I could cry on behalf of my adult dd

in 2016 my dd completed year 2 of her social care degree. She deferred year 3 to move to France to improve her French language skills. She spent over 4 years there and then returned home.

She applied to the college (in February this year) to continue her studies and was accepted into year 3 of the course and started it 2 weeks ago. At the end of her first week she got a call from the course director to say that she cannot continue on the course as the modules she did in year 1 & year 2 no longer comply with module standards approved by CORU (the social care regulatory board here in Ireland). The only option they are offering her is start year 1 again. She is devastated

She has decided that starting again would be soul destroying as it would be repeated modules but with the updates in them. She has decided to do an arts degree with French and Geography as her subject. But it’s too bloody late for this academic year. Had her application been rejected in February whe could have applied for the arts degree but it’s too late now.

oh I’m so upset for her and did have a cry with her last week. I know that at 27 she’s an adult but she’s still my child 😭

Again, was that Ireland?

Social work is not a vocational course, and you cannot do a Masters in it without having a degree, and OP's DD does not have a solid knowledge of or experience in the field.

The dd here can absolutely not under any circumstances do the Masters without the degree, so stop derailing

No, England. She could do a masters in a related social science even if it's not social work. It's not a derail, its a valid way of 'recovering' her mistake.

No, she couldn't do that in Ireland. You do understand that its an entirely different country?

I've just checked and yes you can do a masters in my field, in Ireland, with relevant experience in lieu of UG degree. I assume it's the same for other subjects, maybe not social work but there are career options open to OP's DD.

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

Thanks for the britsplaining there based on your 2 min google, but I can assure you that there is absolutely no way that the person described in this thread can get in to any social science masters without an UG degree.

This ad even if they could CORU would no accept it. You cannot be a Social Worker is Ireland without CORU registration.
