What you studying at 6th Form?

Media, Psychology and English Language at A2 Level ^_^ I do really like all of my subjects actually :wub:

 

You're doing Journalism aren't you? :o That's what I'm applying for soon, I will have many questions for you soon :rofl:

I'll look forward to it :lol:

 

And I didn't really "enjoy" any of my subjects at A Level, if i'm being brutally honest. They each had their moments, but usually I couldn't stand the constant deadlines and most of the classes were extremely dull :(

 

I took ICT at A-Level, and Eng Lang/Lit, Art and DT: Product Design at A2... passed all of them! :dance:

Wow! Well done :o I know how hard it was for me last year, I passed 4 subjects out of 5 - Physics was just too difficult for my English-trained brain to understand -_- I'm not a Mathsy person I'm afraid :P

AAAAAAAAAARGH! the evil M-word :arrr:

 

I despised Maths... couldn't get my head round it. Dropped it like a bag of $h!t after Yr 11, and never looked back :lol:

 

And by 'passed' by the way, I meant 'scraped'.. seriously :lol: Still, it was enough to get me into uni ^_^

 

I'm sure since as you enjoy your subjects more than I did mine, you'll be able to focus a bit more and you'll end up passing easily. It always helps when you're interested in a subject, I find -_-

Well last year I got A-B-B-C, which I'll be absloutely ecstatic with if I get that this year too ^_^ As long as I get into a good uni I don't mind.

 

Where are you?

Where are you?

 

University of Sunderland - not exactly renowned for its physicians and philosophers, but if it gets me a decent-paying job, i'm past caring :lol:

Oh, I think that's one of my choices! :o The journalism course good there? It seems to be one of the only ones that does it really :unsure: And it's asking for fairly high grades too.

Really?! :blink:

 

Yes, the journalism course at Sunderland is recommended because it has some sort of official certification. And try not to worry so much about the grades - I got into the course even with 40 UCAS points less than it was asking for!

 

If you do come to Sunderland, you'll get 2 2-hour practical Journalism workshops where you get taught the basics and you'll also get the chance to go out and so some hands-on stuff. You'll also be required to take 4 hours of Shorthand a week (1 hour per session, 4 sessions a week), which suck. The current lecturers are a bit patronising, tbh. On top of that you're given a 1 hour lecture about the History Of The Press, which is where a lecturer will stand and speak and you have to take notes on the important points. To go with this, you'll also have an hour-long seminar, which is pretty much where everything you've been told in the Lecture is re-inforced, and it also allows for discussion and any questions you want answered.

 

You also have to take another module worth 20 credits and there's a 2-hour Study Skills lecture you have to attend once a week -_-

 

This may seem like a lot, but most timetables only cover 4 days of the week, and it's highly unlikely you'll ever have a full day of sessions, so you have plenty of free "study" time ^_^

Sunderland sucks :kink:

 

I phoned in sick again today -_-

 

So i'm just here :rolleyes:

Hello Ryan! :dance:

 

I take it today has been another bad day :(

Thanks for the info Michael :D

 

Yeh, I checked so that I only apply for courses with a NCTJ certification - otherwise apparently it's pretty pointless doing one which isn't accredited :lol: And Sunderland is one of about 20 unis in the whole country that does an accredited Journalism course, so they got filtered down pretty quickly :P
