Hey lovely internet people,
I'm here on The Student Room seeking some objective advice.
It's taken me few jobs and many courses (of which I left) to understand what it was I wanted to do with my life. A few years ago I started an Access to HE course at the London College of Fashion Media and Communications. Unfortunately I suffered some pretty severe depression and missed the hand in date for my extensive report - My teacher knew this and gave me 2 extra weeks to make up, however she failed to fill in the correct paperwork and it meant my extended deadline was invalid and therefor I failed. I was also diagnosed as dyslexic whilst I was there, and without anything but GCSE's I felt dejected and stupid.
Fast forward a few years and I am now a Digital Marketing & Social Media Executive at 21 were I earn decent money and there is a chance of career progression. I love what I've been doing but a part of me really wants to head to University, study hard and graduate. I'd love to prove to my self what I could do if I put my head down and work. I do need to work on my copy writing skills, and spelling and grammar particularly, and I know that I would be supported with this if I went to University as I am dyslexic.
I've been looking at Nottingham Business school for Management with BSc E-Commerce and Digital Business, Nottingham Trent for marketing and possibly Derby for a similar degree. I'd like to keep close to this area, as my long-term partner will be at Nottingham University doing Medicine. Additional things to consider is that I'm a sculler (rowing) and rowing at Nottingham is particularly appealing to me.
Of course I'd need to complete night classes to get a levels around work, however I don't see this to be a problem. I've also listed a few courses I would consider below.
So, thoughts anyone?
