Buckingham University ?

A degree in 2 years can't be good. Why the rush anyway? You will learn more and find it easier in three years (and when I say easier I mean it'll just be less harder).

At least it saves one year of your life and you can go and do a masters in another uni instead of being in your 3rd year

That's what he told me, but I guess he meant a disctinction which is of equivalent standard to a 1st.

Depends on the uni, at mine it's above a first.

Edit: Yey quick reply is back! :biggrin:

It's only a year and seriously at a decent uni you'll be happy to have an extra year to get the work done.

Because international students economise a lot of money.

Ok, decided to look at some information on Buckingham and was surprised to find that only about 12000 people live there! How many pubs do they have?

Chrisateen, i too have been thinking about applying to Buckingham to do Law next year! But my top choice at the moment is Edinburgh and thats with a ABB so its unlikely i'll get in! I didnt realise people predicted AAA would be applying to Buckingham...that makes me a little nervous!

Shouldn't do as I think the grade requirements for Law is BBB. As long as you are predicted those grades and you are able to pay £8,000 a year for 2 years I don't see why they would say no as like I said before there funding comes from the students and the more the better

Thanks, money isnt an issue at all. There just seems to be a bit of ambiguity to it all. I've heard there are lot of people go there instead of uxbridge just wasnt sure why. £8,000- isnt that just for the tuition fees?

Most unis run from late September - early June, which let's say is about 38 weeks. Knock 2 weeks off for Christmas, 2 for Easter and you're down to 34/52. Maybe less with reading weeks etc.

34*3 years = 102 weeks.

At Buckingham it's probably more like 4..5? 46? weeks per year maybe even more. So you're at like 90 weeks over two years. It's not that condensed, but uni holidays are usually just pretty long :smile:

I'll be doing a 43 week course I think...
