UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**

Dudes help, Manchester or Loughborough for aeronautical engineering, insurance?

Off to Leeds in September to study Social Science

Even though I don't know you.. I'm really pleased for you.

Seen your numerous threads over the past year!

Have offers for History from SOAS or Sussex, someone help me decide!! I can't decide between ASIAN based or European based history, I would like to go onto postgrad and it would help.

Is anyone else still waiting for a response from one of there uni's? I applied back in December and I'm still waiting for a a decision from essex :/

Nottingham or Southampton for Mechanical Engineering?? D:

I've got the dilemma of choosing between Notts and Sheffield for Mech Eng. :/ Probably going to go with Notts though. great place and really good for mech eng as well!

Southampton is also one of the best for mech eng, so really dont know. it all comes down to the City i guess. Have you visited both yet?

Found the details for the foundation course at UWE... it is in Health Professions. Succesful completion of it gives automatic access to one of their degrees (including child nursing)

Quote from their site:

There are nine pathways through the Foundation programme. After successful completion of the Foundation programme and a clear Health Screening questionnaire, you will automatically progress onto a place on one of the following undergraduate programmes which can be taken full-time:

including:

BSc(Hons) Children's Nursing

Children's nursing encompasses all ages from neonates to adolescents. The tendency for children to be cared for at home wherever possible means that those admitted to hospital are acutely or critically ill, and in need of highly skilled nursing care. Increasingly sophisticated nursing technical procedures need to be underpinned by an in-depth understanding of the psychosocial-biological sciences. Students undertaking this branch programme will undergo a wide range of experiences that will equip them to care for children both in hospital and in the wider community.

Will take you a year longer but you'll get funding and its certainly an option. Its meant for people who don't quite qualify for direct entry to nursing so you'd have to apply on the grounds that your humanities aren't quite right and you want extra health experience. They had places on the foundation in extra last time I looked.

No i haven't been to either. Got visit days arranged next month. Have you been to Nottingham? If so, is it nice? Heard the City is pretty rough though!!
