I somehow have a degree...

I saw my post from Canterbury CCU and thought that I have got my HE Dip through the post. I open my mail and find I have a Bachelor of Music degree!
This has just made my life VERY confusing! I really want to go to Chichester University next year. It has such a good music department, with so many wonderful people (WAY less bitchy than Canterbury!). I now have so many doubts. Now that I have my degree, I feel it is very cheeky of me to do two years of a BA (music) course. What I want is to have a degree with honours. It is again going to be a very tough decision for me.
I think what frustrates me most is that I had everything sorted out, and then suddenly it's made everything up in the air again.
I also think that Canterbury have treated me extremely poorly throughout the whole situation. I have had no help or support. These people then assumed that I would be coming back, (hell no) and then when they found out I was withdrawing, I had to then prompt them to give me my HE Dip. It took an absolute age for a start, and I had no warning that I was to get a degree at all.
In hindsight, they have not given me any support at all throughout my degree. My mum and nan died, and all I got was tip-toed around, and had my personal details spread around the department.
At least I know I made the right decision to withdraw from Canterbury. I suppose that's a plus, right??x

  1. Well done for the Degree but if you are supposed to get a HE Dip check with the uni for clarification on the matter.

    CCCU couldn't even get their housing right when I first started there. And through my own issues they didn't check up on me. I was able to move into uni accommodation eventually. However my issues wouldn't have happened if they had just got their act together in the first place!

    I am sorry you got the tip-toe. I can empathise with that.
    And one more thig, go to Chichester and enjoy it! xx

  2. Thank you lovely, yea I checked, apparently I had enough credits for a normo degree- I won't be complaining at that :P
    CCCU is so bad at pastoral care, considering they are a church university, they suck. I definitely will not be advising anyone to go there.
    Glad I met you lot though! I will be finishing the chi BMus course, which might have a masters attached! So that would be pretty darn awesome :D
    Hope you are ok darl x
