This post is an attempt to feed
you broccoli (although not so literally), It’s something you might not like,
but it may be good for you!
Many of the people applying
through Clearing won’t have enough qualifications to get onto a degree
programme, or maybe not degree programmes remotely related to your chosen field
of study.
So many of us will be in that
dreaded situation where you have one or more verbal/email offers for an
“Extended degree” or a “Foundation degree” or a “HND/HNC” at a “partner
college”, and a lot of us don’t consider it because it’s not a degree, or its
not at the main campus.
What we forget is that all of
these mean you will end up with a degree, perhaps in the same 3 years that all
your friends will, and perhaps in the same subject you initially applied for!
And even if it’s a different degree, it might lead to the same career, or a
similar field.
This is something a lot of us
just dismiss because it’s not what we first wanted, it might be because of a
narrow-minded focus rather than a career focus. There is genuinely no
difference between a degree that was done in a standard 3 years from one that was
topped up from a 2 year foundation or HND, or one that had a year zero, from an
employer’s perspective they are the same.
These alternative courses are
usually more vocational, so if you are more in line with this kind of study it
might even be a better option.
So in the case that you are given
an alternative offer, do give it serious thought, you are welcome to contact us
and ask us about the process and we would all be happy to help.
If you are in this situation, I
hope you make the right decision.
Thanks for reading
