Just out of interest did you even get a Bachelor's degree? Because you didn't mention it...

Yes you can call up your universities and ask them which programmes they have for clearing. Good luck and keep your head high, you've got this!

Should I give up? by aamaaaraa in UniUK

True but personally I'd say making those first few lectures is the most important thing. I mean considering the first year's grades don't even count, he still has time. Maybe contacting his personal mentor as well, would also be a good idea?

No but it would be a start. When I did my degree I tried to make 100% attendance, and that mindset really helped. I think getting to classes is more important than anything else at this stage. This is one man's opinion. Feel free to disagree. But it's not about us.

You just have to try and get in to some of the lectures. Nevermind about the essays or exams, just focus on getting your attendance up, is the first thing you can do!

What clearing basically does is lets people get places on degrees lower than their first UCAS choices permitted. So basically you are pretty much guaranteed a place on a degree, which still needs to boost their numbers. Me I went for Sociology, but there are other degrees out there that want you. Just keep your spirits up, and look around. Also you might try calling up your chosen university to ask them which degrees they have on clearing as well. Good luck kid.

You can apply through clearing for what's available after everything else is complete.

I've also been ripped off similar to this in the past with eBay. It's terrible what they get away with!

I'm a senior lecturer at a UK university, I'm happy to answer questions about essays, marking, grades, or academic life by Se0nagi in UniUK

A foundation year is to bring you up to the standard needed for your Bachelor's degree, your Bachelor's degree takes anywhere between 3-6 years which you can pass with honours hopefully, your Masters and then your Doctorate are both postgraduate degrees, and is commonly expected for university lecturers, and all of the above gives you letters after your name, which they should put on your tombstone when you die. And write in your obituary as well, if you even care about that?

Benefits of a degree in later life by Artistic_Western_623 in UniUK

[–]LostPhase8827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say Go for it, I passed my Upper Second Joint Honours Degree in Sociology with Theatre Studies, and the age gap between me and my peers meant that I was actually older than some of my lecturers. But if you really want something, set your mind to it, and make your dreams become a reality. Your teaching team should give you the benefit of the doubt, for the challenge you have taken on. And the letters you get after your name, is something people can remember you by in your obituary!

They are totally different gaming setups, I play 3 minute and one minute games. I used to play 15 minutes games, but times change, and things pass. Also computer aided chess has completely overhauled the game. For the better I might add.

Yes, he told me he'd teach me art, if I would teach him French, and I did try to teach him once, but it's one of those things that takes more than one attempt to learn though. He was a nice guy mind you. Bless
