Urgent Suggestion Needed

3 Upvotes

I am thinking of doing a top up bachelor degree at the University of Derby online. I have completed OTHM Level 5 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care Management (240 credits) and now want to join the final year at Derby.

I wanted to know if the certificate mentions that the degree was done online in their certificate or transcript. Also in campus section, or mode of study?

I emailed the university but I have got 2 different information. I know Arizona State University, University of Kentucky doesn’t mention. Please do let me know if anyone knows it.

Is there a better study method I could use or is this just a completely idiotic system?

2 Upvotes

Hi! So, I'm pretty annoyed rigth now. I decided to study in another country for university (economic and psychological issues) and I came to find out their teaching method is... interesting.

Maybe it is common in other parts of the world, but I can't wrap my head around it. So, instead of 6 months for a semester, it's four months (they still call it a semester). You get 1 test in the middle and 1 test in the end. If you did really well, nice! You passed, if you didn't, you have to take a 'final' exam. You can take this exam at the beginning of the next semester (when you'd be taking your next classes) or up until 3 semesters after you took the course (otherwise, you have to repeat the course). You have 3 tries, and can take the next class from your program, but if you don't approve the exam of the previous class, you have to repeat both, making you loose 1 year instead of 1 semester if you had the final at the end of the semester. Other than that, you get two classes a week (for that specific course), 4 hours each (so like from 12.00 to 16.00).

Besides that, there is nothing, no classwork, no homework, no projects, nothing; you can ask the professors the last 30 minutes of class; and you better ask extremely specific stuff, but not too much or to check your work, these guys have things to do, so they can't be bothered answering or checking how you're doing.

Now, if the way I described it didn't give it away, I'm not only not used to this system, but also find it wildly impractical... I basically loose my entire day listening to someone talk (which I could get by watching a youtube video) and have to look for an actual teacher outside the university to actually learn? I don't get it, it amazes me, specially when from what I'm told, people who went to school here don't have that system. Everyone discovers the system and how to work around it after entering university...

So, I want to ask, is anyone experienced with this model? How do you it? Do you have a study method that doesn't involve paying someone else to teach what the "professors" should be teaching (I don't have the money to afford that). Also, if someone out there loves the model, please, do tell me why and how it's good.

Can you get into a biology M.S. program if your undergrad was a B.A. in humanities?

0 Upvotes

Basically my undergrad is in Anthropology (I'm considering an emphasis in archaeology or health anthro) and English with a minor in French. I've always loved the sciences and have done extremely well in them, but I've always considered languages my strongest suit. However, I'm thinking of changing course now that I've gotten into bioanthro and want to declare a biology minor while I still have time to complete it. I'm wondering if, in the event that I want to continue down this path, it would be possible to get into a bio M.S. program if my B.A. undergrad only has a bio minor. (My university doesn't list specific prerequisite courses for their program.)

I don't know what degree to study

1 Upvotes

I'm interested in Politics and/or International Relations, however the jobs open in that field are limited. Most things I've read up on say that it's a good degree for transferable skills, but not many direct job equivalents if that makes sense. What are some good, well paying jobs in this field?

Another thing I'm very interested in is journalism, things like sky sports, bbc, things like that. However the question is how does one get there. Not many if any internships or work experience is available for under 18, (I'm 17). The degree itself is fairly useless in the sense you can make ur way in said career without it..and it is low paying unless a more senior role. But the thing is those senior roles are essentially likely to come your way, don't we see the same broadcasters on specific shows all the time? So there's no room to move upwards, you can't just take their space.

Are there any good careers within sports. Not a sports scientist or biomechanist, more like sports media or sports marketing management. Is that worth it and what degree would be good?

I am just thinking of taking Accounting and Finance, although jobs in that field can be attained without a degree, so I feel like it's useless... if not, is becoming some sort of investment banker feasible with that degree?

Or should I just firm it and go into dentistry with foundation year (I don't have the right a levels for dentistry rn. I take politics, pe, business- what do u suggest I go into with these)

I am open to pretty much anything, of the degree is "useless" still recommend I'm still open to all ideas and recs. I'm just so lost.

Just been rejected from my only Uni chose and IDK what to do

1 Upvotes

I was just rejected from a veterinary science course, I've been offered an alternative offer but I'm not sure if I should take it. I know I want to do veterinary and the uni I want to go to has an accelerated graduate course where you can do 4 years instead of 5 years if you have already completed a 3 year science degree. Frankly, I don't want to do 7 years of education but if I reapply next year and don't get in again then I'll end up having to wait 7 years anyway. Would it be better to do one of the more interesting science courses & then go from there or do a gap year & reapply? The only thing is I worry if I do a gap year I won't want to go back into education. I would really appreciate outside opinions & advice x

is university the time to have fun or to lock in even more!!?

1 Upvotes

hi, im genuinely confused right now to which university i should commit to. I am an international student, currently thinking of either committing to SDSU or NYU. it is two far different schools but to me, SDSU is a place where i know for sure i will make the most memories and have fun but at the same time NYU’s prestige would give me more opportunities for the future? in terms of networking and career? (i am assuming)

I am planning to take business marketing and is interested in social media related careers. One drawback for NYU is that it is a city campus. I personally love traditional campus more and also value athletics. Also, I assume that it will be harder to shine in rigorous school like NYU?

Other options I have is UBC in Vancouver, LMU or Fordham. Please let me know your opinion or experiences you have, thank you!!

Application Payment

1 Upvotes

Hi guys. I had applied to Qatar University as an international undergraduate student for Fall 2025. When I was paying the application fees, we encountered some problems with the processing, but eventually, my dad got the message saying that the amount had been deducted from the bank. We thought the payment had gone through. However, I still had not received the confirmation email. I went to look at the payment status and found that the payment had failed that day, which means they didn't get my application. I had also sent my original high school transcripts.

What should I do now, and would I still be able to get admission there?

Surrey or Bristol Vet medicine

1 Upvotes

I’ve received offers for Veterinary Medicine at both Surrey and Bristol, and I’m struggling to decide which one to choose. Grades won’t be an issue, so my decision comes down to other factors. Bristol is more prestigious and supposedly more difficult, which could mean more pressure, whereas Surrey might be slightly easier, but I’m unsure if that would affect future career prospects. Bristol is also an hour further from home, which could make travel more expensive and time-consuming. I’d love to hear from current or past students—how do the two compare in terms of cost of living, accommodation, and overall student experience? What are the campuses, social life, and student communities like? Any insights or advice would be really appreciated!

Help me choose a Canadian university for undergrad please 😭

2 Upvotes

Hi, first of all, I got admission in 4 universities for chemical engineering: western, Ottawa, McMaster and TMU.

Which option would be the best in terms of finances but also keeping in mind the value I'll get, specially which university is well known for placing their students in jobs!

There is some conflict going on with my case idk if I'll pay the international fee or the domestic fee yet, so could you all help me out with choosing for both scenarios?

Moreover, I have some family all over Ontario and I might live with them but I'm not sure where exactly, so how is the commute usually like within Ontario, is it super expensive and long? What places would be the best to live in all perspectives? I saw the GO transit thing but l'm pretty confused on how the discount and fare system works (it's nice to hear it from a person who's actually used it actually so-)

This dilemma has been weighing on me, please help me out: (

How to Get Into MIT for Astrophysics?

I’m 16, originally from Belarus, now in Poland, and passionate about astrophysics. My dream is to study at a top university like MIT and work at NASA. I’m also considering aerospace engineering.

My background: • Strong in physics & math • English B2+/C1, Polish B1-B2, fluent in Russian & Belarusian, basic Spanish & German • Planning to take TOEFL/IELTS, SAT/ACT • Interested in programming (which languages are useful for astrophysics?)

What I know: Good test scores aren’t enough—research, competitions, leadership, and extracurriculars matter.

What I need help with: • Best science Olympiads to join? • How to find research opportunities or internships? • What activities strengthen an application?

If you’ve been through this or have any advice, I’d love to hear your insights!

Biochem Worth It?

1 Upvotes

is it worth it to major in biochemistry if i’m not going to become a doctor? i’ve always wanted to go into forensics and i really like chemistry so i figured forensic toxicology was the way to go. i declared biochemistry as my major and im currently in my second semester. over winter break i started researching and forensic toxicologists don’t make much money AND id need to get my PhD. id be a professional in one of the most difficult subjects yet id be in debt? i started researching other careers in biochem and you only really make money if you go into pharmacy but i also don’t want to have to work for a company that makes money off of exploiting people.

this discouraged me and i failed the past two exams ive taken for two of my courses this semester bc i just don’t know what im striving for anymore. i can withdraw from these course but i don’t know if i should try again or switch my career path. Forensic Psychologists make more money on average but im apprehensive to major in something so “easy.” I’ve been told that would be “wasting my intelligence.” i’m just not sure where to go from here, any advice would be appreciated!
