[Closed] Did you go to University?

Manchester Poly/ Met Uni, went just as the change happened. Did Environmental Science. It was OK, didn't quite get the grades I wanted but have done OK out of it eve if has taken a long time to get where I am now. In hindsight I'd have gone somewhere different as I didn't have that an exciting time. Since done MSc and other post grad stuff, I wish I'd have done the MSc straightaway but I got a job and experience before doing one. Doing OK with QUANGO in public health hoping to survive the cuts.

Go to a good university and more important do a vourse you enjoy and make sure it has work experience or get summer experience in the field you work in.

I went to bath, studied civil engineering. A long hard course, I had difficulties in my final year and only ended up with a 2:2

I still had 3 job offers out of the 6 I applied for. good uni, good experience, I had a year out, and a good set of extra cuticular activities.

Trent Poly - Mech Eng - Late Eighties

Lovely

Yes but wish I went later in life now.

Went from a high 2:1 to a low 3 by the end of it. Really off the rails and ended up fleeing the country to sort myself out.

Good experience, but could have been so much more productive

1990-93 at what is now University of Gloucestershire, BSc Geography. Bloody loved it so much went back in 1995 to do a Masters and lived there after for a while. 20 years later stil got 15 or so close friends from Uni, some of which settled in Cheltenham permamently and i'm down every two weeks watching Gloucester at Kingsholm. A move back may be on the cards soon.

dundee uni - 04-08

2:2 mech eng

turned down a phd developing my honours project into a much more complex model

entered my first graduate job last year after a year cycling round nz.

currently in africa. its opened my eyes thats for sure - always said i wouldnt do this - but **** it you only live once , cant see everything from my bike (unless i win the lottery)

I've just gone back to uni for the 2nd time having taken a gap year. Went to northumbria originally, now at the royal college of art/imperial college doing a double masters

Lancaster University - Social work - left though as erm I discovered Madchester in the summer and it seemed more appealing than Uni. I indulged too much so had to escape the drug culture so I moved to .....Holland 😯 I may not have thought that one through too well 🙄
UCNW - Bangor Uni 94-97 Psychology hills mountains what was ther enot to love?
Teaching post grad qual at a institute now a uni but it was rubbish

I went to Northumbria.....at least sometimes/

Aberystwyth 1981-85, Computer Science. Had a great time and came away with a degree that opened doors and got well paid job as a result. Now paying for my kids to go through Uni - I was on a full grant!

Another engineer here, Automotive Engineering at Loughborough. Graduated in 97 I think. Was lots of Jocks then too!
Did an MBA too at Imperial which is an amazing institution, especially if you get to do things with the RCA.

skiprat - Member
Yes i went to Sunderland Uni from 94-97. ..........but also worked hard, our course had the 2nd longest hours of the whole uni, only civil engineering was longer. ..........

Sunderland Civil Engineer here.

Although it was a Polytechnic when I went. 86-90

Materials Science and Engineering at Manchester - 1997 to 2001. A top city to live in, good university and on the whole good fun too. I'd certainly recommend going if you have the chance - even if you don't end up using your degree directly it is an excellent experience. My third year was an industrial placement which was brilliant and I think was a big help in getting my first job.
My only regret would be not making more of the sports facilities and ending up being a fat knacker at the end of the four years from drinking too much and doing no exercise!

Portsmouth, engineering systems BEng Hons 2.1

had to repeat my second year but otherwise I enjoyed it.

Ba history and politics got a 2:2 for the usual reasons
Ma human rights, ethics and international relations both at Kent at Canterbury

Had a great time made great friend many if whom Im still in contact with.

Was at uni in the early 2000s and even then it was pretty bad value for money, Ma was challenging but I could have done my Ba (to a better standard) in 1 year - 4 hours a week - 1 3000 word essay every 6 weeks?

I went, and it was a massive education in every way: socially, mentally, and academically. Bangor from 2001-4 for my Bronze Swimming certificate, stayed at Bangor for my Permanent head Damage, and then was postdoc there in the same group, but moved to the lovely new 'Environment' centre (with solar panels over the glass roof so you have to turn the lights on...)

On the whole, whilst small, Bangor was a great place to be a student, and to work. With the A55 and Holyhead train line it's not too isolated, yet has some mazing scenery.

I then did a few months as a postdoc at Lancaster (nice city, shitty 60s dump of a campus) before being extremely jammy and getting a research scientist post at CSIRO in Oz.

Money-wise I think my student loan and overdraft came to about 15k. (Un)fortunately due to the warped idea that the cost of living is cheap in Australia, it looks like I'll pay my loan off in 3 years now. I thought the £140/m was bad enough in the UK, but £360/m takes the biscuit when they do their calculation bout wages from abroad. Pity, I'd rather save for house and pay it back slowly, but at least I'm stuffing UKPLC by paying my taxes to another government, so that's something to be cheerful about....

No, just a plain old HNC in electrical engineering and Bedford College on day release during my apprenticeship but it does me ok.

Southampton here 🙂

Started at Glasgow Uni with my BSc Archaology, then Liverpool Uni for an MSc in IT... and then that hippy quarry in Wales mentioned earlier for my second MSc in Architecture: Advanced Environmental and Energy Studies.

aP - if you want to chat to someone about Machynlleth it drop me a mail: info@pumptrack.co.uk since you are thinking of going 😉 Won't be near email until Sunday night again though!

Victoria University of Wellington - BA in Classical Studies. Loved it, Art History lectures that started at 5pm what's not to like ? Was my home town so have to admit didn't mix much with other students, all my friends went into work or tech after 7th form so hung out with them seeing bands mostly at the weekends.

Then Masters in Info Management at Brighton University (a teaching polytech really) by distance.

I use the second degree in my job all the time, the first one is useful for the odd pub quiz. Nothing like a good classical education I reckon.

"Slacked off, so only got a 2.1."

Just spotted this...

Out of 40 students on the course, Only 3 1st class degrees were awarded which is typical. Bu they were awarded to 3 of the 4 foreign students who paid loads in fees and were helped along by the rest of us (except in Mathematics where they were outstanding).

I "went to university" but never really got round to going to university

drink and women were awesome though

Another BEng in Mech Eng here at Liverpool 99-02 plus a MSc in Lasers straight after.

I'd absolutely recommend Liverpool for university. Brilliant city with good night life.

If I had my time again I would apply myself a bit more at uni, perhaps with a year in industry and I'd focus my efforts on subjects I enjoyed and was good at.

I don't feel I use any of my degree in my job and feel like I could be doing so much more but hey ho. Still time to discover my niche.

I did mech eng with aero at Brunel Uni from '96 to 2000.
I also did a foundation of engineering course as my a-level maths wasn't good enough to get straight on the course.

I did a thin-sandwich course which meant 2x 6 months work placements, which were definitely worth it.

Since leaving uni I hardly use my degree in my day to day work & wonder if I chose the right course. I did what I enjoyed, but have realised since choosing a particular path, that engineering isn't quite the career I thought it would be.
I found my degree lacked the practical aspects of engineering that would have been more useful than things like theoretical three-dimensional fluid dynamics taught by professors who clearly didn't want to be there.
When I went for the open day they show you engine test bays, gas turbine demo's, wind tunnel stuff but when you actually get there you actually use very little of it unless you stay on to do a phd or need it for part of your final year project.

The social side of uni life was great as was being independent, but you can get that without going to uni.
Biggest regret was choosing a uni/degree with such a low women/men ratio!!

Economics at Durham (van Mildert) had a great time, met a great girl and managed to sack off the first two years and have a panic induced working hard third year and come out with a 2:1 and straight into a good job. (tip when you apply for jobs early in third year employers look at your first and second year results so its not a very good srategy to do bugger all work. i lucked it out but it was close!)

Strathclyde uni, Immunology and Microbiology BSc. (Hons)
Glasgow uni, Biological sciences (BSc)
Glasgow Caledonian uni, PhD in Sensor technology/photonics
Uni of the west of Scotland...job playing with sensors
Im scared to enter the real world!

Huddersfield University, B(Sc)Hons in Geography 2:1
12 years later and I'm using it with the Environment Agency. 🙂
And Still living here!

Rob where did you go out when you were there?

The Church (milk?) was my stomping ground and I was always in the Zetland (now named soemthing else).

I was in Exeter OTC from '93 - '97. "Studying" business studies (BA) at Plymuff Uni allowed me to do this.

Pros - Plymouth was a great place to go to Uni, socially and geographically. OTC was ace fun and we got paid ( a lot ) for mostly messing about and getting drunk.

Cons - Course was pretty pants and I don't think I really learned anything from it to be honest.

4 awesome years though and the money from the OTC meant that I didn't come out the other end with massive debts.

*******************************************************

Gonna attempt to hijack the thread slightly...

****************************************************

I'm studying a part-time one-year "Certificate in Higher Education" (basically two A-Levels) in Maths and Physics at the moment and pretty soon have to decide if I want to go to uni at the end of it.

Not sure what to study.

Not sure uni is worth the cash.

Pretty sure there won't be an opening for another wannabe rocket scientist if I ever get that far...

Anyone got any advice they feel like dumping on me? Would be most appreciated... 🙂

*******************************************************

Also: 1999-2003, University Of Reading, BSc (Hons!?) Horticulture, 2:1. Have made precisely sweet effay use of it since then, but uni was a doss at the time. I wish I'd used my freetime more productively (as others have said) to pursue [i]useful[/i] extracurricular stuff, rather than just coming out of it owing the SLC £16,000 with basically no chance of ever paying it off...

Would I recommend it? No idea! Hence the advice-begging above!

I went to Northumbria just after it was changed from Newcastle Poly. I studied Business and it was a very enjoyable place to be and not too far from home for weekend visits.

I became a chartered accountant working in industry so I would have got on faster in the world if I had not gone to University as it is all about the professional qualification.

I paid no fees and the taxpayers gave me £2400 a year for my troubles (self employed father), holiday jobs meant I had zero debt. I would have to think very hard about paying the current norm.

Yeah I have a degree in furniture design and a HND in making. Hmm in hindsight a would have done a apprenticeship or the like and feel I would be better off financially and possibly have a bigger skill set. Although I met a lot of friends and can now span the globe knowing I'll know at least one person in every continent, plus the degree has been useful.

Other than the above advice, the one thing I think British people often don't think about is studying abroad. There are some brilliant uni's in Holland for example.

I studied Visualisation at Teeside from '98-'01, I realised about half way through repeating my second year that it really wasn't what I wanted to be doing, so ended up spending all my time in the pub or on the bike - the North yorks Moors were ten minutes away.

I now work in an engineering role and make no use whatsoever of anything I did study.

If I had my time over knowing what I know now, I would still go to uni, but would make damn sure that I was going for the right course for me.

Went to Keele ’92-96. Best time of my life played rugby lots and found out I preferred it to football. Met a girl there and then another and so on. And found out that if you drink too much you could fall over and break something. Got a 2:1 in something no where related to what I do now.

Then did masters down in Sussex after a year off paying of a minor overdraft. As I lived in Brighton I ran up a debt of 10k but did an It subject so paid it off in my first job as they got taken over by a much larger company. Real piece of luck.

I really feel sorry for people trying to go now. Its seems it’s so business orientated both in terms of getting the best degree for your pound and funding the right career afterwards. When I went we just grew up in a big play-school.

Now as I sit in my grown up job on a Friday afternoon I wish I was back at Uni! Grass is always greener...

Went to Uni of Hell/Hull to do Nursing 96-99. Loved the first 18 months, just a total piss up, and lots of (female)Student Nurses(!) - still with one of them 14 years later. Second 18 mon ths involved shifts etc so it meant we actually to work, hard. Kinda ruined it but otherwise had a great time. Having said that, now that i work in the Offshore Industry, and see guys who are barely literate earning £120k per year , i sometimes wish id said sod it and gone off to become a roustabout at 18..as, in fairness, my father kept recommending to me.

I'm grateful for university getting me into serious reading. I did time in Manchester University (Economics and Social Science), Manchester Poly (PGCE), Merton College, Oxford (brief teachers' fellowship). Always managed to fit in the beer and the girlfriends around the reading so generally had a splendid time. I'd recommend anyone to go but not necessarily as an apprenticeship for a job, there's more to life than work.

Sussex Uni (BSc) Biology (1991-1994). Lots of drinking.... it's where it all started to go wrong.

Hora, my first year was the last year the Black Hole was standing and when Hard Times were at the church on the ring road that became the student union. I worked in what it became (Eden - Uni nightclub) in the cloakroom for 2 years but I never went out for a night out there.
Usually went to The Ship Inn opposite the Uni, where all the metal, punk, goth, skater, bmx types went to (a sad loss as they have no home now!!) then onto Follies (which is now a "gentlemans" club 8-0 ) as they played all the metal and punk.
Used to go to Callistos (had about 20 different names and owners since) when they had indie/metal/punk nights too, which wasn't for long. Sometimes went to Bradford Rio's when they had a similar night with skate ramps in the club as well!
Don't think there's anywhere to go nowadays, even the record shop that used to stock the type of CD's I like has gone - hate shopping online for music, no fun anymore.

Graduated from Portsmouth in 91, BEng Engineering Geology, £2000 debt but did get to go to LegoLand in Denmark on a geology field trip.

Nearlly

Was all signed up to Leeds to do Chemistry / Chase a delightful girl I once knew, but I knocked it on the head the day I was meant to start and took an Apprenticeship in Instumentation instead.

I did start a BEng Electrical and Electronics when I lived in Aberdeenshire, but I moved so I didn't finish it. Easy, but boring.

BSc Physics - Imperial College
PhD Physics - Imperial College
Postdoc in Physics - Sussex University
Postdoc in Biology - Oxford University

I now work in a subject doing Maths and Medicine. Would recommend a Physics degree to anyone mathematically inclined - opens up a LOT of doors, and not all of them say accountant!

I've been at the university of exeter for about a month now, loving it. The clubs are great, the cycling is great, the other sports facilities are great, the people are great (as long as you avoid all the private schooled snobs..), and the work is for the most part pretty easy (maths).

From google:

"i regret going to university"
About 1,390 results

"i regret not going to university"
About 6,030 results

Didn't get there until i was in my thirties, Plymouth university but based in Exeter (still there) and did my nurse training.
Best parties ever. Met my girlfriend (now) wife. And got back into cycling after a few years lay off. Quality.

South Bank University [now London South Bank University] - Engineering Product Design. Graduated in 2001.
At the time it was a great course and turned me into a Design Engineer, managed to get half decent jobs too. The uni was ok, but if I could choose now, i'd go to a uni with either; more of a campus set up, or in a smaller city.
However, 9 years later I am a little tired of Design Engineering, I seek a more creative design role, so while still working full time I am studying an MA in 'Design: Sustainable Futures' at Plymouth University. So far my experience is very positive. Great new building and a lot of money recently invested in workshop facilities and a very good design teaching team. I must admit, the whole uni seems a very good place to be.

Oh yea, Plymouth = Easy access to great biking and surfing !

It seems STW (and thus MTBing?) is far more popular with engineering than arts (or media) graduates! Do you think the latter don't like getting dirty? 😉

Attended UWIC in Cardiff sporadically between 00-03

Came away with a 2:1 in Sport & Leisure Mgt, the degree is not worth the paper its written on however it has ticked the 'degree level eductation' box on a few job specs to get a foot in the door. I dont use it at all now and looking back it was a pretty poor course, trampolining apart :D. To echo a few others, choose which course you want to do wisely especially with the hike in fees.

Reading that back it all sounds a bit negative, but if you asked me would i go again, it would be a resounding YES! Beer, girls, girlfriend and some good mates. Great times.

No. Posting on here cos hels said I wouldn't and somehow seems to equate intelligence with academic achievement.
When I were a lad, it was pretty difficult to get into a University, it really was for the minority. My parents had me lined up for it, but I discovered more interesting things, like sex, music and being in a band, which meant I didn't get the required 'A' levels for Uni.

You just need to be able to use a computer to get in these days, don't you?

Yes Kingston, Beng Hons in Motorcycle engineering technology.
Agree with Dezb too some of the most talented engineers I know don't have degrees.

Graduated from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen this year after completing my Bsc (ENG) Electronic and Electrical degree part time evening classes. 2 years of working and studying was tough but glad i have the bit of paper now. Concidering going back to do am MEng in a couple of years but it is my girlfriends turn to study now as she wants her cips qualifications to become a buyer and i'm in debt about 100 cooked dinners 🙂

thisisnotaspoon,

Did you go to the Chemeng Department ball in your freshers year then?

Not in the strictest sense. Left school in '89 after a year resitting my GCSEs, then did 6 years of vocational study in Textile Colouration at Bradford College. Got made redundant in my last year and didn't complete the course sadly, so missed out on a degree level qualification. I don't regret not going to University full time, I (mis)spent a lot of time socialising with student friends whilst living in Leeds, so I got the best bits of it I reckon! 🙂

Lancaster to study Sociology, was a top place, with top people. I'm dead clever me.

Also, Sunderland, not such a top place, but was fun all the same.

Another Mech Eng here, Nottingham '94-'98. No biking back then but loads of windsurfing / beer and the odd trip to the Irish (less said about that the better...)

You just need to be able to use a computer to get in these days, don't you?

Not even that, these days you just have to be able to write your own name, its really easy. It must've been so much better back in your day 😉

I'd say really think why you're going. If it's for a good time, I'd go travelling instead. If it's for a job, see if you can get in another way, eg on-the-job-training or by starting off on the shop floor so to speak. If you do an academic subject make sure it's a really good uni. If you're going because you don't know what else to do - which is pretty much what I did at 18 - I wouldn't. Don't get me wrong I had a fantastic time but when I graduated with a history degree from the West London Institure of Higher Education I found employers were non too impressed. It was free when I went too.

That was the first time. I'm actually back at another uni - London Met - now after deciding on a career change. I've been shocked about how much things have changed. I'm obviously older now but it just doesn't seem so much fun even for the young 'uns. I think it's partly because you have to pay so there's more pressure on you.
Also, there's huge problems at many unis now, mostly to do with money, but that impacts everything - class sizes, access to facilities, morale amongst staff and students, the amount of teaching time you get (many unis now have reading week, independent study week and any number of non-teaching weeks which are basically an excuse not to pay the lecturers) and that's before you take into account the time spent on holiday. Summer holiday came round in May for me last year and I've heard of students breaking up in April and not going back till October.

I don't want to put you off but just be aware that many uni courses are a total rip-off so choose carefully and don't think you have to go at 18. If you do decide to go, choose carefully and not only will it set you up for the future but you'll have a great time too.

BSc (Int) Geography at University of Leeds (2005-2009)
MSc Hydrology at McMaster University (Ontario, Canada) (2009-present)

Leeds - Loved every second of it, nearly dropped out when I fell in with a shit crowd in my second year (lame friends, more than a bad influence) so I ended up on an exchange year (to Canada) out of desperation to 'get away' turned out to be the best thing I ever did, met friends for life doing that, who are all still a very tight group. Leeds was a cheap, fun, sporty city, even if a student did get murdered 4 doors down. Regardless, I wouldn't do it differently. The dales were a 10 minute bus ride away, and my buddy ran the downhill BUSA team.

As for the degree....varying degrees of usefulness, hence persuing a masters at expense of the Canadian government with guaranteed job prospects out here.

Left Leeds with about 23K debt..largely due to being 'poor' before I went to uni, and the LEA throwing loan money at me. Since paid 2/3 of that off. I was the very last year on the 'pre-tuition fee' system. I'd do it again yes, but with the new proposed fee infrastructure :/ not so sure, probably not.

As a sidenote, if anyone wants details on immigrating to Canada/studying in Canada as either an undergrad or post-grad, let me know.

Oxford, First in History - the only arts student I've seen here. It is true that I hate getting dirty!

If you do go, don't assume it's your dream ticket. There is no guarantee of getting a good job at the end of it, even if you get the best degree imaginable - this downturn - together with the property boom which preceded it - is really crushing recent graduates financially. Nobody is paying any attention to this. You have to go, and work your ass off, and not party that hard (or at all), to come out of it alright. The "bloody lazy students" stereotype is only perpetuated by people who went in the '80s and before - it's different now.

100 hours Community Service, Tower Hamlets. Most years since 1990.

[i]the only arts student I've seen here[/i]

*Waves.

The "bloody lazy students" stereotype is only perpetuated by people who went in the '80s and before - it's different now.

I got up at 1:30 today. Came on STW, ate some haribo, disagreed with your statement. Might go get a haircut later on. Might not.

yes, Bradford, 1982-85, doing BSc in Physical Electronics. Year 1 was spent getting everybody up to the same standard, by the end of which I'd discovered the university's Technical Services Association (light, sound & stage crew for touring bands).

Lost interest in the course, muddled through the end of year exams and saw a lot of great bands for free, in exchange for a bit of hard labour and a lot of sitting around.

Year 2 pretty much followed suit, saw even more great bands, discovered girls and flunked my end of year exams. Sat them again the following year and again failed, but by the september of what would have been my fourth (or retaken 3rd) year, I was working, and have been ever since.

It wasn't a great time at first as there was a very high male-female ratio - remember, Peter Sutcliffe had only just been put away, and this was his home town; one of his victims was killed in a back alley just across the road from the university main campus 🙁

but I'm certainly glad I went - wouldn't have met Mrs_drummer if I hadn't - as I had a great time from year two on. Stayed in that part of town until 1990 and made a lot of good friends, most of whom I've sadly lost touch with as I was a lazy sod when we moved

Harry_the_Spider - Member
B.Eng Mechanical Engineering at Huddersfield Poly 1988 - 1992
Didn't work very hard. Played for the Rugby League team. Pissed 3 or 4 times a week. Shared a house with a famous mountainbike designer from Todmorden. Ate a lot of samosas. Learned how to cook fluffy rice.
But I did it when there were no fees and grants. I wouldn't be happy paying £20k+ for my lad to do the same.

What a small world. I did the Same course at the same time. Went on to do an MBA and use neither in my current job. 🙄

mrgibbons,

yes please about studying an msc in canada, email in profile

No, discovered pot and blew my A levels. Had LOADS of fun visiting contemporary friends at Uni though.

Spent three years dossing and skateboarding and learned to become a blacksmith, went self employed and my business was wiped out by the nineties tory crash'n'burn depression.

Left smithying and worked in IT (one end of the industrial revolution to the other) I have nearly enough credits through career development to get a doctorate though. I'm an autodidact.

Now working as a [i]ciclista[/i]. I teach cycling and cycle mechanicking and get paid to ride my bike.

If I could do it again, I'd do it the same.

I knew most of the people on the forum were a bit thick, but I didn't realise that I was the only one to graduate from a decent university.

Stoner MA (Cantab) MSc.

waves from the royal college of art 😉

You're not the only one Stoner--though possibly the only one to use your vanity MA 😉

BA in history from Cambridge (1997)
PhD in history from Essex (2000)
Post-doc in Oxford (2000-2003)
Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at Liverpool (2003-8)
Lecturer in Oxford (2008-)

I guess I never quite got round to leaving.

Music at Salford, 94 to 98, partied and came out with a 2:1 as well, was very close to a first...

If anyone was to ask me I would also say pick something that you are really sure that you're good at, but don't bother with american studies or knitting or any balls like that

emailed you ian 🙂

the only arts student I've seen here

I knew most of the people on the forum [b]were[/b] a bit thick

They've been enlightened and educated since I've been on here. 🙂

I'd like to be a Uniservity Lecherer....

Yes, Bachelor of Applied Science (Winemaking)
Distance Education, Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga,
2004 until this friday, hopefully, fingers crossed.
The best part was annoying the nursing students because drinking was actually studying.

Crikey you guys have brains!

😯

Not just beauty.

no.

well, more not yet - I haven't written it off, though mortgage, kids etc make it seem perhaps less likely at the moment than a shorter termed, more vocational course in... something.

I need to work out roughly what I want to do when I grow up - that my help me settle on a course to follow!!

graduated in 1997 with a BSC in Quantity surveying and project management.. and used it exclusively for 13 years. now I own my mtb business in Italy.

I made some great friends and had an excellent time... They were the best years of my life, even when biking all year here in Italy i realy miss those days....then again you do when you get older!!!

I really didn't work hard enough at school (I went through an idiot phase) and came out with an embarrassing lack of decent exam results. Managed to scrape into Sheffiled City Polytechnic (as it was then) ith a bit of pleading and did a diploma in Material Studies, then used that to get onto the Metallurgy degree, and with a bit of effort got a 2:1. That was all between 1985 and 1990. Really enjoyed it, echo much of the above comments about growing up, very much formative years for me. Biggest regret was that I wasn't into biking then - for goodness' sakes, the Peak District was yards away!!!

mrgibbons - grateful if you could send your info about Canada. A regular dream. Struggling with how the word "guaranteed" can sit next to the word "job", though???

Another lecturer in the arts (and humanities) here. I'm at Bangor Uni in the School of Creative and Media Studies. Before arriving in North Wales I was at Bournemouth and University of the Arts (LCC, the new LCP).

Tis true about getting dirty. Give me rocks over mud any time!

Thanks for the replies guys, really appreciate it. 🙂
