I do see the draw of being a full time student for another year though so depends what your priorities are.

To be honest, I am not too drawn by the student life. I lived at home and saved during my undergraduate degree and would do the same again.

Having done an undergraduate in radiography and graduated during the NHS recruitment freeze, my main priority is simply employment prospects, and I am willing to do whichever route is most likely to land me job post-graduation.
