I was doing a degree in combined honours in social sciences, this meant I could choose modules from three subjects. Mine were sociology, hisotry and philosophy.
I was at Durham University.
I have grade B a-levels in economics, history and english literature. (In all seriousness if I had bothererd to revise I would have got higher grades :mad: @self) and grade A general studies. I also have GCSEs (3A*, 6As, 1B)
I needed ABB in A levels to get into the course, but managed an A in History and German and a B in French. Had 4 A*, 5 A's and 2 B's at GCSE level as well.
Although I hear the A level system is totally changed these days, do you still recieve 3 grades at the end, or do you get 6??
I graduated a year ago, but still....
What is your degree in? BA (Hons) Visual Communications (Graphic Design)
What uni? Surrey Institute of Art & Design
What A levels & grades (or other qualifications) did you have when you applied? 11 GCSEs and a BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design
I had 2 A Levels English Combined (D) Sociology (E) and an AS Level in Business Studies (E).
I have 11 GCSES (1A, 2B's, 7C's, 1F)
I had 2 A levels in History and English - a B and C
and 7 Olevels, one GCSE.
I graduated in 1991 and only went to work in a library in 2000 after years working in Bookselling. I am the only qualified librarian where I work and its not reflected in my pay or status, in fact its not really needed to do my job.
My A-Levels were in French, Maths & Physics...(I originally wanted to be an optometrist in franch, ok!) Got grades B, D, D respectively....although I was 8 months pregnant at the time of sitting them, so I'm sure I could have done better.
University of Salford
Did a BTEC National Diploma in Computing getting mostly Merits. GCSE's consist of C's with a couple of B's and D's.
As entry qualifications I had five A-Levels:
Law A
History A
English Language A
Economics A
General Studies B
I also had 12 GCSEs (6A*s, 6As) and various other minor qualifications, like two foundation NVQs. (And some swimming certificates
I presume you wanted Northumbria because its LLB included the LPC or the BVC (as relevant) and because you probably lived quite close? Excluding its good - and growing - reputation, was it mainly a cost-saving decision? If so, it seems wise to me!
edited to say i work and study there so may be a bit biased :rolleyes:
Ooh, were you downgraded by a bastardy marker then?
Anyway, I did German (A), History (B) and French (B) at A-level and got 1 A*, 3 As, 5 Bs and a C at GCSE.
I'm now doing History with German at Bristol, just coming to the end of my year abroad studying History at Hannover. I think I'm heading for a high 2.1 if I work my arse off next year :nervous:
Same here this year it doesnt seem to be getting much better however we got our scripts back in January and found they didnt have a clue what they were doing and on a subject which requires your opinions it was marked incorrectly, we complained and they said they could not do anything yet the years exam they will make sure it is sorted (but it wouldnt benifit us because our retakes were already printed!)
Biology was a sham too, not to mention the AS english this year as well!:(
a levels : A, A, B
as levels: C, D
gcses : 3 As*, 5 As, 2 Bs.
Needed ABB but got AAA In english Literature, history and theology. Also had 1A*, 5As, 4Bs and 1 D @ GCSE
Got 5 A's at A-level in General Studies, History, Maths, Further Maths and Physics. Got 6 A*s, 2As and 2Bs at GCSE level.
Got 3 B's (PE, Maths, Psychology) and an A (Gen Studies) at A Level, oh, and a German AS. 2 A*'s, 7 A's, 2 B's at GCSE.
I did it at Sheffield Hallam University.
I have to say that, if I did everything over again, I would probably not do this degree. I would be more inclined to have gone on some kind of teaching course instead, and done a more general degree subject.
I'm going to Bangor in Sept, although I'll be a mature student.
What difference does that make? Yoù'll probably find that your mature studentness has no real baring on your time at Bangor - you'll only be 2 or 3 years older than the majority of freshers anyway, so it shouldn't be any kind of barrier. If you want to see *real* mature students, you should try sitting in at a lecture in Hannover, where at least half the audience seem to be in their mid 50s! It really is a bizarre experience...
Got 3 A-levels (A in French, B in Geography, C in Business Studies) and an AS-level (A in Media Studies).
GCSEs - 2 A*s, 5 As and 2 Bs - bastardy Double Award Science stopping me getting straight As!!
