Yes I am. I've officially handed my notice in today, so I'm rather excited/nervous now. It's really happening!

Just an update, I was told today by one of heads in the department that my name is on the recommendation list but we will be informed officially by next week!

Yes it was a tough process! Still no news on the recommendation list. I contacted them and I was emailed back that they hope to contact students individually by the end of this week. The suspense is sure not helping.

I've done the DBS check and took in my Certs today. I was told won't get an unconditional confirmation until the DBS's out. I've applied for the bursary, got a text today confirming receipt.

I haven't checked out the reading list yet all because I don't know for sure if I'm be studying this year, it all depends on my name being on the recommendation list. I wish us both good luck and I hope we have good news for our selves by Friday if the list does comes out

Hi, Well done you. But this is dragging on. The email stated that it would be by the end of July. If people are being contacted individually it means that some are not on the list. That doesn't sound too good. Just hope that the two of us are on the list. Have a good weekend.

I've been nominated by my university for a bursary but have been told by that I won't find out until after the start of the course if I'm definitely getting a bursary!

Still haven't got a timetable or start date from the university either! Is anyone else in this situation?

Hi first 78,

I am in the exact same situation, however received a phone call from the Uni saying I was on the list to receive a bursary. Hopefully we will find out more information soon! :smile:

Hi LEB92,

Glad I'm not the only one in this situation. I'm finding it so frustrating as it can't be long until the course starts...a bit of notice would be nice!

Hi :smile:

Did anyone on here apply to Birmingham to do the masters? Applying in September and I'm already a student there but I'm really nervous about the exam/interview. Any tips or tips in general if you didn't apply to Birmingham?

Thanks :smile:

Hi, What Unis are you at. I've been accepted onto London Met, but am still waiting to find out if I'm on the bursary list. I suspect not given the length of time it is taking, but it would be good to know either way as I have to decide what to do next if I do not get the bursary.

Hi did you get your recommendation email? I got mine on Thursday evening saying they've recommended me. I so feel relieved at least I know what I'm doing now. Lemme know if you got yours too.
Hi all, is anyone starting the course in Manchester this year?

Hi, sorry for the delay and responding. I got my email two weeks ago. So am now planning for the 23rd. Have checked the criteria re, the bursary. If you have lived in the UK for 3 years and in England from 1st Sept and your on the Uni list, then everything should be okay. The next is how much maintenace grant you get.

I am looking for a part-time job as I will need additional income when doing the course. I suspect most of us are in this situation.
