That's it really!
Just enrolled on an English degree and no idea what I will do with it when finished.
However, it's important to me to do it even with no concrete outcome!
What are you studying and what do you hope to get out of it?

I want to sign up for a Health Sciences degree because i want something for me. I regret not going to university when younger. I will be too old for a career change afterwards and a couple of people have asked why i want to bother at my age.

I've just applied to do the access course (15 years since I've been in education) and then plan on starting my degree part time after that.
I'm hoping to better my career options. I love my job right now but once the kids are at secondary school I really want to focus on my job, income and pension

I'm about to finish my first module of my health and social care degree with the OU. I'm hoping to get a 2.1 so I can go on to do the step up to social work post graduate diploma to become social worker.

I'm 55 and doing one module at a time so I don't expect to actually do anything with mine, just keep my brain active.

I start back this October after two years off. Level 2, 3 modules. Currently on an Open Pathway but could switch to Combined STEM as modules are on that pathway. All are environmental/social science. Considering any roles in environmental management/planning or possibly teaching. I would love to do a masters in disaster planning & management but will see when I graduate. I loved most of my studies so far and cannot wait to get back to it.
