Social work 2015

Hi everyone (sorry just sending it out a second time just in case some did not see it and may have advice that can help me

Would really appreciate your advice. No offence but preferably someone with kids, as I have four, but on the other hand I would welcome feedback from anyone who has no children but can give me some real sound advice as a lot hangs on my decision in terms of childcare vs the quality of teaching. I am looking to study BSc social work this September at the Uni of West London which is 1 and a half hours away but I was so blown away by the whole process, the interview, the structure, the lectures' presentation that I simply loved it. University of East London is the nearest Uni to me and though it's not bad and I enjoyed my open day for offers only my heart is drawn to west London uni. The distance is crippling but the level of teaching looks solid. As I said I have four kids, youngest is 2 can go to childminders others in school. I would attend Uni of east London 2 full days 1 half day, uni of west London 2 half days 1 full day

Please help

I live in East London and have decided to go to UEL. I did my BA there and it's not so bad! The teachers for the MA Social Work (which i'm sure are the same for the BA) look amazing. I have a son and couldn't possibly drop him to nursery and then get for classes at 9 at the other universities I was accepted in to, so chose UEL.

You'll be getting a free tablet too!

Aww sorry to hear that! I still haven't had any news which is worrying me! Don't really want to ring them to rush them into an answer I don't want😣 sounds a good plan with the cheesecake though!

Hi. How did you get on with Stirling and the rest of the uni's?

Hi, I was rejected from Stirling and York which was disappointing, but got offers from Northumbria, Edinburgh and Leeds☺️
Finally made my decisions and firmed Leeds and took Northumbria as my insurance!
How did you get on, any luck from Stirling?

Hi has anyone else been offered a place at Stafford? I went to the selection day yesterday and got offered a place today!

I've got unconditional offers from Brighton, Sussex and York - not sure which to choose!! Anyone else have offers from these and/or recommendations!?

Is anybody else studying at York?

I started my first year in September at mmu we are in four days a week but a couple of the days are half days, we have assignments but these are manageable, we are in mostly half 9 til 3.30 but sometimes they let us go earlier, when we have a half day we are in until about 12 so this is really good, when you are qualified these hours are similar, it's based around a 9-5 job but sometimes you may have to work later in the evening or be on call, yes you can specialise in adoption and fostering and you can choose to do just these on your placement as well if you wish, in second year you start your placement Which is three days a week and then you are in uni two days, so a bit more demanding but they're only preparing you for what your job will be like, our teaching year finishes in April, then we only have one assignment to submit and we are done for the year so I think this is really good, at mmu it is 100% coursework so no stress or pressure from exams, you simply submit one assignment per topic you do throughout the year and it all adds up to your final grade, hope this helped wish you all the luck, tell your sister to get some more experience like maybe do a few days volunteering at women's aid

Hi everyone, I am applying for 2016 entry and I have an assessment day coming up for Middlesex University next Wednesday. What should I wear (I'm a girl) and should I read books on the reading list?
