    There are only 12 of us on the course fingers crossed we all get to finish it I'll let you know how it goes in 3 years time
    Like everyone else, best of luck from me.

    It would be good to keep this thread going as some sort of diary with periodic posts and photos of what you are up to at Uni.

    Congratulations!!!

    Out of interest, how many hours a week contact time is there? Is it the kind of degree where you need to attend most days?

    When I was there, Wednesday was the time you had to yourself but were expected to be in.
    It was pretty much mon-fri 8-5.
    Actual contact time with tutors was very poor.

    Might have changed in the 5 years or so since I was there.

    Yeah thats right its still the same but the tutors are around more I'd say
    The guys and girls in the basement all seem great :)
