So that lil bit of money did help a fair bit.

Don't get me started on student finance. Its so stupid. Theres girls i go to school with who can get the full grants on student support because neither parent is working...what isnt taken into account if the fact they live in the Hall of their village which has like its own atrium and stuff, all because her parents have inherited so much money. They have enough money to put her throuugh uni 10times and still have some spare to buy a new car t
anywayyy rant over!

I don't think I get any either, it sucksss seriously.

Does anyone know if Glos definitely accept points from AS as part of the requirement for the course? (like.. I already have 40 points from the AS subject i dropped, so does that count towards the 280 i need to get on the course?)

Email admissions or ask the relevant lecturer for the course . . .

[LastLordofTime]

That reminds me, I need to ask about that too XD

[JOSH-L]

Yeah - I'm pretty sure it does count. I'd be really surprised if it didnt.

Like this guy >>

Haha.

[LastLordofTime]

Well, I emailed Ruth Kelham (Head of TVP) over the weekend so I'll know once I get a reply Always better to be safe rather than sorry.

[emmerlie-jay]

I thought i better check the offer and the details on track before i started emailing people incase it was right infront of my nose and then i'd look silly emailing
haha but it wasn't thereee
i'm just going to check the paper letter i got and thennnn email if i still can't find it haha
but I don't really know who to email, course people? or general admin people?

I had a couple of q's about that sort of stuff - I emailed head of admissions.

You might have her email address for "if you have any more queries" kinda thing, most likely on a letter you got from the uni.

I'd get in touch with Admissions/Admin and if they need to, they'll just forward it onto the Head of Dept

Hope that helps EJ!

[emmerlie-jay]

Merciiiii! I will try that sometime.
I can't wait for exams to be over and for the summerrrr because then it's nearly uni time! haha

(on a side note, where are you from in Birmingham Josh?)

Try yougofurther . . .When I was seeking Criminology people (2years ago), there were quite a few Ed. and Geo students then. Worth a shot.

Congrats on the offer
