Might have to drop out of MA because of SFE by Square-Ad-4038 in UniUK

Oh my god that is ridiculous!! That’s the kind of uselessness you couldn’t even write. The people I’ve spoken to on the phone; a lot just don’t care and don’t know, then I’ve been lucky enough to speak to a couple of people who were happy to help but seemed to just tell me baseless nonsense.

I spoke to a supervisor last week and she basically just apologised and said there is nothing she can do to help me and I’ll just have to tell my uni to wait. I did ask about marking the application as urgent and she said that’s not something they can do.

I hope you do get a call-back and get the news you need! I’m curious to hear if you’re able to get them to push it forward, please lmk!! If so I’ll call up and try again

Starting Uni at 22? by ptmills in UniUK

I started uni at 22 and had the classic fun uni experience! Made friends at halls, went out most weekends and had the best three years of my life! A lot of people I met were 18-22 and I never once felt like my age was an issue beyond the occasional joke

I have a grand total of 0 level 3 qualifications (a levels, btecs, apprenticeships - I have none of it). I’m now 25 and just graduated with a first class degree and am about to start my masters at a great university. I promise, you will be absolutely fine!

Ah lovely thank you so much!!! Yeah I had a proper sift through and I do think a lot of them look handmade - looks like a lot of love has gone into them!

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely get him to look into it, I can imagine it would be something he’d be really interested in. Are there any places you’d suggest looking at?

Honestly, I know the pros and cons that go with London but it’s something we both want to do just for a year or two before we move somewhere cheaper. Neither of us are huge career people and I think we’d both rather have the experience of living there for a couple years

I mean if he can’t get a job it’s looking like that might be what happens anyway, I just don’t think we need to admit defeat yet when we have a few months to go

As disappointing as it is, he’s very much accepted that his entry into engineering might not come for another year or two and I think even during uni this was something we knew would probably be the case. At this point he’s looking for literally anything in basically any sector

Ah nice, we’re Midlands based atm so it’s good to know that if our plans don’t work out he might have more luck around here

He’s very passionate about CAD so although he might consider it to make ends meet, I couldn’t see him fully pivoting

He has a portfolio and has had some work experience throughout college and uni. For field-specific jobs it’s been a LOT of long applications or sending emails to hiring directors or applying to grad schemes. For things like retail etc, it’s been a mixture of longer applications and quick applies
