    Anyone going to Coventry University College?
    If so! I am so confused about what to do! I have a place there for a foundation year in healthcare science (1year course =£4800) but I am also thinking of retaking my biology A2 exam - is there any point in doing this as I wanted to go into Paramedic Science next year (due to no offers this year)

    HELP PLEASE!

    hope this all helps!

    My grades atm are so bad though .. and as this course is only one year and doesn't have any "proper" qualifications ... i feel as if i'm wasting a year and money along with it!

    I just can't stand retaking a year at college, i'd rather be at uni!

    Am i being completely stupid?!

    Are you going there?

    Btw - back to your point, thankyou for the offer! I shall have to take a rain check on it ! - will pm you shortly!

    I would redo the biology A2 to be honest. If your only real idea behind doing the foundation course is because you want to be at uni, that's pretty weak.

    Hmmm true.. I thought it was myself to be completely honest!
    I may just stay as an external student and then get a job and some extra work exp. to back my application for next year! thanks x

    I have an offer to do law and practice there but as I am 24 I dont know whether I want to go to college again or not and I cant seem to find anyone else doing the same course haha.
    Has anyone been to an open day there? What was it like?

    Totally failed ... lets say i walked out with only 160 ucas points!!!!
    But by doing this course .. it has no qualification ..so i'm tempted just to retake alevels ..although with the lecture i'm getting right now - thats not an option.
