DD at Bird and classes are shared with degree and diploma students. The course is exactly the same apart from 1 - 2 hours a week where they do different written work - I also think degree have a few more assignments to write in their own time. It is just some funding suits people better.

Well done to those that have now been offered places. It is such a stressful time. If anyone is looking for accommodation for Bird my DD and two friends have reserved a 4 double bedroom flat 7 minute walk from the college (on the High Street) with a lounge, 2 bathrooms and kitchen for next training ...

We're also waiting on bird, for degree reserve list, I'm desperate to call to find out where on the list dd is, but original letter said we would not hear from them until after the 30th May. presuming that's when all foundation students have until they confirm their place if offered 1.

There's still one more audition day for BIrd, so they may be holding out until after that to send the final advices ? I know the Bird foundation students have their Bird audition this Thursday and find out on 25th May so the reserve list will move around then as some of the foundation students get ...

My DD has the funding recall audition at Urdang this weekend. We paid the additional £75 to be considered for a scholarship, does anyone know how many of these are awarded? Also, how many dancers go through this funding audition and are offered no financial support? My DD was offered a place and di...

I'm guessing you can't get the maintenance loan to help with accommodation? Hi Marissa The only help you can get is Housing Benefit and, depending on where the foundation course is based, the local council can be a nightmare to get it from Others have spoken about it on the forum if you search back...

Update everyone - my daughter received an offer today from Performers College for their one-year Pre-Vocational course. I am very proud of her, but this unfortunately means that she cannot go, as we do not have that sort of money to pay for this course and I don't think there are any other funding ...

Congrats to everyone. Feeling a bit worried now if people are already being offered funding. Our letter says unfunded Diploma place which we accepted, and they will be putting DD on the reserve list for funding. Im hoping the reserve funding list is not too long! Dont think the colleges find out wh...

Does anyone know if you get a teaching qualification say in Modern if you are then classed as a fully qualified dance teacher and can teach all subjects but only do ISTD exams in the subject your DDE is in eg, modern, tap or ballet ? DD looking at taking her DDE (no longer DDI first) at Bird but as ...

Still nothing this week! Though DS a little more chilled as he got a GSA offer at the recall[/quote]

Thats amazing news well done x

Well done. You can phone and ask where you are on the list which is quite helpful Just to say we counted down the days to be able to find out where DD was on the list but you still dont really get told anything. All we were told was that in previous years people in her position had been offered a p...

There were people being offered funding even during the first week of the course as I suppose people may have dropped out.

Does anyone know anything about converting a MT diploma to a degree specifically at Bird? My DD is 16 and very excited to have just been offered a place on the diploma course . Our worry is not having A levels as back up or being able to do the degree course but on the website it says you can do an...
