Hello everyone,
I would like to do Bachelor degree in Forensic Psychology, but my problem is that I had to drop my high school studies, because at that time a I had a lot of problems.
I lost my parents when I was 6 and my step-parents threat me very badly, they were abusing me, my step mother was beating me without reason, and she was also really good in manipulation. My step father wasn't much better and when I was child I found hidden a camera in my room to see my how I am getting underdressed before I went sleep, etc.
Even that, I had a good grades even in high school, but I wasn't able to handle it any more so I escaped from home when I was 17. I spent some time on streets, but I managed to survive and somehow I was able to "learn" English, get a job, save some money, and moved out from my country to left this behind.
I moved to Hungary (from the Czech Republic) in the begging I was working just for accommodation and then I was able to get also normal job, now I have finally quite normal life, but there is no future so in summer I would like to move to UK.
I am almost 27 now and I would like to get Bachelor degree, but the problem is that I already missed time period where I was able to graduate - I would have to start over and it would take me 5 years to be able graduate on high school, that's ****ing long time and most importantly I don't want go back to the Czech Republic - never ever.
I really miss that student times and uni atmosphere, so I would really like to go to Uni and I don't want to study for part time, but they wont accept me without formal qualification.
What would you do in my situation?
Someone recommended to me to do Access to Higher Education course, but I also found option to do Certificate of Higher Education at The Open University and after completing this I could go to normal university where I could be able to Bachelor degree in just two years, right? In this way I could save one year, because I wouldn't have to do ACH.
Thank you very much for your opinions, recommendations and sorry for long life story...
