achieve the high school diploma, and for doing that you must be 18 or 17 :biggrin:

(BTW, I'm going to apply for 2013 course and stay into Opal 1 :smile: )
