Wigan!!! We have a pier ya know .......

I went to Nottingham Trent, totally recommend the Uni and the city, good times!

Bristol..... Not cheap though

I'm with Mr SS, come to trent

Trent was one of the other ones high on my list. Not sure if I can get the course I want there but it doesn't matter too much if I can grab a PGCE on the way out. Don't know much about Bristol, will have a look.

Thanks again people, it all helps!

I'm with Shotta and OG, Nottingham's where it's at.

But.. but.. isn't the sheriff in Nottingham an evil guy?

I know someone who was the once the Sheriff. He used to come in and play dominoes with the other old boys down my local, make half a guinness last him all afternoon, tight git.

Whoa Reid if ur after PGCE is that not at Trinity and All Saints college Leeds. Only problem there is transport its about 1/4 hour away from the city.

There's a 3 year course you come out the end with a BA and Qualified Teacher Status. After 3rd year you do a year being paid a low rate but teaching classes. Leeds Trinity has that (I think) but if I don't want to go there for whatever reason, a 3 year BA and then a PGCE on top will get me the same net effect, just less time teaching (and getting paid) on that 4th year.


Btw - when you guys talk about Leeds Uni, do you mean the metropolitan or trinity all saints? Sounds like there's a big difference in quality between the two.



edit: Hope I understood your post right. Been at the special brew a bit.

Fuckin special brew your not sat on a park bench supping it are ya?

Okay Reid.

There is

1. The Univeristy of Leeds.
2. The Metropolitan
3. Trinity and all saints which is sort of linked to one of the above. But it has its own campus just a little ride out of Leeds. Most of its students still live and are part of the student areas. Its just the little journey out of town that needs to be considered. Am not sure what public transports like up there. But u will probably bring the car with u i guess ?

BTW - There is an open day at the met this weekend.

Ahh, that sorts a lot of stuff out. Was a bit confused about how Leeds and Leeds Met were the only mentioned ones on websites but Trinity wasn't mentioned anywhere else so just presumed it was joined with Leeds Uni. Turns out it'll be it's own university from next year, not really sure what to make of that. This uni stuff is way too hard.


Also, special brew at home is the only way to roll.

Gwaan Reid, a man after my own heart. Can't beat a couple 'o can's of "Tramp-agne" to get your swerve on!

Are you talking about going the GTP route when you've got your degree? (On the job in school for a year to get your QTS) Isn't a B.Ed three years in most places now? I did a degree in Manchester (great) (was there 1993 to 199 and PGCE years later in Plymouth (terrible).
Degree was a piece of piss compared to the PGCE, mind you you've got plenty of school experience so you're going into it with your eyes open. Are you going for primary or secondary fella?

edit - what's with the sunglasses smilie shizzle? I'm not doing it?!
