I'm in Aerospace Engineering and I failed Engineering Practice 1. Will I be able to give a resit for this module? If not, can I retake the module in 2nd year? How does any of this work? Please help me out.
I only failed my online CAD examination. I expect to score well in my practical project (hole punch).
Hi, I have about two weeks to pick a University to study at. I really don't know which one to pick. My options are UWE for creative music tech, BIMM for music production and music production and sound engineering at dBs. I liked all of these when I went to visit, but I am struggling to choose. I like that UWE is quite big and might give me more of a 'typical' student experience, and also, there are so many people studying different things, so it would be interesting to make friends with people who do very different things. Although both BIMM and dBs are quite small, I like that they specialise in music, so it might mean they will let me immerse myself in the subject more. I have looked over all the course details for each school and I pretty much like them equally.
I'm quite shy as well and want somewhere I can feel comfortable but also gain confidence and break out of my shell, so I'm not sure which school would be best for that as well.
Any advice is appreciated, and if you have any extra questions, please ask if you would like to.:)
Thinking of applying here for filmmaking.
Has anyone got any experience at the university?
Or with the filmmaking course specifically?
Any info is helpful, thank you!
I’ve made the incredibly unwise decision — at the ripe old age of 21 — to go back and retake my A Levels.
For context, my GCSEs were in 2021, so they were affected by COVID and teacher-assessed grades. Because of that, I didn’t get the GCSE profile I probably could have got under normal exam conditions, which then limited the A Levels I was able to take. I ended up going down a route I wasn’t particularly happy with, but I still managed to get into university.
The problem is: I’m now close to graduating from a degree I genuinely despise, at a university I also really dislike. I’ve tried to make it work, but the whole thing feels like I got shoved onto the wrong timeline and then just kept walking because it was easier than stopping.
So now, like the Avengers, I’m trying to go back two years and fix the timeline.
My plan is to retake my A Levels properly, aim for significantly better grades, and then reapply for a course and university that actually fit what I want to do. I know this is risky. I know I’ll be older than most applicants. I know it might look strange on paper. But I also know that carrying on just because I’m already “on the path” feels worse.
I’m not trying to pretend I was perfect the first time round. I definitely could have worked harder. But I also had COVID disruption, limited options after GCSEs, and a lot of circumstances that made the route I ended up on feel more like damage control than an actual choice.
Has anyone here gone back and retaken A Levels as an adult/mature student? Did it actually help? How did universities view it? And is this a brave attempt to correct my academic trajectory, or am I simply doing educational time travel with delusions of grandeur?
Any advice, reality checks, or “I did this and survived” stories would be appreciated.
I found a good place that’s not too far away but I was worried this could be a scam? Has anyone worked with them?
I'm joining UWE soon, how long are the buses to and back from the city centre/park street area?
Is anyone joining soon? I wanted to start to get to know people before I start.
Also for students who are studying right now, how is the university?
Im going to be doing forensic Sciences and I wanted to know more about the city and the uni and the people
