The entry quallifications for IT are (in highers) BBBB for one course and ABBB for the other. BBBB is the same as for physics and astophysics but I wouldn't describe them as being joke courses. No subjects (especially the sciences) are that difficult to get into but maneuverability is definitley one...
No one knows what love really is until they experience it. Some don't even believe in it until then or, or they just don't believe that it will live up to expectations.

It isn't difficult to predict that you will have to partially finance your child through university. Maybe if they had save...

No we don't because as has been pointed out elsewhere the rises in rent are many times the rate of inflation and therefore look i...
Hardship "loans", exactly. For goodness sake what will *more* debt achieve?! And I do know people who are suffering stress and depression because of their accommodation worries. Now they're supposed to give up on their social lives and sit in their room every night? That'll do wonders for their stat...
My few thoughts for what they're worth: Posh does not equal being a yah. There are far more people at this University who have what is considered to be a "posh" accent and have more money than most than there are yahs. "Yah" is not a word used to describe those of a higher class, it is used to descr...
If your doing a science subject especially, past papers are the way to go cos they really don't change their papers that much (due to their not being that many different kinds of questions they can ask). Have a look at the last 4 years of papers and if you can do them you're sorted.
I was merely pointing out that in some situations the salary of your parent(s) is no indication of how much money you are getting. In these cases there is no money to help bail you out. None at all. In this case I am even worse off because I get a smaller loan than I should had the loan assessment t...
No one is saying that "most" people cannot afford hall accommodation but there are a significant number that can't. The point is that although this university has always been seen as being posh it was always open to those who couldn't afford to live in the likes of Edinburgh. Now we are being priced...
Except that wage bracket is not "relatively wealthy". Not in this day and age. Teachers fall into that wage bracket and are hardly described as being wealthy. The fact is there are many reasons why income does not equal wealth. It is far more complicated than that. While the SAAS take into account t...
