![]() ![]() Taking any ancient or modern foreign language GCSE counts towards the languages part of the EBacc. 3 single sciences at GCSE – pupils choose 3 subjects from biology, chemistry, physics and computer science.GCSE combined science – pupils take 2 GCSEs that cover the 3 main sciences, biology, chemistry and physics.Pupils need to take one of the following options: To count towards the English part of the EBacc, pupils need to take both English literature and English language GCSE exams. Perhaps overall forensics or occupational psychology will end up being better.The EBacc is a set of subjects at GCSE that keeps young people’s options open for further study and future careers. That's just my musings after looking at the NHS long term plan. So, when I graduate the Masters apprenticeship, the doctorate may not even be funded anymore by the NHS and I don't know what I'd do with a doctorate in psychology if not work in the NHS as a clinical psychologist if that makes sense. So ultimately I don't know whether I would want to leave uni and go back in October to do my replacement level 2 module for the First, whilst working in a psychological/wellbeing/mental health role, which I will have to do anyway when I finish Third year (with the aim of getting experience to apply for those much-coveted AP jobs), or whether to be happy with my Upper 2:1 and apply for a masters degree apprenticeship doing something psychology-based, which ultimately will then be a route into the Doctorate anyway.ĪND THEN!! A note on that: The NHS long term plan does not include clinical psychologists. (I might want to apply for the doctorate, if I don't choose to do forensic psychology), and looking at the BPS alternative handbook it's totally fine to have a 2:1, sure the acceptance rate is a bit lower than those with a First but it's not all bad. Only thing is, from what I have seen, getting an Upper 2:1 is actually not going to be much of a barrier to work. So, wait for my final year results then decide on whether or not to replace that module for a First. I spoke to student services and they said I can replace a level 2 module so I can improve my classification, and I can do this retrospectively. Thank you so much for your response, that means I wouldn't get a First right even with distinction? Needs to be 660 doesn't it?Īnd on that 2:1, would this be Upper 2:1? That's what I have been predicted. Under the old rules, the student would have got a 2:1. This is in the first / 2:1 borderline region under the new rules, so the Distinction at level 3 pushes that student up to an overall first. Instead, there is a new borderline rule, where someone in the top 60 points of each bracket below first is awarded the classification above if they have 60 credits at level 3 at or above the higher classification.Ī student studying all 60 credit modules, scoring Pass 3 and Pass 2 at level 2, then Pass 2 and Distinction at level 3 would have 660 points. However, the old quality assurance check where you cannot get a higher result than your highest 60 credits at level 3 is abolished. The same basic approach is used as before - for students offering 120 credits at each of levels 1, 2 and 3, you add together each level 2 score multiplied by the number of credits and each level 3 score multiplied by twice the number of credits. As some may already have seen, the OU is changing the way honours degree classification is calculated for degrees awarded from 1 March 2023.
