Wow…. I must be so blinkered, really I must - How can anyone even consider the option of an integrated course in this current economic climate? Integrated course prices are so inflated at this present time, all those considering such a route would certainly require a professional loan I would expect - £80,000min + £15/20,000 interest with a predicted minimum repayment of £1,000 each month. Yes, of course if you successfully finish the course and obtain employment Brilliant, nevertheless, what would happen if your personal circumstances changed, as result you did not to finish the course!!! Huge debt coupled with limited job prospects.

IMHO – If you or your parents have sufficient assets to cover potential losses, then fine go for it, if not think carefully of what could be!

One could always consider the ‘structured’ modular approach offered at BGS!!

Sorry, I don’t mean to be so negative, I appreciate the benefits of integrated courses; I just think the potential risks are so high at this time!!
