Where can I do 'A' levels?

without breaking the bank?

I was thinking of transferring to a P/T clinical physiology degree at Manc Met Uni but i have been told entry requirements are either 2 A levels or a degree already completed. I cant use my national certificate or my access to HE cert.

I can't get a reply from the email address supplied on their website i've benn waiting over 10 days!

so just wondered if it was poss to sit A levels somewhere

Dont Think A-level Is Easy! It Is A Lot Of Hard Work!

Your local college?

MMU offer a foundation Science year which is for people who have the right level of qualification but not in the right subjects. It adds an extra year to the degree (rather than the two needed for "A"levels) but comes under the HE funding umbrella.

Check the website and give them a ring.

I'd really recommend the NEC, they are great - the tutors are brilliant and theya re very flexible if you want to say take a bit of time off or whatever.

It would take 2 years to do A levels according to my local college website and £800.

The foundation degree at mmu doesn't appear to link to clinical physiology

I might as well finish my current degree which will take 2 years and just end up with 2 degrees!

Rude, I know, but how old are you?

If you are over 21, you can often get accepted on a course as a mature student without the relevant entry qualifications.

It might be worth enquiring.

not rude at all

i am 25, however clinical physiology is a strict course to get on they have recently (sept 2005) stopped NVQ3 counting as a relevant entry qualification.

I am still waiting for an email stating in black and white what the entry qualifications are and i have sent two so far.

I have a training officer at work now who is going to try and find out more for me as our work already have some people on the course.

2 A levels? What grades do you need?

If you are good at maths, and actually want to succeed, I am certain you could get a C in maths A level within 6 moths (although the exams are only in January/June).
