Welcome to the group! I'd like everyone to introduce yourselves, let us know a little about yourselves, as I am sure this will become quite a diverse group, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

My name is Jo, I'm 33, married with 3 kids (9,6 and 6 months)

I am educated to A level standard, although college was a parental push, and I would have preferred at the time to go straight into the workforce. I guess my lack of motivation for Uni after this stayed with me for a while, as its only recently i've thought of retraining and gaining a degree, purely for myself.

I'm looking forward to studying however, i'm getting a little nervous about my capability to remember and process information quickly, as I've been on maternity leave for the last 8 months!

Hope to get to know everyone throughout the journey!

Jo

Hello My name is Neil 38 yrs old living in Devon. After leaving school in 1990 I have decided to prove to myself I can do a degree. I am just about to start a Q65 bachelors in Engineering. Would love to hear from others either doing a degree or studying engineering or indeed if you live in the South West.

Good luck everyone, you can do it!

Cheers for now

Neil
