Bigman Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Well, it is the time now where every one has finnished there A-levels, and awating the results, on the 18th of august. So..... I thought it was about time we found out where most people will be heading, and for what course they are going to do. So i will start... I am heading to Harper Adams (small rural UNI(2000 students)), up in shropshire, and the course i have applied for is Offroad Vehicle Design. So, every one, where are u going, and what to do. Adam PS: i know most places are conditional on the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 i'm going to Perpignan in the south of France for semester one, and Oviedo in the north of Spain for the second. (its my third year doing French and Spanish, so i get to study abroad) perpignan has year round sun, is in a rain shadow (too close to the mountains so hardly gets any rain) and in the foothills fo the Pyrenees (ROCKS!).

Smo™ Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I haven't foggiest idea. I don't know what subject I want to do or where I want to go. Maybe something to do with Geology if Southampton have a department for it. Dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure about that at the moment. Will definitely give you a shout if (when?) I get in. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMonkey Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Where did you do it? Im really interested in it have you got msn? ← Don't do A level Maths, it's shit.

quick_spider Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Don't do A level Maths, it's shit. And completely inappropriate unless you do the Mechanics part of the syllabus. ← Bollocks to that. You use the pure and stats parts of A-Level Maths as well as the mechanics for pretty much any science based degree. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) Thats what I intend to do sir. ← I was told we were doing it, but then they said we weren't, then I asked to quit and they said no. So I stopped going to my lessons. There's some real shit in the pure and stats I did, I asked if it had anything to do with Engineering and I was told it wasn't I can only go off what I know.

To do any science in a decent uni you need maths, I'm glad I did maths, although it was hard at least I'll have a real A level. Dunno what uni I'm going to, wait 'till results come out :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OD404 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I'm at Loughborough Uni, doing a maters in Mechanical Engineering, so I've still got one year left. If you want to do engineering, you'll have to do maths, whether it's shit or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Don't do it! Its SO dull! Phil Williams will tell you the same :lol: I quit mine after half a year and moved onto something better :) ← It's not THAT dull Adam! I finished mine and went on to do an MSc in Laser Engineering (because it was funded/sponsored) and now I'm working as a software developer. Half the time these days it seems that if you have a degree you get a graduate job, regardless of the degree subject. Phil does more practical engineering, which means he probably learns more stuff that is actually useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard good things from people doing other courses. Also what does the course involve i.e like course work and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
