I'm not sure that it's such a bad idea. There is no reason why it should not lead to a degree, although it would take 5 years to get to an Honours degree. You would need to be committed (
) as I guess that you would need one day, one evening and some weekends contact time, plus of course all the coursework. This could tie in with what has been discussed on other threads, about eiter having a placement year or a post-degree professional qualification year - really you're just doing it in a different order.
There used to be parallels - I myself left school at 16, wandered into the ONC/HNC day-release route then slithered on to a part time degree course (day release and an evening) at a poly (I'm not sure if anyone does that any more). It takes a long long time though... But I reckon it was about the best way of doing it. But then I would, wouldn't I?
Quite a few distance learning courses are springing up. I@m not too sure about these as a rule though.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
