I'm currently studying in college, and I was set out to do a T-Level in Software Development. However I did pretty rubbish in my Computer Science GCSEs so I had to take a BTEC IT course instead, which I regret.
Upon making the decision of doing IT, I was considering doing Football Journalism, and right now iam reconsidering that option. I love Football and I do take an interest in writing about things, so I believe I would thoroughly enjoy this proffesion.
If I decide to do Journalism, I would need to change courses, preferably to A-Levels. Here is what I've thought about changing courses to (bearing in mind we are a term into college, so I will have a LOT of catching up to do.)
A-Level Media Studies
A-Level Film Studies
A-Level RE
I'm unsure whether my college will allow for this to happen, considering iam by no means an "exceptional student" and achieved mostly 5s (and a 6 in English Language) at GCSE level.
I'm wondering if this combination of courses is enough to try get on a degree for Journalism.
I understand it is pretty drastic to change from a BTEC to doing three A-Levels completely unrelated to my current course, and that I will have a lot of catching up to do, however I'm willing to put the hard work in to make this possible.
Has anyone else changed from a BTEC to doing A-Levels a term into college? How did you find it? And is it recommended I complete this change, or am I destined to fail?
