Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Change In Vocation

Hi guys,

Looking for some advice – now a warning. I'm aware you'll think I'm the most indecisive person on Earth but to cut a long story short, during the last year I've worked alongside the BBC throughout the general election and being involved with a national party and their leadership election and realised that politics is my calling – the only problem is getting a degree in the subject.

So, my current qualifications are quite random. I have average GCSEs, a NVQ Level 2, a Level 3 subsidiary diploma in Art & Design and a Foundation Degree in Fashion. I'm due to embark onto further studies at Brighton university to further my fashion studies, but I honestly think I'd like to try and get into politics and may regret it if I do not. With my current options do you guys believe theres any way I'd be accepted through clearing, or some other course? Would I have to do an access course? What would be my route or am I basically screwed?

I do hope I've made sense and I'm grateful for any advice you guys can offer,
DG
