I'm a linguist who graduated from a polytechnic.
Last year one of my course colleagues told me of an Oxford language undergraduate he once met.
It turns out we polytechnic linguists not only had longer terms, but far more stringent course requirements to meet (they had no compulsory one year period of residence abroad).
We also did vocational subjects like political science and economics, not literature.
I therefore feel we are far better qualified than them.
