Guest Stefkov Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 My mum's useless at filling in forms. She's left it for me to find out what to put in. Pisses me off, a lot, just because of the situation here they can't even fill in forms decently and civilly. Applied for accomodation a while back, hopefully that's got there alright.
Babooo Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 If you beat you required grades, many uni's will give you small bursaries as rewards. Which is nice. that IS nice. but I doubt i'll beat my required grades.
nightwolf Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 A few do but the results you need for it is ridiculous. A friend in colege is applying for it (he also gets a freebie laptop i think because he has a 'mild' and i say mild form of dyslexia) whilst the average is about MMM to get into uni (C/B grade i think?) he needs DDM at least...literally about 100 points out of like 120.
DomJcg Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Urgh I'm starting to doubt i'll get in, i don't know why my first choice accepted me in the first place now, theres like, no way i can get 300 points >.>
Ashley Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 As its got overlooked (damn you Nightwolf! :P) I'll repost this (or it could be a case graduates don't look in here); Yo yo yo peeps. How do you get a 2:1? I was chatting to my friend last night and he said despite the fact he's written in his dissertation (ie not bothered) he'll get a 2:1 because he has x amount of B's. Three from 2nd year and some amount from third year. What are the exact figures? So far I have two B's from last semester. This semester's results still aren't in. But exactly (or near enough as I know its kinda rough) what levels of B's and C's do you need for a 2:1? Thanks

But exactly (or near enough as I know its kinda rough) what levels of B's and C's do you need for a 2:1? Thanks We didn't get A's B's etc at uni but to get a 2:1 we had to get an average mark of 60% or higher over the 2nd and 3rd year. i think the grade barriers where: 3rd: 35% 2:2: 45% 2:1 : 60% 1st : 80% although if your uni works on B's and C's then its probably not much help
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I concur, grades are for kiddies when you get into the world of universities. I'm still waiting on the results of my course, looks like I'll find out on the day I graduate... or not.

Ashley Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Well they do credits as well... well marks out of credits...which is odd. Who knows. Bah! I'll ask my friend again later. Thanks peeps
Mr_Odwin Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Does your course have a coursebook with like module choices and stuff in it, and administrative info? It may explain it in there if it exists. In Newcastle it was 40-49: 3 50-59: 2:2 60-69: 2:1 70-85: 1 Marks were scaled so that no one got above an 85 so that averages wouldn't be skewed too much by a 100% here or there.
Guest Stefkov Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 300?! I think he means points for Ucas. That's only 3 Bs if I'm right, in the upper 6th year. Then adding on the lower 6th results aswell. I say only... I only need 260 points, which is 3 Cs. If I add on the other 2 subjects from last year I get 10 points over that.

Twozzok Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 I think i need 280 points, which ain't gonna happen, I just hope the Kent intake people are nice people
Dyson Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I need 260 but I honestly don't think I'm going to get it. I'm kinda stressing about it now. Also I need to send off my student finance forms, fuck.
nightwolf Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Do you lot take exams? I really do feel sorry for you all because you can't go back and change the exam. Btec has it so much easier, we do one suject and many units, each unit has many assignments and there's two assignments that have double points (which instantly makes 24 points if we get high grades in both) and we only need 40ish to pass and it makes 3 a levels as soon as we pass :S
Ninty 182 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I need 260 but I honestly don't think I'm going to get it. I'm kinda stressing about it now. I'm with you there. I need AAB

Managed to find something on the uni's website. Turns out its 6 Bs and 2 Cs from 2nd and 3rd years (or 90 and 30 credits) for a 2:1 (or 6 As and 2 Bs for a 1st and I have the two Bs at least...) Ah well, got my answer. Will wait til end of month (presumably) for my results from my next batch of modules and see where I'm heading.

See I was the same, I wanted to do just computing and art, but you have to pick four so I chose computing. simple really . It's a nice progression to game design anyway, both art and computing can lead to game design as alot of both applied for the course i want to be on in september ^_^ handy.
Babooo Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I gotta get 320 points. I think I'll fall just under that....here's hoping they'll take me anyway.

Don't most companies dislike Game Design courses/are reluctant to hire those who have been on them?
The Bard Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Fuck yeah! I've got the accommodation I want at QMUL (on suite) and my total fees, including everything are about 4500 quid, which about half what everyone else has to pay. I ma gonna be living the good life
jayseven Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Domo-kun; Sussex uni? I half half-a-dozen mates there, not surprising considering I come from brighton. I am considering doing my masters there to stay close to home (if that's what I decide is best), but by then you'll be gone. If you're still in the brighton area over summer let me know and we can go for a drink Bard: £4.5k :¬¬{!">£!">!>!<<"!£<"£!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf, that's hella expensive... But hey if you're getting the scummy end of the bucket then... well I guess that's fine...
