had to apply via the gttr website, www.gttr.ac.uk i think
really similar to ucas but for teacher-training type courses. so had to apply there, put in all my info like exam results, write another personal statement, get 2 referees and their addresses (only the first one is normally used though) and pick my top 4 universities in order.
pay a £20 application fee then they send your application to uni's in order, so if your application to your first choice fails it gets sent to the second etc.
was a bit of a pain in the arse to do the whole ucas type application again but i dont think im ready to leave uni yet, and my grades arent really high enough to be job hunting in the current economic climate (2.2 at best, maybe even 3rd), so i went for the pgce, have really warmed to the idea now though.

oh yeah and im in my 3rd year at york doing maths
staying on for a 4th year pgce, which is basically teacher training (1 year long course then im qualified to teach maths to gcse&a-level)
also i get a 9k bursary while i do the course next year, and then a 5k 'golden hello' at the end of my first full year in work after getting the qualification.
got my interview for the pgce course next tuesday, im pretty hopeful as its a continuation at the same university. also have already signed myself up for a house next year so i hope i get in

Doing a distance learning Msc surveying at Northumbria. I work full time, so have to do it in my own time. My company pay for it though so no problems with funding.
My advice for anyone going into uni in september, is to earn as much dough as you possibly can before you start. You don't want to start off in debt, it's an extra worry you don't need.
