Congratulations to everyone on your results. Don't worry if you didn't get the results that you wanted, you can always repeat courses now and there are loads more opportunities than there used to be.
I have just finished a degree at UCLAN (no results until October). I have never done an A-level in my life. I got 8 O-levels but had basically had enough of full time education when I left school, so I never went to college. I dossed for 2 years getting experience in different jobs then went to nursing school. I have done my degree part time whilst working full time. I have to admit that it was hard work trying to attend lectures, get assignments in on time and commuting to and from UCLAN in my time off, but it is manageable.
There is more than one way to achieve your goals, for those of you who cannot get on the course you want this year, take a year out, get a job and get some money behind you (uni is a dear do). For those who didn't get the results you need, repeat your course....at least you have that option these days. Well done everyone..
