I'm doing an Extended Diploma in Computing (year 12). I recently completed my assignment with over 7,000 words. Now I am preparing for mock exams. I also need to make a huge assignment on computer architecture. My hobby is doing maths in free time, and also programming. Now I’m thinking about whether I should do A level maths; since I really enjoy doing maths.:beard:

Python, but on a basic level.:colondollar: I would say I’m not ready for the mock, just because I didn't revise that much.:smile:

I admire anyone who knows any form of programming language! It's something I've always wanted to learn but just never got round to it :colondollar:

I'm sure you'll do great in your mocks. When do they start? :smile:

Why Warwick over Leeds?

That's fair enough. Cyber security is a great area to get into! Any idea where you'd like to study?

I did work experience in both areas and I came to the realisation that I preferred being in a hospital setting rather than a corporate environment. There's a camaraderie amongst the Radiographers now that I've been on placements across Leeds, it is absolutely enjoyable and there's always a guaranteed job at the end of the course.
hey
i’m a year13 student currently studying btec level 3 applied science. i’ve applied for diagnostic radiography at the university of leeds. i’ve heard back from 3 universities and completed 2 interviews. my third one is next week. i haven’t heard anything from leeds yet. how long did they take to get back to you and did you have an interview first or did you just get an offer straight away ?
