Default Just received my uni Results today...

For anyone that cares, Like Rick I also got a First Class degree I honestly cannot believe it, I have never passed anything so good in all my life I thought at best was going to get a 2:1 but properly end up with a 2:2 degree.

At least the four years and gamble of leaving a full time job paid off. I am over the freaking moon

Will be Celebrating in Amsterdam this weekend that’s for sure....

Nice one mate!!!!

It's a strange as hell feeling isn't it?!! Like you're kind of dreaming but not. I've only just started sleeping properly again - the stress of exams, and then waiting for results is now fading. Now it's the stress of finding a job

Did you go in to collect, or get the result through the post?

Rick.

Well done Rhys

They dont hand out Firsts in cornflake packets - they only come about as a result of loads of bloody hard work and commitment.

So well done to you, you need to shout it from the rooftops and be very proud of your achievement

West y, it was a BA International Business... imo i would go fulltime as part time would take forever mate..

Rick it truly is a strange feeling, cant quite belive it. No way did i ever think i would have got a first. Best think was on the International Business degree only 2 people got first and the other was my a very good freind who started uni at the same time.


Mike, a VERY good question... one im not 100% sure on if im honest. I know where i would like to end up and it sounds really geeky. I would love to work in the Euopean parliment helping to advise on business through the EU. But in mean time nbot 100% sure, maybe international logistics, Strategy, Development etc.... Though prob end up a tea boy

Well done Rhys! Brilliant news!

Just found out I passed all my first year modules so I'm chuffed to bits...no resits! Which is lucky as I couldn't even remember what modules I'd done let alone where the books etc are

Least they'll let me back next year!

Rhys - there was only 3 of us that got Firsts too.

But as the Head of Department said - Uni's don't give them out much - otherwise they'd be worth nothing
