I put quite a low figure for salary sought as I believe I read somewhere (cant find where now) that the starting salary for FPP was 22,500 with the 12,00 a year buy in repayment on-top. Don't take this as gold as I have lost the link so nothing official to back this up.
With regard to the dates on university page thing I sent a "very polite" email to BA recruitment to let them know I cannot see the options on Google Chrome. I will try on my iPad and see if this works. Seems like an odd workaround to make it work but if it means I can get my application in I will try anything.
Thanks for the tip!!
