University Choices

[Abbie]

Oh right thanks, cos that was my biggest worry, trying to get a B in biology, I mean I'll try and aim for it but whether I get it, is another thing

I'm thinking of applying this year and ive been on the UCAS website but it's all really confusing can anyone help me?

I dont understand the points thing and the requirements for certain places, i don't know the best course to go for (i want to do web design but there are so many different ones) not sure where to apply for, not sure if i want to move away from home either

[Abbie]

what exactly do you need help with Vicky?

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Main thing is deciding to move away from home or not i guess, i dunno what is best as i don't know anyone who went to uni so i can ask them.

I also dont know which is best to apply for depending on requirements (dont really understand the requirements based on school/college grades i already have)

And i looked on UCAS website and i typed in web design as a course but different uni's offer different types of courses like some just say web design, others says graphics and web design and others say media studies with web design (and there are loads more different ones)

[Abbie]

Ok well the best thing to do is to go on the Uni websites and actually look at the course in more detail, like topics they cover and see which is more interesting to you and which will suit you more

the choice about moving away will come when look at Uni's really

I found it easier to go on the Uni's website and looked at what grades they want and on the UCAS website there is a tarrif table sometime to work out what grades = what points

here is the link to the tables:

Anything else you need help with?

Dont think so for the moment but there might be in the future, i dont think them tables can help me till i find my exact grades from college, i know i got merit but it puts it in a 3 grade format eg MMD or what ever, and i dont know what i got when it is shown like that
