    We did that module last year and it was pretty tedious. It sounds like it'll be so interesting and then... it isn't I'm firming Exeter, History and Ancient History. Are you from Belfast?
    Aw, Exeter's a lovely university from what I've heard and I live about 25 minutes outside Belfast yourself?

    Ooooo I've got that same offer from Queens for Psychology
    It's either Queens or Lancaster for me.. parents would rather me go Lancaster, but i fancy a change, still not replied to either though yet!
    Being from NI, my parents would rather me go to Queens, because it's cheaper :L I kinda agree with them. Highly considering firming Queens. Still have to wait for two more offers though. You never know, I could end up seeing you there next year.

    I went to the applicants day yesterday, wasn't too keen beforehand but now I think it's going to be my firm. I've got an offer for business management there and will probably be living in halls.

    There have been a number of people who have received declines for Social Work at Queens, they didn't even get an interview. So I'm taking comfort from that!!

    What do you all plan to do with your subject degrees when you graduate? Go to England and do a PGCE?

    Catty, are you going for grad entry or both? I have only just sent off my confirmation that Queens and Magee can share info! The process seems so much more exciting for me this time around! I hope it will come to me on the day!
