Hey,
Just would like to ask if this university does journalism ? Thanks in advance


Well, I had a quick look on Birmingham's course finder, and found no sign of a journalism course.

You may have better luck finding a course on UCAS's course finder

Most likely, if I don't get an offer from Oxford. There's a small chance my opinion will change, but probably not.

I'm assuming you mean on the day? We split into two groups, and had lunch on tables of ~4, and talked to a professor. After a couple of talks, we had a tour around the university, the department, the research facilities and accommodation. It was nice to spend the day taking with other physicists!

Cheers! Yeah they do, they just don't show up in league tables, because there first year is classed as general, and you specialise in the 2nd year, but they are ranked quite highly for general! I visited a friend in Birmingham last week, and the night life is insane! Let me know if/when you firm it! It's quite likely I will ATM, unless Exeter is insane when I visit :P

I don't think they do, I thinks it's just civil, mech or electrical! Yeah, when you look on the league tables there aren't that many unis for chem eng! Yeah definitely, Birmingham fits that bill! Ha, I'm **** at football, the only 'sport' I'll be doing is hitting they gym and lifting weights :L will do buddy, I'll let you know what I decide when the time comes, who knows we could both end up in Bham!

Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier! My ucas got sent on the 28th of October, and my course is Mechanical Engineering. They didn't send me an acknowledgment email or anything, got a letter today saying they were giving me an offer! I'm on a gap year tho, and already interviewed last year, so they said I didn't have to interview again this year, so I think I got my offer earlier than other mech engineers! What course are you applying for ? :smile:
