Hello, and yeah I emailed queens for feedback they don't consider people again to August! And I'm on the Magee waiting list :smile: so maybe I still stand a chance just depends how many people reject their offers etc.

Fran do you know what place you are on the waiting list, because a good few people on here were declining their UU offers, so fingers crossed?!
Does anyone know if you are entitled to an incentive bursary or any grants for the three year ?

I choose full time because my current job couldn't work around the degree so im handing in my notice shortly. I think you need to write down the pros and cons so you can physically see which one would be better, going from my previous degree their was very little diff in part time and full time. phone the school and explain your circumstance or email the course director :-)

How do we apply for the bursary? I have applied for student finance N.I (but I have a loan already, so it'll be a maintenance loan)
