hi i'm doing 120 points at level 3 computing and psychology this year - i don't have a choice in it as the faculty have decided to stop my degree strand without allowing a transfer to the new course without taking on additonal modules. For me I've found it pretty much impossible to do that many courses in a year while keeping focus and maintaining grades. depends on what grades are acceptable to you. I wouldn't do it out of choice. If you have a clear idea of what you want to do for your project and project management ability that would probably be a big help.

Hi there,

I am enrolled to start Computing, ICTand Business (joint honours BSc) in September/October. I have also applied on the Government student finance and it said at least 6 weeks until I hear any more and it's been about 9 weeks now. I am wondering when I will hear or if anyone has yet?

Mine took 3 weeks, have you logged onto the site to check?

Thats where I discovered I had been approved, just waiting for my declaration to arrive now.

2.1 or 2.2 would be ok but I do want a 2.1 I work in education and do get the holidays. So will be doing my project this summer (well a lot of it)

are you sure its something the tutor will agree? someone else i spoke to ended up with a grade 4 just because his tutor didn't like his project - could be worth checking with current tutors or in forums. maybe worth using an online overall grade calculator and putting in possible worst case scenario marks to see what you get. I guess it depends if the grade quality is more important to you than the speed of completion and also what you know from past experience about your actual abilities of studying multiple courses.

Look where? I've looked on the student finance website as well as the open uni website and there's nothing on there.. do you think I should apply again?

On the student finance website when you log in it should show where your account is. Mine says approved. There is also a correspondence bit that will show what they've sent you
