subject: University Up-Take or Let-Down? - What To Do If Your Learning Pathway Takes A Sudden Twist [print this page] Did your university take you up or let you down? Is your life is mapped out for the next 3- 5 years, or are you struggling to come to terms with the let-down? If your learning pathway has taken a sudden twist, what should you do next?
If you have just lost out on a university place through higher uptake or lower grades than expected, what other options are available to you at this moment in time? Do you have to 'kill' another year or is there something you can be doing that can set you up for the rest of your life?
There are other options available which can be just as fulfilling, but via a different route. Although a loss of opportunity is hard to bear, oftentimes disappointment can be a springboard to something completely new or different that can have a beneficial and long-lasting effect on your life.
- For a start, if there are no places available for you in the UK, have you considered studying abroad? Would you consider an international education? If you don't want to wait another year to begin your life, check out the Study Overseas site.
This website is jam packed with free information and advice for students thinking about studying abroad and carries details of hundreds of universities and colleges recruiting international students right now. It also has a database of what it considers to be "the best articles" from leading journals on international education, together with online brochures to help you garner more information.

- If you don't want to go abroad, what about online universities? If you are not willing to defer another year, visit something like www.unixl.com, which gives useful information of the universities of England offering online degrees. Although it isn't such a comprehensive guide as the previous one, it is still a very useful help to available options right now.
- University of life - OK - I give up - it's not real uni, but have you considered that there are other avenues of learning that can be as equally valuable as a degree in terms of producing a life enhancing income? What do I mean by that?
Take, for instance, something like the internet. This is a science all in its own class and offers enough learning to keep the brain buzzing for years on end. There are many mentoring programmes available throughout the internet (some even have 'University' in their title!) that will teach you many skills and strategies to build a successful business to finance any activity you desire. Although it won't give you a traditional university education - it's an incredibly useful way to mind the gap year and even finance your education further along the line.
