I don't want to put a downer on this forum after hearing that Wannabe is finally getting his 20D but I need to ramble on about something for a minute

I currently study Computer Arts at Abertay, Dundee and while it is a good course, it revolves around games a little too much for my liking. It feels like imagery is simply an afterthought to gameplay, I am not into games at all and imagery is my passion so I feel I need to look for another course.

Here's where my problem starts... in Scotland you get funding for 4 years, I have studied 2 at my current Uni. I can apply for direct entry in second year studying Photography at Edinburgh College of Art which would mean another 3 years studying, but only another 2 years funding.

I was hoping to simply save and pay for my final year on my own but I found out today that they will only fund me for the 3rd and 4th years.

And I can't afford to fund myself next year...

Doesn't it make more sense to give me the two years funding NOW?! Nooooooooooo

So i'm ****ed!
