Might not be entirely ethical, but have you considered lying?
Do you have the equivalent skills of a degree course? Are your skills as good or even better than a degree graduate?
If you can honestly evaluate yourself with a yes, then lie to get your foot in the door, then impress them with your skills.
In truth, what good is a degree if you have real experience?

I'm in a multimedia course right now and there's a guy who joined the course in 2nd year. He's a webdesigner, he's been doing it for years and he's better than alot of our graduates before even joining us, but he's torturing himself and sitting through the course just to get the degree. It's just silly, it's a piece of paper that means little or nothing.

I agree.. A degree is two things: a piece of paper that gets you a tick in a box; a way of working and learning how to learn

Although I really enjoyed uni, my degree was a waste of time and money, I have had 3 jobs since graduating and have never been asked for my degree certificate.

Hope things go OK zumo, you are obviously a really talented designer mate, especially your print work.
