Haatu Posted October 13, 2013 SomaliPhilosopher;981327 wrote: Hey Alpha or Haatu, do you need two years of A-levels to begin uni? or is one years, the As levels sufficient? You need full A levels but there are other routes e.g. BTECs, access courses etc. As for your question from the other thread, the British identity is a tool I use to further my goals, nothing more. I feel little affinity to this country although I am grateful for what it has given me. After getting my degree and some experience, I plan to leave inshallah.

What r u planning to study btw It's two full years. The application process is all online and takes place through UCAS. You apply Sep-Jan the year BEFORE you want to start e.g. apply now for Sep 2014 start. I'm planning to study something health related inshallah. Exactly what depends on what offers I get.

LOOOOL.....NOT! it'll be approaching 10 years, by the time you complete your A2's, to the day i had completed sixth form college. in those A2 days, Al looked forward to uni and knew very much of the what lied ahead. a new life beckoned at University and i didnt waste time in throwing myself at its deep end LOOOL. this was where i grew, as i'm sure you'll come to grow too. in uni, everything changed, the old glad-rags and the bookworm rims were out of the window. instead came in the newer refined Al, who, as though, he'd gone through Matthew Kelly's Star's In Their Eyes changing room, metamorphed into an A-list celebrity. amazing times and i've got the pictures to prove it too.... :p LOOOOOOOOOOOL :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks the Conservatives, under it's radical education minister Michael Gove, are planning to introduce ''American style'' education system to the UK. i've hear A Levels will be scrapped and secondary school will last until 18 years of age. i'm not sure of this policy, you know. A Levels are useful for transitioning folks from being children to young adults (i felt the difference). very soon the UK will adopt other symbols of the American education system like proms, class valedictorian and pop quizzes and an examination system that continually churns out ignorant and linear-thinking zealots. cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks haatu They're not that important as long as English/Maths are grade B (and some courses grade C). You generally need 5 GCSEs at A*-C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American universities are the best in the world. On the other hand, only Oxbridge can compete with North American institutions. I actually wanted to go to Cambridge for undergrad but I didn't have that kind of money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
