Social Work at Queens 2013

Lol no probs Littlejane, I've been going a bit mad myself! Kerry they just said the usual- it could be on or any day before the UCAS deadline :/

They are soo secretive! My friend goes to Queens and she said their admin is awful! They always leave things really late.. obviously..
I really want an offer but at the same time theyve had my application since November and its now May :/ I know its competitive but atleast get back to people quickly to let them make their decisions

Yeh I found their admin to be less than helpful when I studied there & not the most pleasant of folks either Nothing could be worse than Qsis, their online enrolment system. I was nearly bald with stress trying to work that thing lol!

I just rang and they said the graduate route offers have definitely not been sent! So there is still hope yay lol. I must say I really think that everyone on this feed are going to make great social workers and everyone seems so motivated and excited! Would be great to all stay in touch and help out with topics and discussions when the time comes

Omg, ate you serious, that's an awful amount of messing people about... It's simply not good enough.


amcgregor... I think I was just sitting next to you last night at the info meeting, could be wrong tho,

I'm driving from cookstown to Magee should I choose to take my offer, it takes roughly 1 hr to get to Magee from here. The road wouldn't be the best, but I'm sure I'd get use to it.

its very tough to make a decision I'm kinda in the same boat as you, family, work etc. it's 3 years of your life, and I feel it's a sacrifice worth making. BMC would be very handy for you though

Hugely distracting, so much misinformation, I'm a bit miffed, why would Magee tell us last night that Queens grad route offers went out, for Queens to tell us they haven't.

inter-uni politics at its best?

I have applied for queens. But I'm going to go to Magee. Both university's are of a high standard but I loved how friendly the lectures were last night. Even the administration staff were so nice.

Too confusing.

I know but all will be revealed next week we shall just have to try to forget about it over the weekend & be patient....easier said than done though lol!

Hey everyone,just back from the long drive home from magee. Thought tonight was very informative. Have to say feeling a bit down that queens 2 year offers are already out as they havent gotten back to me. :-(
The reality of the whole financial situation of going to magee is starting to hit. I'd have to move to derry as the fuel prices travelling from newry would equal rent. However I'm going to have to look for somewhere with a short term lease because my placement could be anywhere and as they mentioned this evening some placements offer accomodatin at special rates if they're far away. Lots to think about... PLUS Im so disapointed tution fees arent covered by the sw incentive scheme, not sure where I got the idea from originally but I thought they were also covered.
Overall the staff seemed really nice and enthusiastic and it seems like a great place to study.

To keep us waiting to deadline day would be hugely unfair, it's not like they have a different pool of people to choose from

Hi everyone! Been following this for a few days now and decided to join in. Congrats to every one on their offers for UU and best of luck to those of us still waiting on QUB! Just have a few Qs to ask about the info evening (to those who were at it). Does anyone know how many days a week there is on campus for the 2 year RGR? Also when is the official start date? Do we get any choice in the location of placements? Thanks,
