Looking to go back to university...

Right, this will possibly be a long thread, and I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

Basically. I'm 24 Years old in a dead-end job, and looking to go back to university to become a Radiographer.

I am currently house sharing with a friend and I've now finally decided to grow up and realised that this is what I want to do.

However, I have little money available - around 800, and with me working full time to pay the bills etc...It's going to be hard!

Has anyone got any advice before I take the plunge?

    Do you already have the qualifications you need to do a Radiography or will you need to study for a period first?

    When you apply, will you want to study locally or move to anywhere that offers you a place?

    The radiography degree offers a means tested bursary of around £400 a month I believe.

    Plus student loan, maintenance grants etc.

    I looked into this too, and it does seem a good choice.

    A friend is going uni this year to do it, he did an access course first though.
