I'm interested in this too.

It depends on how long you've been in higher education.

You can get funding for the length of your course (the one you want to go into) plus one year, minus any previous years spent in higher education.

For example, if you want to do another standard 3 year degree after you've already completed one your loan would max out at 3+1-3 years, so one year.

There's a chap on my course who's already got one degree and went straight into this one.
He doesn't get a student loan but he does get a bursary from the university itself for being a champion fencer. As in with swords not stolen car stereos.

>>3487
No, fuck you, it's about what people experience in university.

>>3477
thanks for the link, added to my reading list

No surprise these fucking lightweights were all tucked up in bed by midnight.

>>3482

They are middle class? I just thought they were always working class cunts with a bit of dosh for a shit wardrobe brought to them by G-Star Raw.

>>3500

All the LADS I know are middle class, and some pretty well off. But really, it's a mentality thing rather than a money one. You don't need to be rich or poor to be a complete cunt.

But as >>3486 says, coming up to my finals now every LAD I know has given up caring about their degree, because they simply can't salvage it.

>>3426

>It's all about airflow over partially solid structures and estimating wetted areas for drag equations, if you're interested.

That does sound pretty interesting. Is there anything particularly fun worth posting on /uhu/? Have you ever considered building a mechanical dolphin?

>>3427
>It's more a question of how you justify it on a personal basis than to anybody else
Yeah I know, that's what I addressed. I wouldn't be uncomfortable with it at all. Remember nothing actually matters, you're still gonna die and all of your achievements, along with your sins, will be rendered meaningless upon death.

>>3429

That's a bit of a convoluted way of legitimising it, but I suppose some people are satisfied that the end justifies the means. I suppose that's what the lads who buy medals and dress up as war veterans think to themselves anyway. There's nothing quite like free cake from the Poppy Appeal.

Allegedly.

>>3422
5th year + retake year and yes. My big mistake was doing a placement year. I got used to being paid to do shit and had no motivation at all to study and just couldn't get myself to do anything out of hours. Also a few brain problems but nothing specific.

I got a diploma of higher education which I can use to restart a final year if I want. Also able to convince non uni foke its a degree of sorts.

>>3434
Damnit. You had me convinced for a while I could use my similar certificate of failure to gain entry onto a final year. Turns out mine's actually a Certificate of Higher Education, so I'd much more likely be looking at a second year and it's much harder to justify to myself that extra year.

>>3431

I still don't know how this is done mate.

>>3450

Ignore that.

You might want to get yourself a bad boy similar to this.

>>3469

You can't spot a push-up bra on A cups lad? I'm disappointed.

>>3471
Also, you can tell that the dress is too tight on her from the way it is digging into her chest. If she had a decent sized bosom it would be spilling over the top.

I bloody hate it when fat goths wear corsets and basques that are clearly too small for them and they have their baps flapping around everywhere.

>>3464
C-cups in a push up bra? She deserves the fine for claiming that's a great rack!

>>3473

I just find her smug and self-satisfied posing rage-inducing.

Her claim that she has "a great rack" did deserve attention from above on the grounds of its inaccuracy.

>>3476
I (genuinely) like that she doesn't regret the manifesto and how she "ruefully smiled" when admitting it was a learning experience. Though I fear her choice to involve the papers demonstrates she hasn't learnt enough.

>>3479

Don't bother with law. My ex-flatemate studied law and can't find work as a lawyer, nor can any of his coursemates as far I am aware.

>>3481
Likewise my mate has a masters in Law, a fair bit of experience working (for shit pay) at lawyers firms and can't find proper work. I'm sure it'll pay off in the end though.

My mate has a law degree and he's a personal trainer now.

Depends on how old you are but I'd say you will either be too young to really have a good go at education abroad (as in your marks might suffer) or old enough that you will be kicking yourself later on for having to spend 2 years sorting your life out.

The job market is full of people who did a conversion course so don't expect the degree to be something that puts you ahead so no you really might want to rethink this

Cheers lads, really helpful

>>3466
Your uni may well still accept you on that basis, so it's worth asking first. Also, if they've refused you on that basis, they're unlikely to accept you next time with an extra qualification.

>>3467
Thanks for the reply

Some unis will require you to complete all your courses in a single academic session, but that's only the really prestigious places I believe. The vast majority will take into account any recent qualifications, as long as they're not really old and outdated. I have a friend who fucked up on her A-levels and got rejected, but who is currently doing a single additional A-level at college and received some offers provided she gets a D on this extra A-level, meaning the older ones were taken into account too.

UCAS result don't get wiped otherwise the Open University wouldn't work and I wouldn't of been able to use it to get myself into higher education.

I could suggest that you bang out a couple of short courses with the OU in a relevant subject but it would really depend on how your university would feel about that.

>>3474
Open University! Why didn't I remember that existed?

But thanks to you and >>3470 for replying, once again.

>>3457
if you're over 25 and living away from parents for over a year you don't need to consider their income and its all based how broke you are.

I think.

>>3459
I don't think they do support for filthy foreigners.

How much would you need to earn by working part-time to compensate for the loss of housing benefit?

>>3452

Are you wanting to study at A-Level or degree standard?

You can study A-Levels and claim JSA as long as you are still looking for full-time work.

You would not be eligible for JSA as a University student but I think you may be able to claim Income Support as a full time student in certain circumstances.

Another option is to apply for a student loan to pay for your course fees and accomodation costs.

"Full time" courses are only 15 hours a week, mate.

You can claim benefit and do an access course, it's fine. You're allowed to do something up to 15 hours a week.

>>3455

This. Also the college you will be attending will most likely have a dedicated team to dealing with this exact situation. Go and speak to them, see what is available to you and make sure you use it. However out of pure curiosity what do you think the end result of you doing those courses will be?

>>3456
Though the dedicated team may consist of one person and it may be wholly inappropriate to use words like 'dedicated' and 'competent' to describe to them.

>>1803
I honestly detest this line of reasoning.

>>3442
It's a science, but an oversubscribed one and often the people that harp on about how their life goal is to be a psychologist don't realise that it's a proper science and the experimenting needs to be coordinated and displayed correctly so they flake out.

Three of my friends did psychology at uni, they had the opportunity to follow it up with a clinical psychology doctorate (working with the NHS for 3 years, starting salary of £25k) but for some reason they passed on this.

Three years later, one of them works for a mental health charity, one of them works in a prison and the other is on the dole. If you're going to do a psychology degree then I strongly recommend you volunteer or do relevant internships over the summer.

>>3443

Coordinated and displayed correctly?

>>3445
As in, treat like a proper experiment and the results processed statistically. The number of people I've known to complain that they have to do maths in their psychology degree is staggering.

>>3436
Yes

Do all of them have to reply before I can choose?

Yes

>>3436

Thank you. Darn. They will have had a month soon and still nothing. Cheers. Over and out.

<slowpoke.scr>

>>3458
You can withdraw your application on track though.

I fear I'll always think of The Amazing Atheist and his banana-filled solo sex tape when presented with a banana.

>>3404
s'funny, I'm in the exact same situation, and even have a tendancy to post the exact same picture. I don't think I'm drunk enough to post that without remebering it given that it was only two hours ago, I'll need a mod to confirm that.

The last girl I kissed was....six months ago, beginning of October. My mate has just broken up with his gf fof two years, he went back with her tonight.

I just checked my downloads folder, I hate that image saved under the exact same name.

I probably posted OP.

fuck it. Alcohol, eh.

>>3407
You didn't need me (you could have just clicked the name Anonymous), but here I am confirming that alcohol is fucking with your memory.

>>3408
Hehe

>>3409
Replying to a post without having read the second half of it is a bad habit of mine.

It turns out that IT lads by and large know how to operate Google. They will at some point figure out that they need to ask the Interwebs about the quality of their pipe.

Otherwise, the students are getting a decent deal. You're providing them one package between the three, which is cheaper than the three flats each getting their own package, and presumably you're still charging them less than they'd pay for that package individually. It's not a con when everyone wins. Don't know if Virgin's contract bans reselling, but as long as you're paying the bill they're not likely to care.

>>3392

You shouldn't need to be a "consumer law" undergraduate to know what "fit for purpose" means, lad.

>>3395
Don't acknowledge him, he's just another tedious little man who projects his idiocy and ignorance onto others by maintaining that it is beyond the bounds of possibility for someone to know about more than one subject in any detail.

>>3386
Hopefully Aston in Birmingham.

>>3396
What, are you doing personality psychology? Fuck off.

>>3395
Why did you put consumer law in scare quotes?

>>3321
Urgghhh leave that teen morality shit at the door.

>Hello England, this is newchap. I am looking into studying something related to messing with visual ephemera. Have worked in design a couple of years. Care for theorists of how media fucks with society. Want to make it better. A language for those with no words. All that jazz. Now please..

I understand all of those words, but the paragraph is devoid of meaning.


>Tell me which course I would enjoy. (Comm.) Design is too easy. What is your knack?
>What are the unis to look at with an average portfolio? And a decent conscience?

You are embarking on life with such hopes and dreams, enjoy them while you still can.

Thank you rainmen, the enthusiasm here is baffling. See you at Middlesex.
