Henry's going to Manchester university

[livejournal.com profile] exalted_mugwump just got his A-level results.

A,C,C. (maths, further maths, physics) Problem, he needed A,B,B for his first choice university. However, acting on a tip that someone gave him several months ago, he immediately phoned Manchester (his first choice university) on his moblie. On the fifth attempt, he got through and asked if they still wanted him. They said yes!

I don't know who that person was, but I owe them a mega vote of thanks.

Just read your comment below - hadn't heard about the merger. Must read my alumnus mag more often. It was only while I was there that UMIST split from Owens in the first place and got permission to award its own degrees. Before that it was officially the science and technology department (hence the name), and the students actually graduated from Owens.
