are universities not going to be desperate for students this year with corona drop outs?

Presumably with significantly less foreign students too, unis have been run for profit so long that this makes me smile

creative writing

i did a ba in it 10 years ago and one of the lecturers i liked is now programme leader

the formal deadline is way past but facebook is still giving me ads saying its not to late to apply etc

when i did my ba i circumvented ucas by applying directly as a mature student so am hoping it might work this time as well

uni's will be desperate for anyone willing to give them money rn. i need to write my personal statement but i'm applying direct to uni. it still lets me so i assume i can

yeah they've basically just lost a full year of international students to covid + brexit and are desperate for money

almost tempted to make my personal statement "I'm going to pay £7400" and nothign else

the letter i wrote was 'hi remember me? i made a point that genuinely threw you mid lecture

i know the deadline has passed but the uni is still putting ads up on facebook and the press are saying courses are undersubscribed nationally

congrats on becoming course leader btw, so do you still have spaces and is it too late to apply

lots of love

graduating class of blah'

that but with capitals and stuff

its a good letter i hope, i genuinely want to do it because as i understand it i can make my ma 'write a novel' which i want to do anyway

and then it gives me a year to try and think up a phd topic that lindsey ellis hasn't already done a youtube video about

The unis have spent all their income building 'luxury' student accommodation to fleece their intake and now there's no students to fleece lol.


Good luck trying to convince people that 9 grand a year for a bunch of incompetently delivered Zoom lectures is an unmissable bargain.

Do one about the inescapable approach of death to all things and the interrupted nature of the self given sleep, and whether we should therefore consider all authors dead on release of their work, copyright accordingly and conduct all author readings as though they are seances.

Or one about if we can un-cancel all works by contentious authors by having an AI write a book with the same plot in their style.

Supposedly the uni I work at is having a great year for student recruitment. They barely have any international students in normal times though, so their situation is not representative of the sector by any means. I also don't work for the admissions department so they could be bullshitting.

I guess if it's a choice between entering the job market in 2020 or delaying it for 3 years at the cost of some fake debt that doesn't matter, then people will take the debt.

why not do a coursera course because it's from the university of eastern prussia and has a cool picture and then get bored and stop doing the tests halfway through

i think you can pay like £30 for a certificate you can print out on a laser printer and then that's £7370 for ketamine

I was entertaining the idea of having a part time research masters at Imperial about fondling dirt and writing it off as a business expense (HMRC guideline is quite vauge but if you are getting a degree directly related to what you do, you can declare it as capital expense) but lol I am on "international" bracket until I get my ILR and just imagine paying 17k for a zoom chat to look at the white plaster of a college professor while their children yell in the background.

I believe you can only claim for courses that maintain existing knowledge and skills, rather than new ones. Might be wrong so do give it a go, it'll give someone at HMRC something to do for an hour.

My accountant was also positive about it but there is absolutely zero appeal for paying a school full international fees for online learning.
