Morris Minor Owners Club

Finally...

After 4 years work resulting in failure,

3 more years work doing something a bit easier

and 2 more years topping it up...

I have just submitted the final piece of work for my BSc in Engineering and Management

So 9 years to get a degree (4 years failing, 3 years of HND, 2 years of degree)

Im sure lifes not going to get any easier though

Well done on getting as far as you have.
Life is one long university and learning never finishes!
As regards engineering I am still learning even though I have been involved with its many different aspects for over fifty years.
I have come to realise how little I know in the great scheme of things. Just pass me the big hammer it will solve any problem!

Congratulations Now you can manage your repair work on your Minor And you're right. life won't get any easier, but just enjoy it for whatever it brings - it's a lot better than the alternative

FAB news ,It shows no gain without the pain

Well done! I have a BSc hons and agree it is hard work. Fingers crossed opportunities of a better paid job come your way too. ;)

A very well done and keep at it - can sympathise re the workload and difficulty.

Very well done, you deserve to be really satisfied with that result. I did something similar years ago, but gave up half way through. So i know how tough it is. Again, well done.

Well done Matt a credit to you many would have given up but now you begin the school of life and hopefully it will reward you

well done take a few years off and then on with your masters

Thought the idea of being a student and getting these qualifications was to get a well paid job, not get them and have a few years off!!

Well done What uni from?

Sorry for the late reply

University of Portsmouth... but I only physically went there twice I have been doing it all whilst working (40hrs/wk + about 14hrs/week commute)

And im not sure I could deal with a masters at the moment

Got the mark for the last bit of work this morning.

Looks like I should be getting a 2-1

Well done Matt worth it in the end

Sweet, well done. No exams then?!

did the exam last year

Cool, can i ask what your dissertation was in?

It didn't do a dissertation as such...

I did a HND in Mech Eng, which accounted for 240 of the 360 marks required.

A learning management module (reflective reports etc) was 20 mark
A taught course in management techniques was 20 marks
Then 2 work based learning modules (self specifed) at 40 marks each.
These were "Remote Size Reduction Techniques in the Nuclear Industry" and "The impact of changing waste management and legislative controls on alpha facility decommissioning" These were both ~5000 word reports with the reflective reports.

What kind of work are you wanting to do Matt ?
