    Hi all,
    I am hoping I can get some advice on making a decision. I'm considering going back to college as a mature student (36) after being away from higher education for 14 years. I completed a 2-year Level 6 Engineering programme in 2002. Now, I got an offer on my 4th choice: Level 7 Engineering- first year, which I am yet to accept. I also applied for advanced entry into year 2 of a level 6 Engineering programme, and luckily I got an offer directly from the college. Now I am confused on which to accept. Considering the fact that I have been away from higher education for a long time, will it be wise for me to start the level 7 from year one, or go for the advanced entry (year 2) of the Level 6 programme? My intention is to continue my studies till Honours/Masters level in the future.

    Thanks.
