Travel the worrrrrld dear boy! See something of the place! Rob didn't become the man he is today by sitting in a bedsit eating pot noodles. He was with a shaman in Peru, sipping ayahuasca and facing off his demons at the age of 18, and he's never looked back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Mine are thursday too . Brunel University is my first option, Leicester DMU my second, if anyone went to/lives near/has anything on either that'll be helpful. If all things go to plan i'll join any Landan mags here, but I think I had a stinker so hello third year at sixth form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you try and get in through clearing if they don't accept you? Or will you give it a year and try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin 1 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Throught to clearing. Already looked at it, i can go and do civil engineering in Jordanstown which would be good. But i can't do anything at the moment until magee decide, which they said could take a few days. But fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Plenty of chances for travelling during and after uni, you're a pup fer fuck sake.

ewerk 26311 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well done Clee, glad you got in. Kevin, why are you contemplating civil engineering? Do you know much about it? My advice would be not to go into an area you're not sure about just because you want to go to uni next year. Don't waste thousands of pounds and 3/4 years of your life on a course you're not interested in. I was one grade short when I did my A-levels and instead of going through clearing to a course/uni I didn't really want to be at, I took a year out, re-sat one of the A-levels and got the grades I needed in order to do the course that I really wanted to do.

Phil 6 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Dear Mr GallagherCongratulations; University of Ulster has asked us to tell you that it is offering you a place for Computing (Internet Systems) with DIS, G420; starting in September 2011 at point of entry 1. The conditions of the offer are: This offer is subject to you obtaining A minimum of 280 UCAS Tariff points including GCE A level Grades BB The only reason to go to Uni is for the life experience, and you simply wont get that if you stay at home. I'd seriously consider not doing an IT degree they'll teach you nothing of worth. You'd be better off sitting the Microsoft, Cisco and Citrix exams and build a few VM's -download Microsoft Official Course (MOC) and exams from visualcertexam.com you'll soon get the hang of it. If you get the certs and do all the Microsoft courses you'll should be a shoe in for a small company IT dept. Go down the Uni route and you'll end up in a call center. ** edit ** just seen the course is geared towards websites; This course is aimed at students who are seeking a career within the computing industry, with special emphasis on the design and maintenance of web sites. http://prospectus.ulster.ac.uk/course/?id=8095 All you need is here; http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorials/ Saw its a sandwich course, so not as bad as some courses. I'd still look to get the certs to stand out. Edited August 18, 2011 by Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
