Foundation degree course in Arb

[Jack-Arb aka Tiago Sinclair-Julio.]

Hello guys,

 

I would like some advice from someone who is doing a HND in arb or that as done it recently. One of the thing that is bothering me is that I cant really find a college or Uni that does this course part-time.

 

I live and work in London and from what I've seen around here theres no place that does it part time. I dont mind to travel out of London once a week to get to it. Ideally it wouldn't be more than 1 hour each way to get there by train. But I could make an effort if futher away!

 

The reason why I would like to do it part-time is that I would like to keep my job so I can finance it. It will last 4 years, one day per week. It seems a hell of a long time but time just flyes...

 

What I really need to know is, does anyone know of a place that as this course in or around London? And how intensive the work load is? And how usefull is this qualification?

 

I have a National Dip in Arb, quite a basic qualification and only recognised in the UK while the HND is recognised in most countrys in the world, this is one of the things that attracts me to do it. The other thing is that it opens quite alot of possibilities once I get fed up of climbing trees.

 

When I was doing the Nat Dip Arb it was a completly new subject for me, I did quite well but now feel that I would have gained lots more out of it now, that Im involved in the Arb world, I have much more questions that I want answers too, than before! As I said it was quite a basic course and I want to go much more in depth so HND must be what Im looking for.

 

So please anyone, with a little advise do let me know what you think of this course and a good place to do it at!

 

Cheers,

 

Jack

I've completed the Myerscough Online Foundation Degree. Very flexible course, although be prepared to dedicate the best part of three years to it.

Thanks Tony,

 

Im not sure if Im disciplined enough to do it online, I think that without a tutor and tutorials I would find it a lot harder. For me its quite important to have clear dead lines and as well someone that can be there to help me if things are not clear in my mind! Maybe online theres deadlines and a minimum of subjects one as to do in a year, or can you do as many as one wants? When you say the best part of 3 years working on it, how many hours a week those that mean?

 

Thanks any how, I found that Moulton college in northhampton does de foundation part time and its more or less one hour from London...

 

Do you think that its worth doing the extra year to get the B.Sc. (hons)?

 

Good night,
