Have you enquired at your uni as to what other scholarships they offer?
Try the Finance office.

Hi

Just because one place turned you down for a CDL, you can still try the two other banks e.g. Barclays and Co-op.

I applied for a place on an MA in Youth and Community Development and am still waiting to hear if I have an interview and when.
I already called them to confirm they had received my application and the woman I spoke to said I should hear really soon. *sigh*
Anybody got and tried and tested distraction tactics?

Does anyone know if a database exists showing how many applicants each uni gets for its MA courses?

Even though you have been offered the job, you might want to consider deferring your place on your MA for a year just in case you don't enjoy the job as much as you thought you would.

Happy Birthday :)

Shani, where are you doing your PhD?

Well, you won't know until you try will you?
How much do you want to do an MA?
The key is to sell yourself to the admissions tutor.

Have you tried e-mailing the admissions tutor for the course you are interested in?
I was in a similar position, I havea 2:2. and they said they would consider me.

Good advice on CDLs here from Martin Lewis.

If you take out a CDL, once you complete your course it is better to take out a regular loan to pay off the CDL because the interest rates will be better.

Hey shani

I think I am going to have to argue with them aswell as to whether I am an overseas or home student regardig fees. I have been working overseas these past two years and I spoke to UKCOSA who think I should be treated as a home student, but we will see.

Glad you got your sorted out.

Hi Guys

Just remembered after reading your messages. The Admissions Office at Teesside is fabulous!

I have just sent in my application for an MA at a uni in the North West of England.
I have called their Admissions Office twice with queries. The first time the person I spoke to was very rude and sullen and clearly didn't know the answer to my very simple question, but wouldn't admit it nor did she have the foresight to refer me to someone who could answer it. I thought this was a one off. No.
I called them again yesterday and got a man this time whose attitude and manner was practically the same.
It's a good job I had spoken to the admissions tutor for my course already, because if I were to go on the attitude of the people that work in the Admissions Office I certainly wouldn't go there!
