Does ACR cache use all allocated space regardless?
March 02, 2013, 12:17:00 PM »
I have set Camera Raw to use 65GB. That done, I was surprised that my separate scratch disk that holds this cache actually has used all 65 GB with 5140kb .dat files.
How can I check if this usage should be as large?

This is as designed. If you tell the cache to be 65GBs, it'll keep writing cache until it reaches 65GBs at which point when new cache is written, the oldest cache is deleted to keep the max of 65GB. If you have more free space, you might consider upping the limit.

I have not paid much attention to the ACR cache, so this question made me curious. Curious enough to do some research and some testing.
Google research led to a lot of bad info, mostly due to confusion between the Bridge cache, the Photoshop cache, the Lightroom cache. A lot of "experts" seem to think the cache contains previews. I don't think that's true.
I finally found this site:
That link contains the following quote, "The early part of the process includes decoding, decompressing, linearizing, hot pixel filtering, and demosaicing an image. The results of this are the same each time, so for this reason, its perfectly legitimate to use a cached version of this as the basis for a preview."
That makes good sense, but the key words there are "as a BASIS for a preview." The actual preview you see in ACR has to have the ACR defaults applied. At a minimum, the true preview has to have a camera profile applied.
My first simple test was to bang away in ACR with adjustments on a single raw file. No matter what you do in ACR, the ACR cache file never changes after its initial creation. Seems to support the above claim that the cache file contains only the "basis." Also, note that if you open a tif or jpeg in ACR, no ACR cache file is created (so where does the ACR preview come from?)
My next test was to purge the cache, then open 8 raw files in ACR and look at the sizes of the cache files. The files were from a Canon 5D2 (5616x3744 pixel images). They cache files varied from 246kb to 107kb. Correlating the cache files to the images, it appears the differences are due to the level of detail in the images. Lower detail equals lower cache file size. So, it appears there is some kind of compression going on. Just like with jpegs, lower detail equals greater compression and smaller file size.
Then I purged the cache and loaded 8 images into ACR again, timing the result with a stopwatch. It took 5 seconds for all the thumbs to appear in ACR and for all the yellow triangle explanation marks to go off. Then I simply did it again with the previous cache in place. This time it took 4 seconds.
Even given a generous degree of error due to such a small sample and manual stopwatch timing, that's not much savings. And given that most of the time you are opening one image at a time, the time saved by the cache is a small fraction of a second. So, my conclusion is that the ACR cache is of very little value. Why waste several gigabytes of disk space on it?
But then a great mystery occurred. In previous tests I opened 8 images at a time by selecting them in Bridge and opening in camera raw. I purged the cache again and opened some of these same images one at a time. When opened one at a time, the cache file created is larger than when opened in a batch. A lot larger. An average of 2.6 times larger, with little variation in that ratio. And there is more mystery. When opening a batch of images, the cache for the first image is the same size as when it's opened alone. Only the 2nd through the last images get smaller cache files than when opened alone.
I can't figure out that mystery. Would appreciate someone else doing the test to confirm.
All this is on Win7 64bit with CS6 and ACR 7.1.

The other option you can look into, assuming you're not opposed to DNG is the new Fast Load Data option. Here a similar approach to speed up previews in Develop exist but that data resides inside your DNG's and there's no rolling cache (no limit to set or cache data to eventually lose). I've set the ACR cache as low as possible. Also, if you travel with your images, the ACR cache would in theory need to travel with them as well so you'd have to come up with a means to sync the data on differing drives, which isn't an issue with DNG.

Andrew makes a good observation about the new "fast load" option of DNG. If you create DNGs with fast load data, NO cache files are created when you open them in ACR. And it appears that ACR is slightly faster preparing DNG fast load files than other raw files with cache data. Most likely because ACR does not have to do the extra I/O to read the cache file.
However, that speed advantage is still very small, while the increase in disk usage is significant.
I tested a batch of 20 random raw files, converting them to DNG both with and without the fast load option. The fast load data added an average of 387kb per file. That's a significant chuck of disk, especially when you have thousands or tens of thousands raw files.
Opening the DNG files one at a time in ACR, I can't see any speed difference between "fast load" DNG files and normal files (cached or not cached). I'm sure it's there, but somewhere around 0.2 of a second, so virtually invisible.
It takes my system about 5 seconds to open the entire batch of 20 "fast load" files. It takes 6 to 7 seconds to open the same 20 "no fast load" files when they have no existing cache. Again, not a significant advantage.
I'm not in the habit of opening large numbers of raw files in ACR. I know some people like to do that so they can adjust one file and "sync" all the others. I find it easier to open and adjust just one file, then use Bridge to copy those adjustments to multiple files.
I suspect that the whole concept and logic of the ACR cache is a legacy from the time when we had very slow, single core processors. Saving CPU time was far more important back then than it is now. But with current technology, I'd argue that the "best practice" is to avoid DNG "fast load", and set the ACR cache to the minimum 1GB. It's unfortunate that you can't turn the ACR cache completely off.

Gay Community Gets Support From 10 Stars Sounding Off on LGBT Rights
Gay rights has always been a hot topic of conversation. From Capitol Hill to the local beauty shop, it seems like everyone has an opinion on same-sex marriage and the like. Even in the music industry, artists are speaking out and offering their opinions on what equality for the LGBT community could mean for society and its evolution.

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso said the burst tyre incidents during the second practice at Spa would require some more analysis ahead of Sunday's race.
While the Spaniard expressed concern about the incident, he did not think there was a specific problem with the tyres. Rather, he put it to journalists that external sources were probably the cause of Friday's incidents.
"I don't think it's a similar problem to what we saw in Silverstone, maybe more of a random set of circumstances, but all the same it needs careful analysis," said Alonso, who had a rear right puncture at around turn 14.
Pirelli's motorsport head Paul Hembery echoed similar sentiments and even suggested that debris could have contributed to some of the problems experienced during that session.
"On the Ferrari there are two quite clear holes through the top of the tread. So we have to go and look at the track later to see what is between turns 13 and 15," said Hembery.
It is generally acknowledged that any tyre failure at the Spa circuit could be rather catastrophic, which is why authorities want to get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible.
"There is clearly something but I cannot tell you what it is," said Hembery.
"It is from external sources. It is a worry for the sport because we have to go out and find what it is. We will try our very best to identify it and give us an indication of what is causing it," added Hembery.

Recipe by Melt Organic Buttery Spread
"Thin strips of pork tenderloin are marinated in garlic, soy sauce, and fish sauce, and then grilled and served with a spicy sweet and sour dipping sauce."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/3 cup
granulated sugar
1/4 cup
white vinegar
1/4 cup
fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons
fish sauce
garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon
red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons
Melt® Organic Buttery Spread
2 tablespoons
low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon
brown sugar
garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon
2 (1 pound)
pork tenderloins, trimmed all visible fat, and cut into 3-by-1/4-inch strips
1/2 cup
lightly packed fresh cilantro
This is extremely good and very easy. I used 6 chicken breasts which I cut into chunks and marinated, and it worked very well with the chicken. Also, I didn't have the buttery spread so I substituted some canola oil. It's a wonderful, light recipe which I can't wait to make again!
My husband made this for dinner tonight and it was PHENOMENAL. I think it's the best pork I've ever eaten. I think the servings are off though, as we only had 3 servings (each serving about 3 chunks of meat) after trimming the fat. I would recommend getting more than 2 lbs of tenderloins unless you're feeding 3 or less. Also, we served it with grilled zucchini, onion & tomato instead of rice - makes for a nice healthy meal.

This recipe is amazingly delicious! I used 1 tbsp of olive oil instead of Melt® Organic Buttery Spread for the porc and marinated the tenderloin in a ziploc for over 24 hours. The marinade was incredible. I prepared the sauce but honestly, the tenderloin was great without it. I did not skewer the tenderloin either. I grilled it whole, 7 minutes to sear the first side, over direct, medium heat (keeping the grill covered), then 6 minutes on the second side. Finally, turn off the heat, keep the lid closed, and let the tenderloin coast for 5 more minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 145° to 150°F.
The sauce in particular was very good. I just sauteed the pork in a pan because I don't have a grill, but it still turned out very well.
this was very tasty.. i used it for the marinade on 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs.. can't wait for pork to go on sale again and try the recipe in it's full entirety.. i did leave out the brown sugar and used some squeezable butter for the buttery spread.. but followed everything else.. ty for the recipe
My family raved about this meal. The sauce is one of the best I've had. I used olive oil in the marinade but that is the only change I made.
The marinade for the pork was delicious. I don't have a grill so I stir fried the pork after marinating it and a 2 lb tenderloin was gone by the end of the night.
Amazing recipe! Kids loved it too! Can't wait to make it again

CARROLL — One year ago, an early December matchup in the Creston gym ended with a talented Carroll Kuemper Catholic girls team escaping with a 51-50 victory over the Panthers.
On Tuesday night, the outcome was nearly identical as the Panthers battled on even terms until the very end in a 48-46 Knight victory on the Kuemper court.
"It was a game the girls deserved to win," said Creston coach Larry McNutt. "The girls played hard. We held them to 18 points in the second half. We just needed to make a few more free throws."
This year, Kuemper starts a much younger lineup featuring three sophomores, a junior and 5-10 senior guard Lexi Albrecht, headed to Iowa State as a preferred walk-on.
But it was a Creston sophomore guard who had the hot hand early, as Brenna Baker sank two of her five 3-pointers in the first quarter to help the Panthers take a 14-11 lead after one period.
Halftime deficit
Creston hit a scoring drought in the second period, just as key senior defender Brianna Maitlen picked up her third foul with :18 left in the half. Kuemper went into the break leading 39-33 after a 19-11 quarter.
Baker and Kuemper sophomore Kierstyn Bauer each had three 3-pointers in the opening two stanzas. However, Creston's 3-of-7 shooting at the free throw line was a forerunner of problems to come in that area.
Bauer hit her fourth 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter as Kuemper maintained a 39-33 advantage.
Frank on boards
A rebound bucket by Zaidy Frank, who finished with 10 points and 17 rebounds, closed it to 39-37 early in the final period. Free throws by Baker and Chelcee Downing pulled the Panthers even with 4:22 left.
Baker's fifth 3-pointer gave Creston its final lead of the night, 42-41, with 3:15 remaining. The sophomore point guard finished 5-of-6 from 3-point range.
Downing hit another free throw to keep it knotted at 43-43 with 2:35 left. Then with only 1:13 left and the Panthers trailing by one (47-46), the teams traded turnovers.
The Panthers then missed a 15-footer and Albrecht converted a free throw on an ensuing Creston foul. That made it 48-46 with :34 left.
Final possession
Creston came up with possession with 28 seconds left on Albrecht's miss of the second attempt, and McNutt called a timeout.
"We wanted to get Natalie the ball and let her drive to the basket," McNutt said. "With their size, it was tough to get a shot inside. They were taking away layups with fouls, and I don't know how many times we made one of two. That's trading two points for one."
Creston missed at the 15-second mark, and was unable to get a foul in the final seconds to stop the clock.
Creston finished 11-of-24 at the line, while Kuemper was 4-13.
Baker finished with a game-high 19 points and led the team with four assists.
"Brenna has been shooting the ball better," McNutt said. "She made some open shots. We were looking for her in the fourth quarter."
McNutt praised the hustle of Frank, giving up six or seven inches inside against the taller Knights while grabbing eight offensive rebounds and another nine on the defensive end. She was 4-of-9 shooting in a 10-point night.
But overall it was not an efficient night from the field for Creston, either, shooting 10-of-45 from two-point range for 22 percent.
Albrecht, hounded by Mostek all night, ended with 17 points to lead the Knights, improving to 3-1. Creston, now 2-3, travels to Glenwood Friday night.

Our Housing and Communities Pathway Degree is an inter-disciplinary programme and is therefore suitable for students who are currently studying a range of subjects at advanced level, including sociology, politics, geography, philosophy and ethics, history and media studies. The programme is located in a vibrant research department and is led by academics who are specialists in the field of housing. In addition to specialist inputs on housing issues during your Housing and Communities Pathway Degree, you will also have the opportunity to take modules provided by experts in a range of related fields such as:
Your degree programme will provide you with opportunities both to build upon your specialism and also to engage with highly complementary areas of study.
Placement opportunities
Housing and Communities Pathway students will undertake a specialist placement during their degree programme. However, it is possible for you to gain further experiences if you wish, and there are many opportunities to do so. We also have our own specialist internship and careers advisor (see the 'Employability' tab on the main page) who provide students with a wide range of advice, support and contacts for work experience, placements and internships.
The Department in which the Housing and Communities Pathway Degree is taught, is both friendly and supportive and students are encouraged to become involved in the work of the Institute and the University more broadly. There is a staff–student committee which provides a forum for regular meetings and discussion between staff and students. We also have an active Social Policy Student Society who arrange events, talks and debates. The Institute also organises and funds students events: for example, our students recently visited London and the Houses of Parliament. Each student is also provided with a personal tutor, whom they meet on a regular basis and with whom they review their academic and broader developmental progress. The Department also provides a welfare tutoring system, for students who may need specialist support. The Department places an emphasis upon ensuring that students benefit from studying in a vibrant research environment. Consequently, there is a carefully crafted relationship between research activity in the department, module content and teaching, providing students with core skills in both utilising and undertaking research.
In addition to your specialist Housing placement, further opportunities for placements and paid work are available. Our Internship and Careers Officers meet with students on a regular basis to share information about work opportunities. The availability of these opportunities means that students on the Housing and Communities Pathway Degree are able to build up an excellent portfolio of experiences and contacts which have proved to be very valuable when students apply for jobs upon completion of their degree. The Institute also places a premium upon helping students to develop a wide range of transferrable skills. So, for example, encouraging and supporting the development of skills such as group and teamwork, project work, presentations, the production of briefing papers and policy reports are systematically woven into the structure and processes of your Housing and Communities Pathway Degree.
Modules available within your Housing and Communities Pathway Degree will enable you to acquire a range of skills which are valued by employers, including: critical enquiry; analytical skills; problem solving; research competencies; workload planning and management; convening working parties; team working; presentations; writing policy reports and producing briefing papers. You will also be able to choose optional modules such as the Personal Skills Award, which can provide you with the opportunity to develop further employment specific skills, for example, in leadership and project management. Optional modules are also available which provide opportunities to visit organisations and agencies and to gain a wide variety of placement experiences.
Most people will not have previously studied social policy on a formal basis, nor had the opportunity to specialise in housing during their advanced level studies. The first year of your programme is designed to help you find your feet and get up to speed with the subjects through the study of some of the main relevant disciplines and contextual material. Core first year modules studied include: Introduction to Social Policy, Social Issues, and Research Methods. You can also choose a further three modules from a range of subject areas such as Urban studies, Politics, Sociology, Psychology and Planning. Taken together, your core and optional modules will help you begin the process of familiarising yourself with your housing specialism as well as enabling you to develop a good understanding of the broader context of housing policy.
Your second year core courses include Social Theory, and Social Research. Social Theory will help you to develop a deeper appreciation of how many of the issues and debates within the field of housing are formed, framed and negotiated. In your social research module you will focus upon gaining research skills for your third-year research based dissertation which will take a focus upon a housing question or issue of your choice. In addition, you will also undertake a specialist housing module in which you will study a wide range of contemporary housing issues and debates. You will also continue to have opportunities to tailor your degree to reflect your developing skills and interests through a range of complementary specialist module choices, for example:
In your second year you can also choose to study modules from other departments if you wish to such as Urban Studies, Politics or Sociology, providing you with opportunities to tailor your degree around your personal interests.
The core courses in your third year are:
In the Prospects module, as a member of a working group you will be able to undertake a project on a housing policy issue of your choice, you will produce a briefing paper, a Wiki, a policy report and you will also learn how to form and constitute a working party, engage in team work and develop further important transferrable skills. In the dissertation module you will undertake an in depth research-based dissertation, centred on a housing question or issue of your choice, supported by a specialist academic supervisor. Your dissertation is worth around a third of your final-year marks and your ability to choose a housing topic or issue which particularly interests or inspires you, will provide you with an excellent opportunity to enhance your marks in your final year.
For the remainder of your modules you can choose from a range of specialist options, examples would include:
You can also choose to study modules from other departments to reflect specific interests which you have developed over the course of your programme and to broaden your understanding of the social and political context of housing issues and policies.
The optional modules listed on the website for this programme may unfortunately occasionally be subject to change. As you will appreciate key members of staff may leave the University and this necessitates a review of the modules that are offered. Where the module is no longer available we will let you know as soon as we can and help you make other choices.

Apply through UCAS at www.ucas.com Learn more about applying
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) is a UK organisation responsible for managing applications to university and college. UK, EU and international students applying for most undergraduate degree courses in the UK will need to apply through UCAS.
You submit an application via the UCAS website with a list of up to five courses. All choices are confidential during the application process so universities and colleges considering an application cannot see your other choices. Applications must be completed by mid-January of the year that you wish to start university.
You can monitor the progress of your application using the UCAS Apply system.
Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
Social Policy lectures take many different forms, some may be talks followed by a workshop, others are combined with small group exercises, group discussions, seminars, project or placement work.
As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts. From the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner. We want you to be challenged and will encourage you to think for yourself.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, from scheduled teaching in lectures and small group tutorials, to self-study and peer group learning (for example preparing and delivering presentations with your classmates).
To begin with you may find this way of working challenging, but rest assured that we'll enable you to make this transition. You will have access to a comprehensive support system that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues, and a formal transition reviewduring your first year to check on your progress and offer you help for any particular areas where you need support.
Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the centre's aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from drop-in sessions with support with mathematics and statistics based problems provided by experienced mathematicians, to workshops on a range of topics including note taking, reading, writing and presentation skills.
Employers value our graduates on the basis of our reputation for academic excellence and our student's considerable suite of skills and experiences gained over the course of their degree programme, hence our graduates are highly employable. Supporting our students in acquiring skills and experiences to enhance their employability is a key priority for us and is reflected in the way that we structure our academic programmes.
Your specialist observational placement forms an integral part of your Housing and Communities Pathway degree and there are a range of interesting opportunities available to you. Your internship will provide you with the opportunity to spend a dedicated block of time with a organisation or agency and so will provide you with an excellent means of developing a vivid and tangible sense of the connections between your academic studies and the world of employment. In addition to your placement, there are further options through which you can develop and broaden your experiences, helping you to build an excellent portfolio over the course of your degree programme. In addition, your various experiences will also provide you with opportunities to network and develop contacts, which can form valuable resources both during and upon completion of your degree. Systematic assessment and review of your progress is firmly built into your Housing and Communities Pathway degree through our tutoring system.
Graduate Internship case study: Amy Davenport, Health Exchange (2014)
Your skill-set, talents and experiences which you bring with you to your Housing and Communities Pathway Degree are valuable resources and a baseline upon which we will build over the duration of your degree. A key source of support in that process is the tutoring system, which offers one-to-one tutoring across all three years of your programme, providing you with a personal and systematic approach to reviewing your progress, achievements and aspirations. You can also access the Academic Skills Centre that do focussed one-to-one and group workshop sessions to enable you to develop your wider academic skills. Over the course of your degree programme a wide range of opportunities for developing and enhancing your skill-set, experiences and so your employability will be available to you, examples of which are given below.
You may wish to complement or build upon the experiences gained during your specialist observational placement, by undertaking a further optional agency placement. Agency placement experiences are systematically integrated into the broader structure of an academic module, thus providing you with critically informed and animated insights into the links between your academic work and the work of employers. Placements can be valuable in that they can thus provide you with a further gateway through which you can gain a wide range of employment relevant experiences such as developing insights into what happens when an issue emerges within an agency and how the issue unfolds, is negotiated and managed. Undertaking an agency placement in addition to an internship can also further contribute to developing your sense of self-confidence and competencies in an agency setting.
You may be interested in gaining further, perhaps complementary internship experience over the course of your Housing and Communities Pathway Degree. If you think that this option could be of interest to you, then there are a range of resources and support available which can facilitate you. For example, in addition to our dedicated Careers Advisor, we also have a specialist Internship Officer located in the School of Social Policy, who works with and supports students in securing internship opportunities. In addition to structured inputs into the programme, our Internship Officer also has an active relationship with our student Social Policy Society, arranging events, workshops and talks in collaboration with our students.
If you are interested in gaining work experience over the course of your Housing amd Communities Pathway Degree, our specialist careers and employability advisor who holds regular surgeries, several days each week in the building in which we are based, will be able to provide you with support, advice and information about the many employers who are keen to offer opportunities to our undergraduates. The Guild also has a facility called Jobzonewhich provides a wide and interesting range of opportunities for students. In addition, if you want to gain work experience in an area which is interesting or inspires you, but perhaps is low paid or unpaid, the University has a range of bursaries available which can enable you to do this.
Volunteering is a fantastic way to demonstrate your commitment to civic engagement, develop your employability skills, gain crucial work experience, network and meet new people. We actively encourage our students to gain experiences in voluntary agencies, both through our modules as well as through our links to the Student Volunteering Service, who provide our students with access to a wide range of experiences both here in the UK and abroad.
Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with the subject and find things out for yourself. We will enable you to make this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham.
You'll be assessed in a variety of ways, and these may be different with each module that you take. You will be assessed through coursework which may take the form of essays, group and individual presentations, laboratory-based work (depending on your chosen degree) and formal exams.
During your first year you will undergo a formal 'transition' review to see how you are getting on and if there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to the personal tutor who is based in your school or department and can help with any academic issues you encounter.
At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that particular programme of study. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done. You'll be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you should fail an exam we will ensure that particularly detailed feedback is made available to enable you to learn for the future.
We use a wide range of teaching methods and assessments, including a range of e-Learning mediums such as Canvas, Wikis and podcasting; workshops, presentations, seminars, classes, briefing papers, policy reports, project work and essays. A typical assessment for modules is 50% coursework and 50% examination. Some modules are 100% coursework. Students are able to choose some modules according to their personal strengths and preferences both in relation to subject matter and assessment methods. Your third-year dissertation, which is research-based, is supervised by an academic tutor. All students have the support of their own personal tutor throughout their degree, and access to welfare tutors if they have specific support needs.
Preparation for your career should be one of the first things you think about as you start university. Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Birmingham degree, our Careers Network can help you achieve your goal.
Our unique careers guidance service is tailored to your academic subject area, offering a specialised team (in each of the five academic colleges) who can give you expert advice. Our team source exclusive work experience opportunities to help you stand out amongst the competition, with mentoring, global internships and placements available to you. Once you have a career in your sights, one-to-one support with CV's and job applications will help give you the edge. In addition, our employer-endorsed award-winning Personal Skills Award (PSA) recognises your extra-curricular activities, and provides an accredited employability programme designed to improve your career prospects.
We also offer voluntary work which complements your studies by helping you gain practical experiences in occupational settings while contributing back to society. This can bring new skills that will be useful throughout your future and can make a positive impact on your learning whilst at university. Volunteering enables you to develop skills such as communication, interpersonal skills, teamwork, self-confidence and self-discipline, all of which can be transferred into your studies.
Your Birmingham degree is evidence of your ability to succeed in a demanding academic environment. Employers target Birmingham students for their drive, diversity, communication and problem-solving skills, their team-working abilities and cultural awareness, and our graduate employment statistics have continued to climb at a rate well above national trends. If you make the most of the wide range of services you will be able to develop your career from the moment you arrive.
With an emphasis on examining contemporary housing issues and debates, as well as exploring the range of ways in which responses to those issues are and could be formed, the work that you undertake on your Housing and Communities Pathway Degree makes strong connections with the concerns of a very wide range of employers and key professions. This means that the programme is a positive choice for students who are interested in enhancing their employment prospects through their choice of degree programme. Whilst the Housing and Communities Pathway Degree will enable you to specialise, it is also a degree programme which has flexibility too. This means that it is possible for the group of students who undertake this degree programme to craft their degree in a way such that it reflects their developing personal interests, skills, experiences and career aspirations.
There are a wide range of agencies which have both a direct and indirect focus upon housing issues, many of which run excellent graduate management training schemes, some examples would include:
Experiences you can gain as a Housing and Communities Pathway degree student, through your specialist internship, modules placements, work experiences and volunteering, are an excellent way of enriching your CV so that it includes that all important 'experience' that employers so often look for. When interviewed for your first job, you will often find that employers have a keen interest in how far you have developed your appreciation of the connections between your academic subject and the work of their organisations – through your specialist internship and experiences of placements, voluntary work, work experience and beyond, Housing and Communities Pathway Degree students are very well placed to respond with confidence and competence.
Graduate Internship case study: Amy Davenport, Health Exchange
Amy Davenport, BA Social Policy (2013) "Overall, I feel that my internship has served me well and has given me a lot of confidence and a better skill set for my career. My view on social enterprises has changed enormously, as I now have a new understanding of its fast-paced nature and the importance it has in delivering to communities that may find it difficult to get help and support from other, more traditional access points. Looking beyond my internship, I now find myself looking for what social enterprises there are and what opportunities they have."
The Homes and Communities sector employs over 150,000 people in England. In addition to government departments and the Homes and Communities Agency, there are around 1,800 housing associations managing over 2 million homes, local authorities and arms length organisations manage a further 2 million, and there is a wide range of third sector housing bodies covering topics such as homelessness, financial inclusion and housing advice.
Housing employers are increasingly looking for employees with a broad-based degree and an understanding of the connections between home and community and wider social policy issues that your degree will equip you with. There will be opportunities to gain more specific housing-based skills after your degree for example, through the Chartered Institute of Housing's suite of blended learning and direct final qualifications.
According to the Chartered Institute of Housing website, "Working in housing is not just about the building, it's about making a positive difference to people's lives, their communities and their life chances by providing them with a decent home and environment in which to live. Over 150,000 people are estimated to work in the affordable housing sector in the UK. A career in housing is exciting and can provide an incredible variety of options, from housing management, to residential involvement and from development to supported housing - to mention just a few. Put simply, if you want to make a positive difference working in housing is for you!"
Opportunities to secure a career that is right for you, can be enhanced not only through the wide range of experiences that are available to you through your degree programme, but also through the wealth of resources and support that is available through our specialist Careers Network.
Richard took the single honours social policy degree. He decided to study social policy as it allowed him to study a wide range of subjects and issues. Over the course of his studies, Richard enjoyed the criminal justice and diversity modules. Richard graduated with a 2:1 and worked for a youth charity in London, providing after-school activities for young people and leadership training for hundreds of young adults, to enable them to lead in the organisations' residential supper programmes. Since then Richard has progressed to work for the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) on their National Graduate Programme.
As part of the programme, Richard works in prisons directly with the residents and is on a fast-track scheme to becoming a prison governor working his way through the operational roles in prison. Richard feels that the knowledge and skills he gained from his degree, in addition to the fantastic support and guidance he had access to while at Birmingham, has aided him on his prestigious career path.
He would recommend the Social Policy BA to anyone looking to engage in interdisciplinary study.
Naqeeb Ahmed
Naqeeb studied Social Policy at Birmingham and over the course of his studies, particularly enjoyed exploring the theme of citizenship and how government policy affected the lives of citizens. On leaving University, he wanted to work in an environment where he would be involved in key contemporary issues. He therefore took up a research internship with the Young Foundation in London, which involved undertaking literature reviews, researching case studies and drafting articles, speeches and briefings.
He then moved on to Bellenden Public Affairs (BPA) where he was involved in providing communications and research support. This included drafting political briefings and conducting media monitoring for clients such as UK Youth. His internship at BPA was followed by an internship at Society Media. Here, he provided project support for an initiative aimed at creating an index of the top 100 social enterprises in the UK.
Naqeeb now works for the Citizenship Foundation in London where his work involves coordinating the nationwide Young Muslim Leadership Network, an initiative designed to promote civic engagement amongst young people. His role is very diverse and incorporates an element of project management and the implementation of governmental policy. Naqeeb feels his achievements thus far are a testament to having studied in a first class academic environment, hard work, commitment and perseverance.
Naila Begum
I found the Social Policy Department to be very supportive; personal tutors prioritise the welfare of students and ensure that they are on task with their academic work. I particularly enjoyed the Crime and Justice Modules as they provided me with really good insights into the way that public issues can influence the way that the law develops. My dissertation focused on Islamophobia and education as I was interested in researching the nature and prevalence of this issue. During my studies, I also had an invaluable opportunity to volunteer with a charity which assisted women suffering from domestic violence. This not only enabled me to enhance the diverse skills I gained from the course, but also the opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives.
After completing my undergraduate degree, I successfully completed the Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies (GDLs) at the College of Law at the University, and found that the knowledge gained from studying Social Policy is very relevant to different areas of Law. As a member of the Pro-Bono group at the University of Birmingham, I have taken part in various activities which focus on social policy issues, for example, providing information to people about parental rights at the Birmingham Probation Office. My undergraduate degree in Social Policy at the University of Birmingham was the most incredible 3 years. I would thoroughly recommend a social policy degree for anybody with an interest in law. The expertise and knowledge that I gained from studying Social Policy has opened up an excellent career path for me which is a priceless asset to have in today's competitive world.
Caroline Cresswell
Caroline came to the University of Birmingham in 2005 and has since completed both the BA Social Policy and MA Social Research Programmes. She says "I've recently started my PhD here in Social Policy. The decision to come to university as a mature student has definitely changed the course of my life. There's not much else I'd rather be doing!
"I am enjoying the autonomy of carrying out my own research whilst also being aware that support from within the department is here if necessary. The IASS has a friendly atmosphere making it a good working environment. It is also a very dynamic and exciting department to be part of at the moment given the breadth of research interests amongst the academic staff and students and success in the research ratings."
Asha Kaur
Asha Kaur decided to study Social Policy at Birmingham because the subject provided opportunities to study contemporary issues, plus the flexibility to study a wide range of subject areas before deciding upon her future career direction. Asha found the Social Policy department to be highly supportive and committed to their students and the subjects they taught. After completing her degree, Asha decided to study law at Birmingham and gain legal qualifications; she found that many of the skills and areas of knowledge gained whilst studying Social Policy, formed an excellent preparation for studying law.
After completing her legal studies Asha accepted a graduate position with a top legal head-hunting firm. With a view to developing her career around issues to which she has a particular commitment, Asha has recently begun studying for a masters degree in International Human Rights Law; she also volunteers at the Refugee Council, blending her interests in Social Policy, Law and Social Justice. Asha feels her degree in Social Policy provided her with excellent preparation for the world of graduate employment and thoroughly recommends it to anyone who has a passion for social justice and to those who are currently undecided about their career path.
Sam King
One of the features I valued most about the Social Policy programme at Birmingham University, was that it offered me a broad and varied programme of study; I particularly enjoyed the modules on criminal justice. Studying at Birmingham was a fantastic time for me, I was able to combine an active social life with academic work. The support and encouragement from staff really helped, and made for a very enjoyable three years.
Since then, I've completed the Masters in Social Research and a PhD, both at Birmingham. I've been able to develop my interest in criminal justice, and have focused upon desistance from crime and the role of the Probation Service. I've received great support from staff along the way, and have been given the opportunity to gain substantial teaching experience on a range of modules. I feel confident that the experiences I've had while studying at Birmingham will stand me in good stead as I begin my academic career as a lecturer, and have fond memories of my time there.
Will Monaghan
Will Monaghan studied social policy at Birmingham University. He had a particular interest in refugees and the way faith interacts with politics. His dissertation focused on whether or not the government should fund faith schools. In his final year he applied for several positions, all within the public sector, as he developed an interest in government services over the course of his Social Policy degree.
Will is now working as the Cancer Commissioning Manager for Bristol Primary Care Trust, as part of the NHS graduate management training scheme. As part of the training scheme, Will is undertaking a Masters degree in Health and Public Sector leadership based at Birmingham and Manchester Universities. Will loved the time he spent with fellow social policy students and the parties that followed essay hand in days! He continues to benefit from the things he learnt and the people he studied under at Birmingham.
Jo Robinson
The Social Policy degree programme really suited me as it combined two of my favourite A-level topics, Sociology and Politics, as well as other disciplines. The dynamic and flexible nature of the programme also provided the opportunity to focus my studies on my own personal interests. I particularly enjoyed learning about the history of social policy and political and social theory, which formed the basis of my dissertation; the freedom to choose a topic that I was interested in made my dissertation work really enjoyable.
Due to the dynamic nature of teaching and learning methods I have developed a range of key skills such as: report writing, individual and group presentation skills, research and analytical abilities and creative skills such as creating a motion presentation. The Social Policy into Practice module enabled me to develop both practical work based skills and also apply my academic knowledge to real life employment through a placement at the Citizens Advice Bureau. I also gained really valuable experience through an internship at a major Local Authority, working as a research assistant, where I produced a piece of work based on 'Timebanks', a new kind of mutualism. In my final year I was the secretary for the Social Policy Society and helped to organise and host many successful events, including pub crawls, quizzes, curry nights and a successful careers event.
Throughout my three years I had many great experiences and excellent support from the department. As a result I graduated with a 2:1 honours degree and developed a great passion for social policy which inspired me to create a blog so that I can continue to comment on issues and debates that I really care about. I would definitely recommend this degree to anyone who is interested in the wide spectrum of social issues faced by society both past and present.
Hannah Smith
I chose to study Social Policy at the University of Birmingham, because the degree programme covers such a broad range of contemporary social issues and enables students to take a focus on their particular interests. I particularly enjoyed learning about young people, the third sector and the history of the welfare state and loved the freedom of being able to write a dissertation on a topic of my own choice in my final year. The social policy programme helped me to develop skills such as research, report-writing, presentations and policy analysis, skills I was able to use in activities outside of the university setting, too. For example, I undertook an internship as a social research assistant with a small charity working with Bosnian refugees; I also volunteered with a national charity, raising young peoples' awareness of global poverty issues.
Throughout my three years at Birmingham, I had fantastic support from the lecturers in terms of writing essays and feedback and was also encouraged to continue with my studies. As a result, I graduated with a 2:1 and have been accepted to study a Masters in Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Bristol which combines social policy with law, as well as social research methods training. I am currently employed in a major Housing Association and am engaged in a really interesting and inspiring area of work, exploring the housing needs of vulnerable people.
I would recommend Social Policy to anyone who is interested in exploring and discovering more about society and contemporary social issues. My time at the University of Birmingham was life-changing; I wouldn't have chosen any other university to study at!
Josie Smith
I gained a place at the University of Birmingham through the Access to Birmingham (A2B) Scheme and chose the Social Policy programme due to its highly contemporary and interdisciplinary nature. I enjoyed the fact that a wide range of topics were covered over the course of the programme and became particularly interested in the themes of housing and globalisation and focussed my third year research dissertation on exploring the implications and impacts of globalisation on social policy. I successfully completed the Personal Skills Award module which provided me with a range of highly transferrable skills and in the role of Academic Events Representative I also organised a very successful careers event this year for the Social Policy Society.
The Careers and employability support provided was very good indeed; I was able to gain a range of valuable experiences, for example, an internship in the Corporate Strategy Team of a major Local Authority, working on a project exploring the rights and duties of local authorities as embodied in the Localism Act 2011. I am currently planning to undertake some further research in a third sector organisation.
The support I received over my three years was excellent and at the end of the programme I was delighted to graduate with a First class honours degree. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Social Policy programme and would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to gain a wide range of experiences and skills and succeed in their chosen careers.
George Wilson
George took the single honours social policy degree. Over the course of his studies, George enjoyed the criminal justice modules and developed a particular interest in British Security Policy and Counter Terrorism, a topic which he choose to form the focus of his final year dissertation in which explored the impacts of Security Policies upon British Muslims. During his degree, George also competed for the University of Birmingham men's football team, was a student representative and gained work experience at a top human rights law firm and the Metropolitan Police.
Graduating with a 2:1, the knowledge gained during his degree contributed to George's success in the initial stages of an application to the Metropolitan police. However, George was also offered a football scholarship at a prestigious university in North Carolina to complete a Master in Liberal Arts and Sciences which he accepted. George feels that the knowledge and skills gained from his degree and the unparalleled support and guidance of his academic supervisors over his time in Birmingham have been the catalyst for an incredible 3 years, and would recommend the degree to anyone looking to engage in interdisciplinary study.
Siying Poole
I chose to study at the University of Birmingham because of its international prestige and excellent reputation in both academic research and teaching. The successful completion of an Access to Higher Education diploma enabled me to join this dynamic and vibrant university as a mature student.
Throughout my degree programme, my expectations were fulfilled in every single respect: my subjects were intellectually interesting and challenging; my lecturers provided inspiration and support and comprehensive welfare and social life programs were available from Student Services. A degree in Political Science and Social Policy has enabled me to gain a variety of valuable skills. These include verbal and written communication skills, research and analytical skills, project management, team working, IT skills in research software including NVIVO and SPSS, and the creation of wikis and the use of other social media such as facebook and twitter.
Whilst studying at the University, I have researched intensively into the Third Sector and my voluntary work at Birmingham Children's Hospital has complemented and informed my research in this area. I have worked closely with consultants and nurses at the Dermatology Department and have chaired an eczema support group since 2009. I successfully completed my degree in July 2012 and obtained a high 2:1 and a 1st with my thesis. Overall, my degree programme has provided me with a really solid foundation for a career in the public or third sector.

CH20 Elbow Chair
from Carl Hansen & Son
designed by Hans Wegner
Though it was introduced in 2005, the Elbow Chair was actually designed by Hans Wegner in 1956. It embodies his desire to create simple objects with form and function combined. Wonderfully suited for use as a dining chair, the Elbow Chair is beautiful enough to enhance any room as a side chair.
The Elbow Chair's frame is made of solid ash, beech, or oak. To enhance the chair's comfort, Wegner added an upholstered seat cushion - and that's where it gets really fun. You can choose from a plethora of fabric and leather colors to perfectly suit your taste.

About The ManufacturerThe family-owned Carl Hansen & Son has been producing hand-made pieces since 1908. However, it was not until the late 1940s that the Danish furniture house, under the direction of Holger Hansen (the "Son"), joined forces with Hans Wegner and began a partnership that would help further not just the company but the entire Danish Modern design style. Wegner's unique, modern designs initially tested the company's production team as it had previously dedicated itself to more traditionally home-style pieces. Under Holger Hansen's guidance the partnership flourished; in the 1950s and 1960s the Carl Hansen Company and Hans Wegner both received international acclaim for their boundary-pushing work. One of the first pieces to emerge from this partnership was the Wishbone Chair, one of four chairs that Wegner designed specially for Carl Hansen in 1949. While the company faced difficulties during the second half of the 20th century, including Holger Hansen's sudden death in 1962, Carl Hansen & Son persevered and began the 21st century with a renewed focus, set on bringing Danish Modern furniture back to the center of the design world. Since 2001, when grandson Knud Erik Hansen assumed control of the company, Carl Hansen & Son has expanded in Denmark, continued to produce top-quality, hand-crafted furniture, gone on producing successful Wegner designs, and introduced new, previously unseen pieces from the legendary Danish designer.

DesignerHans Wegner
One of the prime influences in Danish Modern design during its formative years, Hans Wegner first began to design furniture after attending the Carpenters' Guild Furniture Exhibits in Copenhagen, Denmark. Shortly after completing his studies at what is now The Danish Design School, he was tasked by Arne Jacobsen with designing all the furniture of his Arhus City Hall. After working with Jacobsen for a short time, he began designing furniture for the Carl Hansen & Son furniture company in 1949. From that partnership came classics such as the Wishbone Chair, Elbow Chair, Shell Chair, and Wing Chair. Still as fresh now as they were then, these enduring pieces of modern furniture bear testimony to Wegner's craftsmanship and inspiration.

Ashley needed a gig that she could easily take on the road since her husband's job moved them (+2 pugs, which they just consider furry children) from place to place. She finally dusted off the old sewing machine and went to stitching home goods from leftover and recycled fabric. But after demand increased (yeah, they were sellin' like hotcakes), Ashley shifted her focus to creating her unique goods with high-quality materials. With each linen pillow embellished with individual letter stamping ("No screenprinting here!"), the process is a bit time consuming but the inevitable payoff is the unique character of each pillow.

Thousands of Kurds from all over Europe are expected in Paris today for what is expected to be an angry protest over the killing of three female activists shot dead at least three times in the head, giving further credence to the theory of an execution-style hit. Kurdish activists have accused Turkey or rogue nationalist elements in the country's military of being behind the killings.
