Who's going to be the first to imagine that it might be hereditary? I can certainly think of a few
I think that bicycles are still available in major cities and they can be used by able bodied people who have to travel more than a mile or so on a regular basis.
York is in the top ten universities for law in the uk and Newcastle doesn’t make the top 100, could this explain the difference in attitude?
I think they must be easy.
Which ever way you look at it, moving to a post A-Level system is difficult. It was tried under the Con-Lib coaltion and failed. Essentially, teaching of A-Levels would have to be time-reduced to enable exams to be sat and marked earlier in the academic year. Applications would be completed and processed over the summer period (good luck wuth asking teachers to give up their summer to process UCAS applications), and universities would have to adjust their academic year accordingly. That's a lot of vested interests to change.Only administrative ones for universities.

Thankfully this has all be resolved, York have formally rejected him so he can persue Newcastle & they will probably offer him a place if his errant papers are re-graded upwardsThis is crap - they aren't even similar courses - I'd no idea universities could do this. If the UCAS guideline is 24 hours is there any scope for threatening York with legal action in the event that he misses out on other opportunities while they are handling the entirely predictable burst of work following the results?
They'll have key decision-makers present, but a lot of their central admin staff will be on holiday.
M level degree that's not really the equivalent of a masters,
An underlying question is 'why are predicted grades unreliable?'. My bet is human behaviour is intrinsically difficult to measure, something that those of us who 'work with people' know onlt too well.
until a few days it was due for submission so took a trip to another uni, robbed a dissertation, added his own cover before submitting it.
How's the medical school? My cousin was accepted by York. Didn't get her first choice in LDN.
He did think about this but I have a friend who is a Barrister & he advised against it as it just adds on another year of debtVery sorry to hear about the OP's predicament. Many lawyers think that students are better off studying another course eg history, classics etc before going to law school or the bar. I've met many QCs and other senior barristers over the years, and many of them did not do law as their first degree. Just a thought.
Long time since I heard someone use the term "M Level". Since FHEQ it has been known as level 7. MEng, MChem, MSci, MPhys etc etc, are award titles that can only be used is the programme is accredited by an appropriate professional body. They are known as integrated masters programmes, and involve the same quantity of level 7 study as a masters in addition to the credit points needed at levels 4, 5 and 6.
Well, that is not true. York was rated 11th when Theo applied & I think it has dropped slightly. Newcastle was in the 40's so York was his first choice but a Law degree from a Russell Group uni is pretty valuable & will give him some great opportunities. I don't have a problem with York turning him down, it is their perogative but there is no excuse for their attitude. These are young adults at a vulnerable time & should be treated appropriately. AAB is pretty decent results wise & I don't consider my son a failure. If it wasn't for his illness he would have walked it.York is in the top ten universities for law in the uk and Newcastle doesn’t make the top 100, could this explain the difference in attitude?
I had to get all of our courses though the Bologna accreditation requirements and pretend somehow that 120 = 180 credits at level 5. Where's the level 4 you might ask...
Typically it will mean zero marks for the dissertation and no degree
there is no excuse for their attitude.
ah yes I remember the alignment process well. I cant remember our currency conversion, I knew it was weird, but I do know we still delivered the same hours of teaching for the different amounts of credits
