What's the highest qualification you hold? What type of qualification is it and what grade did you get? Are you wishing to do any further education?

I hold a degree which is a BSc and I somehow got a first. I'm doing my masters next year and possibly a research degree in the future (mphil/phd). What about you guys?

I'm in the middle of doing my FdA then next year I'm gonna take it to a BA hons. I don't think I'll go onto do a masters I'll probably just get myself on a graduate scheme

That's cool, is a FdA a foundation degree type of thing? I'm surprised I'm going onto further education after my degree but I'm always wanting more once I've achieved something. I don't necessarily need a masters but it will help me move higher up in my career if I ever want to go into managerial roles in the nhs.

Yeahh it's a foundation degree.
Haha I'm the exact opposite I can't wait to be finished from education and actually start earning proper money! Tho I spose in the long run with you doing a masters you'd be earning more so it'll benefit you

That's exactly what I said though, now I've achieved it I'm itching to add something else to my credentials lol. I'm doing my masters part time also so it isn't too daunting, so I'll still be working full time and be having a few taught lectures every few months probably. Also a few of my modules will be practice based so will do them on the job which is good.

My current highest qualification is 3 distinctions in an Access Diploma which is the equivalent of A-Levels. I'm currently in year 2 of my Sociology and Education degree :D

I also did an Access course prior to university, it's all changed now and if I were applying to university now I wouldn't have the grades as I only got a pass in my access course... It's a shame as I'm clearly capable which is reflected in my classification but it's because certain courses are becoming more and more competitive I guess. Good luck, nearly there!

Good luck, are all masters grades in pass merit distinction? What would you say the jump is like from level 6 to level 7?

Thank you! That's correct, it's easy IMO. Feels the same workwise as my undergrad, I probably would have got a distinction but some idiot lecturer failed one of my group assignments so there's no chance now I don't think

Bachelor of Business in Information Systems. I never did further education as I was similar to others in this thread that I wanted to go straight into working rather than further education. However I have been studying part time to get further certifications like PRINCE2 Project Management.
