Talk:Students

Early books in the Discworld cycle talk about "thaumaturgists" and lowly "conjurors", whose ranks are filled with people who either fail to make the entrance requirements for Unseen University or who fail thair wizardry exams.

As these would appear to be "lesser" qualifications than a degree, if British practice is followed, thse weould neither be taught at nor conferred by a university. In Britain, there are lowlier establishments called F.E. Colleges or Tech Colleges which would handle intermediate qualifications standing between those gained on school-leaving and university level. (ie, the NVQ, which despite legend does not stand for Not Very Qualifed.)

Would Ankh-Morpork have its own equivalent of a Tech College somewhere? --AgProv 15:51, 4 May 2007 (CEST)

Actually I think based on a close reading of The Truth, I can now answer my own question.

William de Worde has a working office which is just above the premises of the Guild of Conjurors. He is therefore privy to their training sessions...--AgProv 13:02, 17 May 2007 (CEST)
