This is the worst academic period of my entire life. Myself and two of my friends are all under the same situation which makes it slightly better but still, I am losing the will to keep going. I started work for my dissertation in February, however, have had absolutely no feedback from my dissertation advisor (the same one with my two friends), have had about 2 meetings unrelated to the dissertation, am undertaking a topic which is extremely hard to write about and my submission was due on the 17th of April. The university are aware of the situation and i have circumstances in place so i got a 3 week deadline which is this Wednesday. I cannot tell you how much I have looked and done for this and went around in circles and how fucking annoying I am that it’s just not what i wanted it to be, my chapters are shit and idk wtf im doing with 0 guidance. This is seriously took a toll on my mental health and now I have words and chapters but I just feel like they’re all shit. I am honestly begging for reassurance at this point. Im working two days, so i really only have 3 more to go. Someone PLEASE give me advice

Hello UniUK!

I am looking to create an online magazine, but I'd like it to be that as you click through pages it has the sort of page turning 'animation'. Sort of like the example on this site: https://flippingbook.com/presentation-examples

I'm making an online vintage magazine as part of my coursework, I'm not the most tech savvy but I'll need to include my own images and text.

I'm having a little look online, but if any other students have ever done something similar can someone please recommend a program or anything I could use to make something like this? Is it possible to make a website with this kind of feature?

Due at 3pm tomorrow and haven’t started. It’s not a formal essay but a review of what I have learned this year. Probably about 3-5 references and mostly waffle on how my perspective has changed about certain topics.

I will write a 400 word plan tonight and will have about 7 hours tomorrow to write it up. Is this doable, success stories needed

Take over my tenancy, I have a gold en-suite room at a student roost accommodation in Glasgow city center called St Mungos. The tenancy is around 240£ per week. It's free from end of May until end of August 2024. Dm me for more information. (The picture is not accurate, it’s just to give an idea)

Any advice on how to get a part time job? I'm really struggling. I've been applying to so many positions, mainly at places like Lidl, Dunelm, Tesco, asda etc. They never get back to me, and the ones that do, it's just rejection. This happened to me last summer too where I'd apply to so many jobs and get nothing. I've talked with the career advisors at my uni and got them to check and improve my CV and everything.

it's the summer holidays now, won't go back to uni until September so I really wanna work.

My new boyfriend's mother is heavily invested in his life. He's 29 years old, is the eldest son out of 3 brothers. While I found it endearing first, it is now becoming a bit annoying. My bf mentions his mother a lot, frequently bringing her up in his conversations. He tells her EVERYTHING. If he has a new phone, shirt, bag, she's aware of it. She knows about his friends. Even girlfriends. I have seen my boyfriend's ex girlfriend in his mother's friend list on Facebook. He dated another girl for a while prior and that girl was also followed by her on Instagram.

He wrote a research paper and in the acknowledgements, he credited her for proof reading and support.

His mom is the same. Her active engagement is evident through her online presence, as she follows social media pages related to my boyfriends various academic and professional endeavors. From following pages associated with his UK university to those linked with an NGO he previously worked for, to even commenting on one of the pages and signing off as "X's mom xoxo".

Recently, she has followed pages related to the one of the causes he's aligned with and student workers groups he's joined at his new UK university. She has followed 5 pages of those organisations, all if which he told her about.

She was an alumni of this university and the reason he joined this university is because she is an alumni. He even copies her dressing sense as she wears coats with fur trims and that's why he also wears coats with fur trims.

I find it incredibly odd as she doesn't have such a heavy investment in his siblings life. She practically has little to no engagement with them except following his 2nd siblings ex girlfriend, who was their childhood friend. It's just my bf whom she is so invested in.

The father seems to have no hold or place in their life as he is barely ever mentioned.

I don't know but I find this level of investment quite unsettling and I feel like this woman would compete for attention if he starts giving another woman more attention than her.

What do you think?

So I want to enroll in this university, but I don't know when to apply for it any help would be appreciated especially from international students

Hey I recently got an email from my university saying I'm being investigated for using generative AI and that my work has been flagged. I've been told penalties will be given if other or more serious offences are flagged and substianted. The thing Is I didn't use AI? Does anyone what could have caused this? And what would happen. It was a Java program

I have 3 essays due in about 2 days. Two are done and one I’ve just started. The other two I spent about two solid weeks on each. I am really frustrated because no matter how early I start the assignments I am always rushing the last one and it ends up taking the hit. I am going into a masters next year so I wanted some advice on this.

I know the goal is to set myself deadlines through the process but I honestly felt like the essays just weren’t ready. I kept seeing gaps in my argument which I wanted to improve so I couldn’t leave it alone.

In the winter assessment season I got 72s on the essays I spent weeks on and a 67 on an essay I did on the last minute. Obviously the work does pay off but the difference isn’t huge enough to justify it if you get my drift. So, I was curious, what’s your approach to an essay(s) of that length.

I'm dropping out. I've spoken to my tutor about my mental illnesses & falling behind and was given two options; 1: Complete the 6 modules I haven't even started by summer, or 2: suspend my studies. I don't plan to return to uni so i'm dropping out. What will happen regarding maintenance loans? My semester finished a couple weeks ago and I've just used the loan that was given in April to pay off my rent. I'm worried if I drop out now they'll ask for it back.

It is in top 10 in UK for universities and the finance program is 47th in the whole world. Lot of people say it's bad, but people on campus say it's good. Could I get some more insights from you all and professionals? I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Their whole brand is about their graduate prospects, but i cant find recent stats on law graduates— only those from 2016 ish.

Does anyone know how much you can realistically earn as an llb graduate from lse? Say you really did the hard work behind to find a decent job.

Would it be worth putting yourself into debt for the lse degree, as an intl student?

Trying to think of all options but constantly come across things I didn’t know exist like prosthetics and orthotics degree for example. So what degrees do you know that are based around learning the content for a specific role?

Hello. I'd like to ask if you have heard what the level of University of Manchester is for postgraduate study in Advanced Computer Science? What is the atmosphere in the Uni? Is there free time apart from studying? Is it good choice for CS? Thanks in advance!

I have received offers from Uni of Glasgow, Southampton, Sheffield, Liverpool. I have applied for 2 eligible scholarships at Glasgow, and awaiting their response. The deadline to pay my deposit is 15th of may. Am I being irrational by waiting for them to grant me a scholarship or should I ask the admissions team to extend my deposit period.

I am also waiting for an offer from Uni of Manchester(I applied a bit late) and Warwick. However, my top choices are Manchester and Glasgow.

Should I go for Liverpool or Southampton even though they are not my top choices or should I wait for Manchester’s offer or Glasgow’s Scholarships. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Like the title says, I’m most definitely going to graduate with a 2:2 this year. I hate to sound like I’m trying to find an excuse but I had a really traumatic incident in second year and my grades plummeted from consistent firsts to 2:2s and some 3rds. I’ve just finished 1/3 of my exams in final year, and part of me is telling me it went terribly but looking back it might’ve not been too bad, the only way I would’ve got a 2:1 is if I got 1sts in them but now I know that’s pretty unlikely.

The ecology industry is already horrendously competitive, am I likely to get into anything with a 2:2 and 0 experience? Ive already been turned away from countless jobs and graduate schemes, even recruitment agencies have had trouble finding anything for me and I’m worried I might have to change career. Ideally I want to get into environmental management mostly because I have a passion for the business side of things, does anyone know how hard it is to get into that job market?

I got an offer letter from this Uni but don't know if it's the best college for Animation.

May I know if there's any student who completed their Animation courses from this Uni and if that's best or not?

Hi all,

Before finishing sixth form I wanted to do a Degree Apprenticeship instead of the traditional degree route. However at that time of applying I went through extenuating circumstances and later joined Uni so couldn’t apply. However this year I applied and just got an offer for the Degree Apprenticeship but I’m currently still in my first year of uni. It’s for Computer Science and the degree apprenticeship is a digital degree at the same Uni.

Would I be able to drop out to do the degree apprenticeship or not? I would probably be doing the same modules but I don’t want to continue this route and want to persue the degree apprenticeship.

Thanks

Currently doing Medicine 2nd year, and I’m just not sure how these can possibly be the best years of my life! I’m stressed off my head practically 24/7 , during exam season the med gcs ARE FILLED WITH PEOPLE COMPLICATING THE MODULES AND STRESSING everyone out, exams are the worst! Constant fear of being kicked out if you fail an exam, constant revision whew 🥵 does anyone else feel this way?

Me and my friend got our tests back for a maths module, we discussed earlier in the term about our exam answers and found out we got the same answers (It was an online test, so we just compared AFTER the exam). But now getting my results back, I have managed to get almost 30% lower than him?

Im not too worried about it, as it does mean I still get a first class in the module, but I don't understand where the massive differences in our grades come from? Would it be worth asking to get it remarked?

hi, i’m a final year science undergrad and already repeating this final year due to ill health and accommodation issues that meant i had to drop out in the middle of my dissertation deadline last year. but then a month into the year my gran (who helped raise me when my dad left and so was basically my second parents) fell seriously ill. i had to fly home a few times over the year when things weren’t looking good - im already not great at attendance but this made it much worse. then 50 days before the deadline of my dissertation, which i hadn’t even looked at bc i was struggling to keep up with everything else, my gran passed away. im not a super emotional person but this obviously affected me a lot and it was tough that i was only able to spend a couple weeks grieving with my family before i had to come back to uni to get my other deadlines in.

when i got back i requested a 1 week extension from my course coordinator (granted) and then an extra 1 week from the formal exceptional circumstances method (refused - ‘not appropriate’). but i was nowhere near finished and didn’t want to submit a half finished diss just bc of circumstances i can’t control. i then had to stop working on it bc exams began, and i still haven’t submitted my half finished diss. i’ve got a meeting with the year head today where im gonna talk to her about this but does anybody know what kind of situation i can expect or request? if they gave me like 2 weeks after end of exams to submit i could probably get it done but that’s summer so surely too late? i don’t believe i can repeat the year again nor do i particularly want to

any advice appreciated, thanks :)

Looking at some foi requests for my uni I’ve seen that the average grades for some second year modules on my course were between 40%-50%. 85% of people graduate from my uni with a 2:1, so does that mean that grades are adjusted for these modules so that the average is 60%?

im a penultimate year student at kent studying social sciences with languages. I'm reaching the end of my year abroad. whilst I've been out here, I've been keeping up to date with my friends of news about my uni. they've closed down numerous subjects including languages due to low student recruitment and funding loses. kent aims to essentially 'teach out' the courses at risk, so I can still have my language classes when I come back for final year. my main course is fine, its just languages that are being phased out alongside humanities like english/philosophy/journalism

it is a bit hard to enjoy my year abroad because I have such worries at the back of my mind. i started uni in 2021, so when kent was still good/strong and respected but not as much as other universities. a family friend went here and said the uni was great, so I felt very confident on attending. but now I am far into my course, the reputation of the uni seems to keep falling. Im becoming stressed about my job prospects for when I graduate in a years time. people say that rankings and rg vs non rg doesn't matter, but I wonder if the rg bias is still strong for a reason.

im competing against students from universities with stronger reputations. even with a year abroad, im worried I will not be able to compete on the market. i have some work experience on my cv - a couple of internships and volunteering down, and hoping to do one more this summer. but now I'm worried if even all of this effort is enough to get any good job offers. reading posts on reddit makes me fear my time at kent may not have been worthwhile. its considered to be mid/decent but not great. it doesn't seem to be as well respected as I thought.. with whats happening now, people are suggesting the uni could shut down entirely. in a way, im worried this will affect my career prospects and might be considered embarrassing for when its time to apply for real jobs? this has been getting me down a bit..

tldr; will my future job applications be treated harshly because of my uni's (somewhat) declining reputation?

I'm on placement right now and will be going back to do my final year in September, I've been speaking to multiple supervisors about potentially taking me on for my final year project which will be a horse racing AI predictor to find value in betting markets, if I do this, will I own the rights to this to potentially make it commercial and make money off it or will the university own the rights to it as I did it as a project under their name?

hi! my course allows people to pass the year with only 100 credits, as long as all the compulsory modules are passed. is there any real downside to only passing with 100? i assume if you want to apply for competative masters or any PhD programs they’d take it into consideration, but anything otherwise? im going to ask my tutor but just thought id post here in the mean time, thanks!
