    I worked the clock round very frequently. did all the reading. I never went out and studied much harder than many of the others doing the same course, but still ended up with a 2:2. I have always been hard working and dedicatored but never got the results I deserve

    Maybe it's because you no speaka the inglish so good?!

    Oh and Sheffield Hallam... That's a polytechnic right?!

    Edit: Right I really must stop, it's like shooting fish...

    I decised to go to Sheffield Hallam over Sheffield as they are offering much more work experience with environmental companies and organisations which is important to get a job afterwards.

    I can ensure you that everything I have stated in this chat has been the whole truth. I have too much to do in my own life, thank you very much, to be so pathetic to lie about anything. Why would I bother coming on here to get advice if I were to lie.

    u

    Sheffield Poly..... yes they probably will take you if you pay to be taken...... but really why ever expect the tax payer to subsidise a vanity degree.... you can get any book published you want via vanity publishing.... why boast about attempted sponging. I suspect you are being scammed TBH, this qualification probably hqs little worth - no masters taking below a 2:1 does, and given a 3rd rate institution/no support - suggests no one else thinks worth funding. Postgrad. study is generally well funded *if* worthwhile......

    postgraduate study, in the form of a masters has very little funding behind it. Even if you get a 1st you will struggle with funding. My friend is at Leeds Uni on a taught masters with a 1st undergraduate and missed out on the few funding places. Thats why most people have to study part time / go back to parents house / take out a career development loan

    Did I fail to mention I'm a university lecturer with responsibility for allocating research council funding?

    believe me I have too much going on right now for attention seeking. I do have a 3 year old, remember? Don't you think I have enough on? And I'm moving at the end of Aug.

    No uni lecturer would be so strange as to state what you have been coming out with

    All my postgrad students get over £13k tax free if they are valued - if people want to work for free yes we humour them.....
