    Hi everyone, sorry i haven't replied - been really snowed under with placement and college work - Marsh - i would apply anyway if i was you and if your not successful just see it as a test run :)

    I've still not heard from paisley yet - trying not to panic too much as they say 'whats for you, won't go by you' :winkiss:

    Don't know what's going on with my email but I've checked and it's not there. Will just double check my junk mail just in case. Weird! I just wondered if my first pm had sent to you because it wasn't in the sent folder so I re-sent it. Sorry you must have been thinking that one has lost the plot haha x

    I think they are planning on changing the programme, not sure if it will be this year or next year, but I agree first year is the most intensive in terms of time in uni. I don't know how old your children are, but be prepared to have to spend a lot of time on uni work when you are not in class, especially as you move on into second and third year. (I'm 3rd year at UWS just now). Good luck with your application.

    The first year is apparently pretty much 9-4 Mon-Fri. I can email you the timetable when I get home (in uni) if you send me your email addy :)

    imo it would be hard to do. Please dont think I am trying to put you off, just giving you an idea of the work involved. Uni is full time hours then I usually have another 10-20 hours reading / revising / doing assignments every week. Some of the girls in my uni have a job but none of them have kids and they all live with parents.
    I dont have kids or a job and I think the girls with kids have a time turner that Hermione uses in Harry Potter to get all their work done ;)
