Hey everyone,
The personal statement thread got me thinking. Who's planning if so: What do you want to study? Any idea of where you want to go? Are personal statements driving you mad? For me, I want to study History, don't know definitely yet, but like Durham, York and Sheffield. I don't know how low I should be looking, the above I think are AAA, AAB and AAB - is that too risky incase something goes distasterously wrong or should I be looking at BBB unis too? I decided I didn't want to apply for Cambridge as I would put myself under too much pressure. I find the personal statement really hard - especially trying to find original things! Nicki |

I want to study a course called Bioveterinary Science. It's like Vet Med without the clinical stuff I think, and it's only 3 years. I would love to study music too so I think I'll apply for it somewhere as only a handful of places do the Biovet course.
I'll be applying to Liverpool as they are one of 3 places that do the course, and probably some other places if I go for music. I want to stay close to home. Stupid personal statement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Hi Joy
Does Biovet science qualify you for a particular career? |

Not really no, you can probably go into any animal/science based career, whether it be lab research, field work, maybe conservation or something, depending on the modules you take within the course. I myself might probably take modules like any equine (horse) topics and I'm thinking about going into nutrition so would take related modules.
Only 3 unis do it that I know of - Liverpool, Bristol and Harper Adams See Liverpool's course here. |

Distance learning though.... but at least I'd get to do about 4 times a year to see my supervisor. |

Hi Emma C. I guess it'd be a bit of a commute from Cornwall to Durham each day! What will your PhD be on? |

What do you want to study? Music (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Any idea of where you want to go? Hmm, Durham most of all, closely followed by York, then Edinburgh or Glasgow, and I think my other choices will be Newcastle and Sheffield. Are personal statements driving you mad? In a word, yes! Oh, it's all so stressful...but at least I have the exams I need for all universities except Durham who want Advanced Highers as well as Highers. And there's the whole grade 8 thing too - argh... |

I'm still in the early stages, but it will be on theology and opera, how we experience and express the human and divine. |

What a boring thread. I want to hear tales of people aching to study at Skelmersdale Polytechnic, Cheam College of Higher Education and Wolverhampon University (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Do not besmirch De Montford. I have lectured there in my time (Milton Keynes campus)
