There was football before 1992? Can't be true.I'd have gone with Association Football in England before 1992.

Not really. Everything seems to be textually based. That said, one of my favourite essays I did at university was based on Islamic coins in Iran during a twenty year period (however, I only accessed them via an online database).Did you get to do any actual field work or did you not lean that way?
Hilariously she actually said “she’d got ENOUGH to get into university” not an F. I’d imagine the OP will be rushing to correct the thread title as soon as possible......The threads about someone getting to Uni with an F.
Congrats on the 2:1.
What are you doing next? Still more education? Or stepping away altogether? What did you do your final thesis on?
Just watched 3 pupils open results live on sky. One girl with a beaming smile declaring to the camera how happy she is with her "F" as it gets her into University.
WTF? Is this where we are at now in society that a "F" is seen as a success and pass and makes someone suitable to go into a degree course?
I like history far more now than when l did it for A level. Studying different eras to those forced on us night have helped. Having girls in the same building did not help.Cheers Mike. It's one of those. History is one of those subjects where it is hard to gauge how you have done - merely because it is so subjective. Some of the work that I have thought has been my best has come back with some of my lowest marks and vice versa.
That said, I think there are definitely conversations to be had about the value that universities are putting into certain degrees. For instance, in my final year at York, I had six contact hours a week. Hard to feel valued, or that I am getting my money's worth, with that amount of provision.
He'll enjoy York pal. Just graduated (well not officially, I'm waiting for the Zoom graduation at the end of this month) from York in June.40 yrs ago Leeds uni gave me the benefit of the doubt due to domestic circumstances . Today my son who has worked like a trooper and been one of the unlucky ones to be downgraded to a low grade hes never had before has been given his chance at York. So relieved but i cant get my head round todays events, his teachers here in Leeds were brilliant and that particularly includes 2 scouse lads who always encouraged all the kids with kindness. Now to find him somewhere to live!

I think archaeology is a lot more practical. It's a shame that history students do not get to overlap, as from a personal perspective, I have come to appreciate the 'physical' evidence a lot more as my degree progressed.
