    Start by going on the UCAS website, that lists virtually every degree course on offer and has links to all the universities and colleges in their system. Don't take the universities publicity at face value, they are put together like estate agents sales particulars or holiday brochures; check out student union websites for the customers' views.
    Good luck.

    I went to Trinity, but to do Countryside Management. Can recommend the college, really great place. Not many students, around 1200 when I was there, but you get to know other sudents and tutors well.

    Easy access to Pembrokeshire for climbing and to the Brecon Beacons for walking/running/caving.

    Although don't do what I did and confuse Camarthen for Caernarfon. D'oh!
    He's big and he's good.

    Hello,

    My grandson wants get enrolled into the SOU Academic Programs (by Southern Oregon University, can't find the official link to it now). Does anyone have any experience with their Outdoor Adventure Leadership degree program? I'm at a loss, because I wanted to hire a professional coach for him (to prepare for a marathon) and I don't know if it's worth it now. I need to save some money to help him with his tuition as well.
