I had a little look on the University of Westminster's website earlier. They do many types of journalism related courses. My local universities (Worcester & Wolverhampton) only did a couple of courses. I don't go to university for another three years yet anyway.

Once your 15 then no doubt your school will be questioning everyone and asking what they want to do when they leave school/university etc.

Northumbria for my DipSW

Sunderland for CertEd

I have studied at most of the NE HE & FE institutes over the years to gather a whole host of useless qualifications from D32/D33 to Level 4 advice & guidance. I love education, I am always looking for new courses to do.

See I'd like to come to a US University, but I only know of a few, and there the really 'higher up' ones, where you need to be really smart. And plus, I don't think they'd understand our grading system, only your GPA/SAT grades..

See, we only know of Oxford and Cambridge lol. There are tons, but the ivy league schools usually get the most publicity (much like Oxford and Cambridge).

I have no clue how the grading system over there works, then. GPA/SAT is much easier to understand for me. :P

How many points do you usually get for your GCSE'S if you get between A*-C.

^^ you don't get UCAS points from your GCSE'S towards Uni as far as I know. It's all from your a-levels.

Ah ok, I had the impression that a few points came from GCSE's and the rest from A-Levels.

True, the second we went into year 10, the collage and university assemblies started. We even had a assembly with Uni people coming in and telling us why we should go to uni, was cringeworthy, them trying to talk in funny voices.
