Who on here is going to Uni in September then?

And if so where / what you applying for?

 

I wish!

Final year now, wish I didn't have to leave.</p>

 

Well do what I did then - become a lecturer!

 

And no regrets? nt nt

 

I don't think I'd be very well suited to being a lecturer

i hate being in lectures as it is (find my course pretty uninspiring), so can't see myself having a career in the area. However, I am hoping to go back to uni in a few years to do a different course, although it'll be a completely different experience being a bit older and going from home rather than in halls or such like

 

Oh..and where/what do you lecture on? nt

 

Associate lecturing?

What are your opinions?
AM in discussions with a local uni to do some associate lecturing work for them. Not sure about terms & conditions yet, and would be in tandem to current job. Is it a good option?

 

No none at all - despite the fact that i'm still at work, and do get very stressed at times, ultimately i love my job, and get well rewarded in more ways than financially (foreign visits, new IT kit, conferences, help with publishing, even positive feedback from students!).

BA (Hons) Tourism Management and BA (Hons) Entertainment Management@ Leeds Met.</p>

 

RE: Associate lecturing?

Financially it can be, but you need to be clear that if you are preparing a two hour class that has a lecture and workshop component it will take 4-8 hours prep time easily. So your &pound;35 per hour for the delivery is actually a lot less when you look at the bigger picture. that said, a few years backI did it in tandem with another job and was raking it in - didn't have much of a life though.

 

Don't leave it too late

fees are probably going up again to between £6,000 and £10,000 per year depending on course as from 2009/2010.

6 months holiday nt

 

Decisions....

Done guest lecturing (where my work takes the cash - easy - can prepare at work, and delivery not been a prob..)
My hubby is a lecturer - and he often disappears for weeks on end (physically & mentally - when he's in marking mode) and it is a total nightmare - 2 kids in the house & there just aren't enough hours in the day.
The money looks good & I could fit it in, but I don't want to turn into my husband mark II !!

 

Blimey, that's close

The work I'm doing is
BA / Bsc Events Management/ Sports Development/ Leisure & Tourism at various unis. Likely to link into Sheff Hallam Uni for associate terms.
Hudds Uni turned me down, but have done quite a bit at LMU in the past.

RE: wish I was, life of bloody Riley

Got a 2.1 in law from Leeds Met and am considering doing a MA so that I can do some lecturing. Looks like an enjoyable career. Getting a bit bored with my current office based career.

 

Applied to Hallam, York, Liverpool and Brighton

to do a Bachelor of Education Degree...had one interview at Hallam, should find out next week if i'm in, that's my 1st choice! (blaze)
