Hi guys i come to you for help and advise.
Ok, firstly I am in year 13 and have 8 wks left of school.
I havent applied for university as I was going to work.
Now, I feel differently due to bizarre and sudden changes in my life and so now I am looking at courses.
I have a dilemna. I can wait find a course and go next septembre or I can go this septembre if I hurry up and fill in UCAS in that new speed application.
I have looked at a journalism course at Middlesex. - But this is confusingly paired with Harlow college and to take a degree I would have to travel two and fro with zero money as a student therefore this isnt a great course for me.
But then low and behold - Kingston. Kingston is not too far from home - or where my partner will be studying. It offers a great arrangement of courses which are the following:
Creative writing joint with journalism:
Creative writing joint with drama:
English Lit joint with drama:
English Lit joint with creative writing:
So, I am scared. I have spokent o some people who have said that creative writing is great, others that as a degree it isnt a core subject at all it is a section - whether this would be recognisable to employers or journalists is what I need to know!
Also, I have heard that to be a Journalist alot do not want to see a degree in there area but something else (so you go in the field with an expertise)
I know for a fact that they are interested in me and there are spaces for me in the creative writing course.
I am confused, accomodation pointers? UNi courses? Student life? Is it worth it?
Employement opportunities for writers/ journalists and work in media?
Please O please help a girl trying to plan her life.

The University wouldn't offer it if it wasn't recognisable by employees.
It might not be quite regarded as highly as a degree, but it should be your pass ticket to all things written.
Besides, what you'd get out of creative writing (if the course was any good) would be worth much more than a qualification.
Not that I'd really know anything about qualifications or anything...
I got so sick of people telling me to get qualified for a "good" job that I packed it all in after my A levels and went to work for MacDonalds! :-D

I can't help you with the course, except to say that you'll have a much easier 3 years if you're studying something you have an interest in.
Could you finance a year out, travelling or something?
This might be a good idea for you - it'd save you having to rush into a decision so that you could go this year, and I'm sure you'd have a great time.
You could go backpacking and be the Littlest Hobo
Every stop she makes, she finds a new friend
Ba ba ba ba just turn around and she's gone again :^D

If its what you want to do, apply for it. As someone else said, the Uni wouldnt offer the course if employers wouldnt recognise it.
Go for what ever takes your fancy. I don't quite know how this works but would it be possible to switch in your first year if you didn't like what you'd applied for?
I know someone who started and English Degree, hated it, switched to History and completed his degree.

Judging by the number of errors in my last post, it obviously wasn't me :)
Wait a year, apply to Leeds uni on the journalism/creative writing course and we'll be together... forever...
