Hi
I started studying this course in October, it's great and really interesting. There's no particular pre reading required, the course books cover everything you need to know!

Hey Chloe, How you finding the course? what you doing after you complete? Liam
Hi Liam, finding it interesting and easy to follow! Perhaps a bit slow paced for me, however it'll probably get more intense as time goes on!
Hoping to go onto do a law degree or possibly an open degree, not decided yet!

I'm in my final year studying biology and chemistry...

I did just want to say though, I started off with one of these courses as even though I started at 24 I was new to HE study... My level 1 courses were ok but it took me a while to get into it but when I was it was great. I'm now on for a 1st class degree!! Reason I'm saying this is because even though your new to HE and the books look daunting as hell (especially the sciences and maths) you guys will surprise yourself!!

I wish you all the best

Hi, can you tell me the book name or anything I can read about the course, just want to get ready , I have 2 children I know it will be hard, advance reading might help
Hi

I haven't done any reading outside of the course books - which are sent directly from the uni.

The first unit covers 'individuals'

Some topics that are covered are:

Influences in childhood/teenage years
Whether an individual choose to be healthy
Organising thoughts in psychology
Cultural groups
Migration
Law responsibilities in children and adults
Self motivation

You could look for articles and so on about these topics but honestly I wouldn't panic because the books cover everything you need to know! You'll also get the books a good few weeks before the official start date, so you can get a good head start! :smile:

I got my pack through today. I'm more excited than I have been for years but so so nervous. I'm glad to meet some other people who are studying the same course.
