I will definately have a closer look at the other options available. I've already looked into everything but i do need to look into modular in greater depth.
You're right though, my plan is to get onto an integrated course and work my ass off to try and get myself a recommendation and some good results to back it up. However, i know it's not quite as simple as that, aswell!
Fingers crossed it all works out, whichever route i go down.
