University Certificates - UCAS Points??

Eh, how did you graduate if you only got Level 1 certificate?

University Degrees Are 3/4 Year Studies. We studied for 1 year which is accredited by a certificate. it is worth 40 credits which is what you recieve in a university degree course after 1 year also. so basically seeing as we have already completed a year's study at university and have the qualification to show for it, will this improve our chances or give us an edge so to speak in getting that very competitive place in places such as Oxbridge/Queen Mary when we are pitted against people of the same qualifications as us but without previous university study experience?

No idea. But the 'degree' you studied doesn't seem very academic.

We didn't study a degree and wether or not it is academic is not the question.
Where in any of your couple of posts have you answered anything to do with the topic. If you do not have the capabilities or intelligence to answer a simple question and stay ontopic instead of drifting off into your own dream world then please persist from posting in any of my topics because you certainly are not helping anyone out especially yourself because it makes you look somewhat of a lowlife.

Oh my life, what is your problem? I'm trying to ascertain whether or not it would be beneficial, like you asked.

And how on earth do I look like a lowlife? I don't know what the course you took entailed, because all I've got to go on are those articles. I merely said it wasn't very academic, because it didn't seem so from the articles, and you wanted to know if it would help with your application in an academic sense.

Bottom line is - who knows? Ring whichever uni you want to go and ask them. Being as it appears you were the first lot to be awarded the certificate, then I'm not sure anyone on here can provide you with a concrete answer.

It won't get you any UCAS points, because it's not something included in the UCAS tariff (see http://www.ucas.ac.uk/candq/tariff/).

What universities think of it will depend on the universities and what course you apply for.

Read that and see wether it changes your assumption on what it is. You need to get out more Scot because if that narrow mind gets any narrower you'd be a line .

Oh and thanks for that nikki great help.

No offence, but I doubt anyone can be bothered to read that website. No one on here can tell you want universities will accept it, or wether it will give you a lead over other candidates, so email or ring admissions tutors.

And if you snap at people, they wont be willing to help, or give you serious answers.

"On completion of this programme the successful student will have knowledge and understanding of :
1. principals of active citizenship
2. principals of community leadership
3. principals of project management for neighbourhood renewal"

So, who are these mysterious principals of active citizenship?

I was going to point out that it's entirely meaningless.

And no, Mr. Thread Starter, your thing isn't of any particular importance, nor will it get you very far.

Also, a year at uni is 120 credits, not 40.

Was gonna say it was 120 but then I'd just be showing myself as a low life again.

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING 2 WAS ANSWERING ANY OF MY QUESTIONS EXEPT FOR THE PART WHERE SHE CLAIMED SHE HAD NO IDEA.

No idea. But the 'degree' you studied doesn't seem very academic.

The point of this topic was not to argue wether or not it will take me anywhere. I am doing 4 a levels aswell in which i'm predicted 4 a's but thats beside the point. What i want to know is:

will this improve our chances or give us an edge so to speak in getting that very competitive place in places such as Oxbridge/Queen Mary when we are pitted against people of the same qualifications as us but without previous university study experience?

AND:

wanted to know wether the university certificate which is on its own worth 40 credits also qualifiable for UCAS points.

And i never snap out, was just getting a little annoyed that fleece was not answering my question and just wanted to dispute the fact i "graduated" and wanted to state her opinion about it not being "academic" which i already know but it is more than most people infact anyone has ever done in college before so i was just curious and had to ask the above questions.

But it seems the jealousy and envy in some people got a bit too much.
