Hi there,
I just read your post about your husband studying at a satellite college for a plymouth uni degree. I'm in a similar boat with a plymouth foundation but at a college in Bristol. I'm in the second year of a three year course but its being taught alongside full time students. My issue is that we, as part timers are a treated like a bolt on and we are essentially repeating the first year for the latest full time group to catch up. Its getting really bad and i too am wondering if i can get a refund for part of my course fees. We regularly turn up each week to be told that we need to sit through 1st year presentations and have lectures based on first year stuff. Not what we signed up to.
Given the fact that i also have a full time job i'm missing out on a days pay each week. In total, going to uni costs me nearly £7k a year and whilst i'm happy to pay it, im not getting value for money at the moment.
I was just wondering if you'd made any progress with your situation?
It would certainly help when i complain if i can give an example of someone else in a similar boat.
Many thanks
Steve
