Coventry, Derby and Worcester?

I don't know about Coventry, but I'm applying to Derby and Worcester :smile:

I went to the open day at Worcester yesterday and it looked really good! What course do you want to do?

I've just started at Worcester and love it. Definitely recommend going to one of the open days here and at your other choices so you yourself can compare them.

As someone that comes from not far from Worcester Uni, its ok but it has a small student population whilst Coventry and Derby have large numbers so the towns are more student orientated.

Worcester is also a nightmare when it rains :wink:

Lets just say the town becomes one big river :o:

However the facilities at Worcester are pretty neat and by having a smaller university population you would I guess not feel just like a number where you would at a larger uni.

I'm looking at Journalism and Media and Cultural studies :smile:

Don't you think the male Journalism teacher looked like a cross between Eddie Izzard and Derren Brown!?

Ooh sounds good :smile:

I can't decide between screen writing and journalism. I didn't get to see the journalism people because it was so busy! But I'll take your word for it :P

Where are you from? I'm from near Derby so Worcester's not too far for me. Are you looking at any other unis? :smile:

Sometimes it is so hard to make a chose. Actually for me too! I was thinking a lot what studies program to chose, but I chosen to take Business studies as a general degree which offers many professional opportunities as well as I was always interested in Business.
I'm from Lithuania. :smile:

Yeah, I am planning to apply in Worcester, Derby and Coventry.

I know, I'm still a bit undecided on if I want to do Journalism and Media & Cultural Studies or Media & English Lit.
But on UCAS for Worcester you can't put Journalism and English lit, even though it says so in the prospectus =S

I'm from Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
Yeah the other uni's i'm looking at are Canterbury, Cumbria, Derby and Winchester.
You? :smile:

I'm looking at Canterbury as well Coventry, Derby, Worcester and Middlesex. :smile:

Maybe you know approximately when we'll get offers from universities? If I'm not mistaken I think it will be in January.

I'm also looking at Derby, and Sheffield Hallam, possibly De Montfort :smile:

I went to the Hallam open day on the 4th and thought it looked great :smile:

I think i'm the only person from my school who's not applied to Sheffield Hallam, even though it's about 10 minutes away.

Good luck with your choices :smile:

Have you sent off your UCAS application yet?

Reply 15

Yes, I just sent it today. What about you? :wink:

I dont go to Coventry, but they have a heck of a lot of good facilities, including the cool Lanchester Library. The uni is very large and they just about own every building on their side of the city centre. Student accomodation should be easy and cheap to find. Like many UK universities, there are a lot of internationals so you shouldn't have much difficult meeting people from similar backgrounds.

Transport links from Coventry to the rest of the country are also quite good, much better than Derby and Worcester. For instance, most trains from/to London pass through Coventry. It's right next to Birmingham too (20 mins on train), which is the UK's second major city. So you have access to great shopping, good airport, NEC arena etc
