What are the options regarding taking second degrees? Is all funding/student loans a no-go past the first one?

I'm in a degree I despise because it was better than being forced by the jobby to don a reflective vest and shovel shit and salt for no pay. The only real option for employment after graduation is becoming a teacher, and after several months of volunteering as a TA I think I would rather chew my own legs off and claim disability.

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.

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.

Anyone else at the dissertation stage of their degrees? I should have started my well before now, and I now only have 5 weeks, with no title, question, focus or locus.

I think my problem was choosing English Literature and Media as my degree, it's so broad I can't even pick a topic to research.

Anyone else struggling in this late stage?

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.

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.

A student has sent a rejection letter to the University of Oxford following her interview for a place there.

Elly Nowell parodied the institution's own rejection letters, stating Magdalen College "did not quite meet the standard" of other universities. Ms Nowell, 19, from Winchester, Hampshire, told the BBC the interview left her feeling like "the only atheist in a gigantic monastery."

'Sup Lads

Just weighing up my options at the moment for uni. General idea is to become a barrister, but I'm not so sure about taking a direct law course. I'm considering taking a classics course, then taking a conversion course to law. Another idea is taking the classics course abroad in a free tuition country- however they tend to be high rent, high food prices etc.
The cons of taking the classics in Britain is that it takes extra time, and will be quite expensive, but the pros is that I've got extra stuff to put down.

Can any of you guys tell me about this plan? Crazy, yes? No?

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

3466 So, UCAS points
Can they be accumulated through multiple courses, or is it a once-only sort of thing? I'm doing Level 3 Dip in Media Production and the university I want to go to requires a DMM grade for any good chance to get in. Trouble is, I was a lazy wanker in my first year and it's likely MMM would be the best grade I can hope for. MMM is 240 UCAS points, DMM is 280.

Could I go somewhere else for some sort of one-year course to increase my points or does the entire UCAS slate get wiped clean once a qualification is qualificationated, however meagre?

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.

3457 The Great Student n' Credit Swindle
Well.. the form is done and I swagger off to the copy shop. And you gentlemen (and even gentler ladies) could help with a few questions. With no delectable English moniez - no studentry for crusty old EEA clown. I will study something creative, so no fear biting please, except for plumber and taxi lads.

- How do background checks work? My parents do make a decent Euro, but they spend a lot as well and are actually in some major debt. So neither would, nor could there be any support here, which is fair enough as I am more or less 28 years old.

- Signed passport copy. Don't /google me off, I tried, there is nothing much. Paper said coppers, religion pork and lawyers. The last does seem to exist but will cost a pretty penny I assume. How did you do this?

- Course starts October. Enrolment was mid April. Form said "start in February" but this must be for the usual term dates, right? How long can I expect until the answers. Will hustle with banks and such if it doesn't work out. Who did that, and how did it go?

I'm 21 and currently I'm getting housing benefit and claiming Jobseekers after being made redundant from my job as an IT technician.

What I wanted to do was to go back to education and study English Language and Literature so I applied to an access course in Arts & Humanities at my local college (inb4 "hurr durr enjouy ur job flipping bugers xD2")

However, I've just learnt that people in my situation don't qualify for housing benefit if they're full time students due to not having any dependants.

Obviously I've asked them if working part-time would help me out in any way but the answer is still no.

Moving back in with my parents is out of the question also as both of my parents will be out of work in a couple of months.

What I'm asking you /uni/ is if there's any way around this horrible mess of affairs or if anyone is in the same position as me or has been? How did you see your way through it?

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.

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.

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.
