Hi I’m currently at my last year of studying law in college and hoping to go to uni to study the LLB (Hons) anybody else?

Someone on the Law offers thread has got 4 offers (so far) from great unis - he is taking a CTEC plus an A level in Sociology

I'm studying a level 3 BTEC Subsidiary Diploma in Applied Law (in one year instead of two) and currently drowning in coursework haha

Oh dear! Question is though - are you enjoying your course?

For the most part yes, I really am. I settled in well with my class and I have good teachers that aren't too strict with deadlines (though this may be my demise eventually). Some parts of the course are, of course, less thrilling than others but I like the security of doing a BTEC knowing my efforts don't just come down to a few exams at the end of the course.

Thats brilliant mate. With your skills, you would definitely be suited for a degree apprenticeship in Electrical Engineering. There are different companies that do this particularly Siemens and BAE as these degree apprenticeships are both academically and practically mixed. If you wanted to though mate, a HNC isn't a bad shout. I was just doing some further reserach, BAE do one in Manufacturing Engineering (with electrical engineering as your specialism) and it lasts for four years. The problem with doing a HNC is that it takes 4 years to complete which is equivalent to a level 4 (or first year of a degree). In a degree apprenticeship, you'll be on a higher salary plus it will take the same amount of time.

Here are some questions so that I can do some further research for you:
- Which part of the UK do you live?
- Are you willing to move or travel?
- What specialism would you like to go into?
- HNC or Degree apprenticeship?
- What is the salary that you are looking for? Some degree apprenticeships pay more than others

Thanks for your advice mate.
-so I live in Nottingham
- I don’t mind travelling - Based on my age I really don’t know if I want to do HNC or Apprenticeship.. but more likely Apprenticeship
- For the salary it doesn’t depend on me.

Hi is anyone doing BTEC construction and the built environment?

I'm sure someone will have! Hang in there, and if I spot anyone else I'll make sure to let you know

Who here has exams coming up this month?

I do! - two exams, one this Friday and then another on Monday.

I have two business exams on the same days. I hope I do good they are heavy weighted units

Is that for BTEC Health and Social? How are you feeling for them?
