Hi
Just looking for some advice
My son was doing a Biomedical Degree at a Uni in Scotland. He’s had 4 resits in his third year, passed two and failed two.
Uni are saying he can leave now with a Higher Diploma in Education- I presume that’s an HND. Or retake the modules he has failed in the next academic year, pass them (hopefully) and graduate with an Ordinary BSc Degree.
Does an Ordinary Degree have any merit these days? I think things have changed a lot in the last 20 years.
Could he accept the HND and apply to another Uni and complete a similar Degree there?
He doesn’t actually want to work in the specific area of Biomedicine any more - but a broader degree might be more attractive to him.
We are Scottish, in Scotland. He’s obviously using up his entitlement to having his fees paid - but we’d be willing to fund another year if we need to.
He currently has 230 credits, he needed 260 to carry on into 4th year.
Has anyone been in this position/ work in Uni’s and have advice.
