Hello ,
I am studing an access to higher education course in business studies , with a view to study logistics ,supply procurement and transport management
I ,for once, have had my admin together and had sent off my ucas app along with my tutors ref for the Dec 2016 deadline and as of last week have been offered my first choice
Midds university - pass 45 credit out of those 12 need to be merits
plus
Greenwich 112 ucas points , not sure what that translates as in credits though ?
As a cheeky bonus for getting my offer in early i have been invited to a meet and greet at midds next week to be scmoozed , i presume , yay go me !

Okay tried posting the table that says all of the UCAS tariff points converted into access credits but wouldn't let me -.-
112 = 30 merits and 15 distinctions

Hi Jade, did you have an interview? How was it? Were the questions fairly basic or not?
I've worked as a nurse before and I currently work in medical research. So I can do all the hands-on stuff, it's more the theory

Hiya, well done on getting an interview! yea had my interview in December then had an offer from them last monday. The interview is really casual, firstly you have your maths test and written task which is pretty simple. Then the group discussion where he just asks the group a few questions which you have to discuss between you all. Just make sure you interact with the others, involve yourself as much as you can. The sort of questions he asks are like how would you deal with certain situations or how can you change the veterinary world etc.
