I'm doing one at the moment it's ok. If they let you transfer credits you might be able to get away without doing the terrible first "required" module. My only problem with the courses they offer are mostly biology based, with a few physics and then very few chemistry. Which is annoying as I want to do chemistry.
I want to do the Astronomy and planet science pathway. I think I will have to do the basic science module though as I haven't studied science since GCSE level (though I was good at it and have always maintained an interest in science).
My BA(Hons) is in History & Politics so completely unrelated, but I did have some wild credits which I used to study computer programming, which was very maths heavy so I'm hoping they might take that into consideration and let me skip one or both of the required maths modules that make up the remainder of level 1.
