I could go on to do social work. My first degree is in educational studies with early childhood and doing the MA I can go on to become an educational welfare officer hopefully

Well good luck to you. by the time i've finished my degree I'll have done 5 years in total, starting right from scratch, I wasn't even upto GCSE level when I went back!.
If you've only just finished your 1st year and you're already planning a MA you must be loving it.
All the best

I really enjoy it Sally, but I was in the same boat as you. When I had my first dd (she is 4) I did a GCSE in Maths, then the following year did a GCSE in English and found out I was pregnant with dd2 and was due to give birth to her before my final exams. I still managed to get an A don't know how. Then I progressed on to the access and now uni. So it will be 8 years of study!

Hey!

I want to go on to do social work at Uni! I'm about to do a Diploma in Health and Social care, which takes two years then I can go to uni!

But I've never heard of the Acsess course? How long does it take to complete? and is it a good course to take? I might think about changing if it leads to the same uni course i wanna do?

Thanks guys.

Access takes a year full time (12 hours usually a week) and part time is 2 years.

The access course really prepared me for uni and I did get alot out of it.

Personally I think an access course is the best way to prepare for uni. It's a fantastic course to take.

I did it over 1 year, but I had my GCSE English, only needed my maths, however, if you need your English and Maths then they'll advise you do it over 2 years becasue it's a lot of work. Of course if you don't need them then 1 year is the quickest way. I do know that most uni's ( for SW degree)requires a min of GCSE math and it's always good to have some experience in the form of volunteer work.

Driving soon you should go to your connexions centre for advice on this, some unis do a four year course with a foundation year affiliated to a college, There are probably courses in social work this way also, worth a shot, it is similar to an access course (probably as intense) but may be worth looking into as well
