Maybe any announcement pages? Like how they changed the BMAT to UCAT for some of the med schools now, for things like that. Maybe something exists but I haven’t seen it yet

Maybe any announcement pages? Like how they changed the BMAT to UCAT for some of the med schools now, for things like that. Maybe something exists but I haven’t seen it yet

What sort of thing are you thinking of? a place to discuss the changes or ask questions? there was an announcement thread created when the news broke but otherwise more ad-hoc content afterwards 🙂 let us know what you think!

Oops I must have missed it! Probably more to ask questions as it is so hard to keep track of what unis are saying for different things so it'd be useful to have a place to clarify things.

The usual reminder that there are far more options out there than a traditional uni route.

Make sure you have some goal for what to do with your uni degree before heading off to study just because "you don't know what else to do".

Apologies to anyone I’ve tagged in who doesn’t find this relevant! I know a lot of you are on the path to university study and here at TSR we want to support you in that journey

As many of you know, in the Study Help section of the site we have ongoing live study together sessions happening each week, as well as subject-specific A-level study groups and year group chats for year 12 and year 13.

In the Universities section, we have a dedicated Ask Student Finance England forum and Official Offer Holders threads where you can meet other students considering the same unis as you

What else would you like to see in our Universities forum? What sort of content would you find useful?

Let us know in the comments! All year groups are welcome to have their say!

Although a passion for a subject is also a good reason to study something at degree level!

Agreed but I do find that's a little more romantic and only something I'd support if there were no major financial constraints on the person when they would reach the age of the end of their course.

I think definitely a resources masterpost for students that may benefit from bursary money, contextual offers
Maybe do a post about the Sutton Trust?
Applications are open for both Durham and Cambridge and I think the application for Durham closes March 7th
It's important for students who would come from low income backgrounds with parents that didn't go to uni (and in my case, is also a carer to a parent) that they know they have these options.
