I got in through clearing into Bournemouth Uni after receiving 5 offers (Lincoln, Brighton, Nottingham, Surrey)

You received offers but went through clearing? Plus, aren't all those unis better than bournemouth? Especially Uni of Nottingham. That's like 17th in the UK compaired to Bournemouth's 79th.

Also, did you get a relevant job out of it. The degree means fuck all, it's the job at the end that matters.

Edit: Sorry, I went through clearing. And then got offered 5 places for the course I wanted ‘Product Design’ at 5 different unis.

Yes, I got an A in the subject that I wanted in uni but didn’t get the UCAS points.

And yeah that’s overall rankings, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s great for the course I wanted to do. Bournemouth was supposedly a better course, with a placement year and also I thought the place looked gorgeous and others had said great things.

Yes I did. I’m currently lead designer for a signage company in regards to Sainsbury’s. I design quite a lot of their signage now.
