Were you happy there and what class of degree did you get?

Hi Wendy, I had a one year secondment from work (on full pay) to do mine. I went to Scarborough (superb location) and lived in hall. It was University of Leeds, B:Ed and I got a 2:1 Loved every minute of it - one of the best years of my life. Jay

Wendy i work at Nottingham university and read the Nottingham evening post, does that count.........

Sadly l did'nt - l'm too thick lol - although l did go back to adult ed and studied Eng Lit, Eng Language and Art. Got D in art and C in Eng Language - had to stop the Eng Lit but got B in mocks:o))) What are you doing Bendy?? jude sarf wales :o)

I attend the University of Life and I got my Grandma's degree in March 1993. After upgrades in 1997, 1998, and 1999 I (hopefully) will have a further grade added in 3 weeks time! Sue xx

Wow, good luck Bendy - thats sounds very interesting and hard work. jude

I went to Newcastle Uni and did English Lit and language and I passed with a 2:1 honours, happy days catherine xx

I went to King Alfred's College (now Winchester University) at the age of 40, with 4 GCE's, 1 GCSE and two teenage daughters!! Came out at 43 with a 2:2 in Education and Religious studies (seperate modules). Not been able to use them to get a job though!! I'm also not qualified enough(?) to do what I used to do - Learning Support Assistant, as I haven't got an NVQ - despite the fact that the NVQ is just small parts of the Education degree - mad isn't it!!! maggie

Maggie - same as me with regards the NVQ - l'm not qualified now to work with adults with learning difficulties :o((

Hey Ladybird, my Daughter works for the MMU (she also used to be a student there)...she's just moved from the Library in Alsager, to another Department as she is due to go on Maternity leave soon. You may have seen her around!? Wish I had joined her and gone as a mature student... I didn't do Uni....but I can read....do I qualify!? lol Nanna-Moo ;-))

Hello there Benders! Hope you and the Georgeous one are good! I didn't quite get the grades so was unable to get into Bournemouth to study PR... and boy am I relieved now!! xx

I would think you have seen her around Ladybird, she has only very recently changed departments, so you may have even spoken with her!!! Do you know a Carly, has a little girl, pregnant now, got married last April? That is my girl!! Sorry Bendy Wendy, is kind of Uni related!! I'm not sure I have the brain cells left now though Ladybird, or the confidence, all that studying. What will oh do....grumble I'm not spending time with him! lol Nanna-Moo ;-))

hi studied the very long drawn out way with the open university and got a 2:1 in Psychology-eventually!! I loved it though and the people you meet are great-just like on here - all ages and all walks of life. Angela x

University whats one of them then, Thicko here wouldnt stand a chance more a practical person than aceademic whereas my sister is the other way round.

I managed to do a year of History through the University of Kent and got my Certificate I started the Diploma but found it hard going and I had to ditch it I am still studying through the University, but not having to produce the essays Dee x

Everyone I know who's been to university has ended up with a job totally unrelated to their degree. I think university education is vastly over-rated - common sense is a much more useful attribute !
