Notas del editor

  1. A Levels at De Lisle Science Cathoic College (NO MEDIA!) Do something I enjoy and get a career out of it. Close to home + AMAZING Facilities What I wanted to do when I graduated Travel/Media Company or set up my own.
  2. I enjoy tv and the media. Social networking, films. = Media Production BSc (the best) Facilities really attracted me and because of the high graduation stats and employability after. Aslo the BBC contacts. I looked at local universities, UCAS and their courses, looked at their student union and had open days.
  3. Why come to uni? Met so many new friends, and got involved with so much as well as learning essential skils: cooking, cleaning, washing, budgeting, time planning, organising. First 2 years I wasn’t involved in many societies, now I am. I have volunteered others haven't. One reason I lived at home was for that reason.
  4. Electronic labs downstairs in queens Electronic and mechanical engineering labs! Engineering. Electrical and Mechanical engineering, mechatronics
  5. 8 floors 80 computers. 20pcs and 60 macs Big enough for group work Each floor plus lecture theatres!
