Read the parts in bold and then tell me why I put them in bold.

what. has someone edited my list, i put (only at top 5 universities) and now its gone.

o no wait i see what you mean....... NO just cos the degree is acceptbale, it doesn't mean the A level is.

[Ozzinator$]

Sociology has the top 5 Uni's but not Psychology.

[Kyle]

would like an explanation for each

[Okeanos]

Sociology has the top 5 Uni's but not Psychology.

cos sociology isn't as academic, obviously.

[Kyle]

cos sociology isn't as academic, obviously.
and religious studies/theology?

[Okeanos]

and religious studies/theology?

they are academic though.

[Kardan]

Woop, 0/4 of my A-Levels is on this list. Glad to know Okeanos likes my A-Level choices.

[Kyle]

they are academic though.
wht makes them more academic than sociology

[Cerys]

Ok none of my choices are on here
Doesn't mean I'm gonna succeed in life though :(

[Charz777]

I think I should get away with this! None of my A-levels are listed except the AS-level in Citizenship that we HAD to do! :P

[Futz]

[Chippiewill]

Citizenship

Bull ******* ****.

[Okeanos]

teenager? :rolleyes:


Bull ******* ****.

its true, sorry

[Chippiewill]

its true, sorry

Either it's all decent (Except textiles, **** that) or it's all crap.

[FlyingJesus]

Pssssst your choice of A levels has very little to do with university unless you pick a really specialised degree

[Hannah]

they are academic though.

LOL WHAT?

How is religious studies academic?

[Sian]

Bull ******* ****.

archaeology isn't a great a level, mainly if you plan on doing archaeology as a degree. :)

[Sharon]

well I'm going to college next year and three out of my four are on there lol plus I wanna go to uni and do law

sorry u don't like my choices

- - - Updated - - -

also why not computing? had a college interview today and i was basically forced to do computing as he said it would help me get into doing law at uni lol

[Mark]

This lol. What are you even studying Okeanos and where?

[Catchy]

he does an open uni degree mark lol

[Mark]

he does an open uni degree mark lol

I did an open uni module in my last year of school lol. It's good but it's definitely nothing like the real thing. How on earth can he judge anyone's A-levels when he clearly didn't have the requirements to get into uni? Some people are strange...

[Yawn]

he want to get more -rep from u all duh -.-
since ppl started +repping him when he become lowest rep on forum or w/e

[Okeanos]

This lol. What are you even studying Okeanos and where?

ucl. modern languages.

what module? i bet it was one of the crappy little 10 credit ones which are for school kids. ps i got into much better unis than you.

no i dont. :S

It was 15 credits (An introduction to contemporary law in Scotland) and of course it's not going to be anything more weighty, I had other exams to do...

[Okeanos]

It was 15 credits (An introduction to contemporary law in Scotland) and of course it's not going to be anything more weighty, I had other exams to do...

so you aren't in any posotion to judge the OU, as all proper OU modules are 30 or 60 credits. the 'introduction to contemporary law in Scotland' module is an introductory module, it doesn't count towards any quantification.

[FlyingJesus]

Yes it does all OU modules can count towards a degree, that's kinda how the place works

[Kardan]

Wait, what are peoples opinions on how much credits a module is worth?

I thought it was more impressive if you did small credit modules (E.g: 12x 10 credit modules in a year), as it's a lot more work to juggle than simply 2x 60 credit modules?

[FlyingJesus]

ps congrats on doing a languages degree so you can spend your life not getting the jobs that people who are actually bilingual apply for

[Okeanos]

this just proves you know nothing about the OU. youre wrong.


I thought it was more impressive if you did small credit modules (E.g: 12x 10 credit modules in a year), as it's a lot more work to juggle than simply 2x 60 credit modules?

sigh. it isn't possible to do 12 x 10 credit modules because as i say - the only proper modules are 30 and 60 credits.


ps congrats on doing a languages degree so you can spend your life not getting the jobs that people who are actually bilingual apply for

lol. you clearly know nothing.

[FlyingJesus]

I am not wrong. All modules are worth points and all points can be used. It would make no sense at all to even give them points if they weren't for anything. Use your brain, in whatever language you want to

[Chippiewill]

sigh. it isn't possible to do 12 x 10 credit modules because as i say - the only proper modules are 30 and 60 credits.

comity said youre stupid and weird now cos you were rapd? :O lol


That's a whole lot of nonsense.

right, you study with the OU do you? no... okay, so you dont know.

FlyingJesus; Chippiewill; - There's no point telling him he's wrong, cause he doesn't listen. I tried telling him he was wrong when he said Habbo UK opened in 2004, but he didn't listen. And he reckons the US Hotel was the 5th one to open (It was the 12th).

.co.uk did open in 2004 :). i dont care what youre talking about, i was clearly talking about the OU.

[FlyingJesus]

So you're wrong about education (obviously, you're doing a modern languages degree), decide to chat about me to disabled kids, and then laugh at rape. What a lovely chap

[scottish]

UK (.co.uk) opened in 2001 and closed 2010

US (.com) opened 2004 and closed 2010

English (.com) opened 2010 after merge

youre making fun of disabled people and youre crying that we laughed that you were 'raped'. total hypocrite. ps i wasn't wrong.

It would be impressive workwise but also not possible since there aren't that many smaller modules that you can do and still link to a specific outcome degree, and you have to have a certain number of points from level 2 and 3 modules which as far as I know don't come in smaller credit numbers

I'm not making fun of anyone, don't know why you needed the inverted commas, and yes you were

Should we tell him that it was also .co.uk when it opened?

Should probably ignore the part that says: 'This hotel is primarily for teens in the UK, but everyone is welcome.'

are you one of those people who buys old accounts and then pretends to be an old user? im wondering cos ive never ever heard of you, and if you really had been playing since 01, i would have.

Yes it did, and no I just never wanted e-fame. Always been very selective about who I befriend so it would be really tedious for me if I had a following. I've never heard of you either other than on here as an idiot, does that mean you buy accounts?

so you have heard of me. yeah, i think youre lying. i cant be arsed to argue with a liar who pretends to understand the OU. boring.

[FlyingJesus]

In the past couple of days because of these threads, sure :S not quite the same as knowing you from the hotel because you're supposedly oh-so-famous, and you're still wrong about the OU too. Tragic really

[Mikey]

I'm going for a Media and Communication degree. I live in Scotland and went to college to do my Higher National Certificate and Higher National Diploma so I can get into university, I don't see why that makes me stupid?

What gives you any right to say to people that they are stupid and don't belong to university because of the sort of degree they want to do. Also.. who the hell cares if you are going to the 'best' universities, a degrees a degree, doesn't matter where you get it from.

Wow Okeanos, it's almost as if you post these threads to increase (or decrease) your negative reputation. I graduated last summer and now work all over Europe, right now for example, I'm in Dublin, last week I was in Romania. I'm earning a very decent wage and get to travel all over with great working hours (work alone from my laptop mostly). My point is: I didn't study any of the subjects you mentioned.

[Chug!]

I did Music Tech at A Level & do Sound Design at Uni. Without Uni I won't get into Live Sound/TV Sound. After speaking with these people with different companies, they like degrees. they like people with that experience.

So I don't know who you think you are, or where you're coming from.

well yeah..?

who the hell cares? As a sixth former about to go to university, I want to go to the best one.
Employers care. Who would the investment bank rather employ: someone with an economics degree from LSE, or someone with an economics degree from Northampton?

In some cases I'm pretty sure the university you go to can be more important than the degree you got there :P

or atleast checking the previous years employability after completing their degree at that uni, the uni i went to wasn't one of the best, but employability was a bit better for archaeology, so if we weren't in an economic **** hole, i'd probably be doing a job i'd love.

yeah, but its probably fair to say that, in general, employability/graduate prospects will go up as the university's position in the rankings goes up.

[Glen Coco]

I did 3 subjects on the 'no point in doing them list' at a levels - at least I didn't go uni as you wouldn't have approved hey!
got on a course to do veterinary nursing though - so good one.

[Shar]

Two of my a levels are on this list. I wish you were here to tell me not to go to university.
