I put mine in about 11 days ago? And thank you! :smile:

I also got an offer from Cardiff to study Philosophy! :biggrin:

Well done! I'm just hoping that the reason my application is taking longer is because I'm doing English lit/Philosophy, so it's dual honours.
Well done on your offers though :biggrin:

Hello everyone

Just thought I would say that I graduated from Nottingham this year in Philosophy and it was amazing

Go there... its challenging but also there are so many amazing lecturers and the university is fantastic

Changing paths a bit now and am going to study graduate medicine (yes they love the analytical side) but out of my friends they have gone on t do lots of different things ranging from 50k analyst job to business masters to law to advertising

You are very highly sought after if you do well and nottingham is best uni career wise

just a little food for thought...

Just received an unconditional from Nottingham if I firm! I think I m going to accept, how is it? I haven't visited it yet

Out of all the universities I visited, Nottingham is the best.... the campus os the biggest in the uk I believe and its in a fantastic location ...its very close to the city but also to woolaton park which is a massive park area where they filmed the dark knight (the countryside scenes including wayne manor)

the city is amazing night out wise there are 10 super clubs and hundreds of bars
the whole city is based and built for students because there are two big universities

nottingham has best career prospects in uk
the department is very good and the humanities building is brand new

so yes i would accept if i were you

Thanks a lot! I'm very shocked and excited to receive an offer like that. I'm definitely going to firm.

Got my first offer back from Exeter! AAA which is kinda annoying as I got A*AB for my A levels last year so I was hoping for an unconditional :frown:

Will probably still be my firm though - is anyone else thinking of going to Exeter?

I've had an offer from Exeter too! Not too sure if I'll put it as my first choice though, I'm hoping for an offer from Bristol :smile:

Well done on the amazing grades!

Congratulations! What are your other offers/options? No, I don't. I am currently located abroad.

I have an unconditional from Cardiff and an unconditional from Edinburgh so far. I only applied Dec 27th so I don't expect to hear back for a while.

Do you mean 2 A*s for 2 A-levels and then one A for one AS-level?

I've got ABBD AS grades in Psych, RS, History and Eco... Dropped Eco and I'm predicted AAA (only realised I was predicted up once I sent my application off and I saw it on my reference...) Got an ABB offer for history and philosophy of science at UCL but I'm not entirely sure on the course? I also have a reduced offer for nottingham philosophy (ABC) and an offer for philosophy and politics at Birmingham (ABB). SOMEONE PLS GIVE ME ADVICE

I would go with UCL. This course is essentially specialized in philosophy (and history) of science, but you will be able to take other philosophy modules, e.g. metaphysics, ethics, epistemology - as well; though not as many as if you were doing BA Philosophy. It is a perfect degree for getting a job in science policy afterwards, or continuing studying philosophy of science further.
