grafiti has it right (ish). I'm getting a Level 6 qualification this year, and I should scratch it, if I shovel on the cramming. In a year's time (when I'll move) it will be a Level 7 qualification.
Thanks for the replies. Funny enough, I'm willing to go back a year or so if I can get a place in the UK next year. I was thinking of spending a few years in London (I was thinking of it before last week's attacks, and they haven't influenced me for or against) for pure life experience. I'm in Dublin at the moment, so I don't kow really. One side is pulling me in the "stay close to home & support" direction, the other saying "get out and find yourself". My main focus at the moment,though, must be getting the repeat exams in August. Without those, it's repeat the year and pay fees.
