We had a talk from Heike Lowenstein who is the course leader of the BA Hons Degree in Derby. She talked to us about progression and I found it really helpful.
She told us what to expect if we went on to do a third year to achieve our BA Hons. She mentioned that if the university didn't feel you were ready for year 3 you could be put into year 2. This is something I would not want to do and so I feel it has pushed me to work even harder in the Foundation Degree and on personal projects to get myself to the standard for year 3 at a university if this is the path I decide to follow.
I was extremely interested in the placement year she mentioned, this would be something I would consider if it was a possibility for me to do as it would give me so much experience in the industry and Heike mentioned that it definately helps you have more chance of getting a job after university, as well as having a seperate qualification.
