one of my action plans for the start of the academic year, was to continue my studies, because the course i am on (Graphic design & advertisement) is only 2/3 year of a B.A Degree i have to look for a course that will help me either progress onto the second year or third year.


i had to apply again through ucas system. i applied for several course that relate to one i am on currently on.


i was asked to an interview at The Manchester College. the course will continue from my two years, onto a 'TOP UP DEGREE'.


this will enable me too a full B.A degree level in Graphic design & advertisement but, also visual communications.


At the interview, we discussed what the course had to offer and how it will benefit me as a designer. then was asked several questions about my past two year and presented them with a portfolio with maximum of 15 pieces of my academic work but also my free lans work.


The interview was 20 min long and by the end they were happy to give me a place on the course. 


I  am still awaiting to hear from the other universities too find out if i have a place with there courses as well.
