Ahahahaha you taxing dodging student scumbag
Revenge is sweet!

I'm not sure which courses you can fit into 2 years, a proper course (engineering) you could probably get away with doing it like that, but it would be hard and if studying at a uni then you'd have issues with things clashing.

Go do sociology or something, pretty sure you could get one of those squared away over a weekend or so (including a couple of nights on the p*ss and a lie-in to recover)

I would have thought any proper degree is a minimum 3 years? You can do foundation degrees which are 2 years I believe.

You may as well do one that is useful and that you will enjoy. If you don't enjoy it you will just get a shut grade.

There plenty of people out there with degrees that will be looking at the same jobs... The more useful the degree and higher the grade the better you will be favoured.

ok , even if i hate it i'll work my **** off to pass trust me ive done similar before

weirdly the usefulness of degree and high grade are not important (as long as i pass) its just a job requirement that i have relevent real world skills for at present

You can get a 3rd by spelling you name right... I still don't think there's a way to get an Hons degree in less than 3 years full time.

BA Irish Studies, University of Liverpool?

Some modules are a practical review of Ireland's brewing culture

You're doing a degree for all the wrong reasons mate.

Firstly the longer the degree the longer you're a student bum living it up (plenty time to grow old and pay income tax later).

Secondly, pick tactically. Find out which uni has the highest number of fittys and the best nights, then apply there. Heard gd things about Liverpool uni.

The degree at the end is just a bonus

Might be worth checking with the company if the degree an absolute requirement... it might be a way of ensuring that some of the candidates skills are at a certain level. Occasionally, they might accept "life experience" in place of that, if the skills can be demonstrated through other methods.

Realistically though, you're probably looking at a minimum of 2 years for a degree unless you can convince the university that you already meet the requirements to bypass modules.
