Just got accepted unconditionally through clearing for a BA. I'm a mature student who hasn't really done much with their life since dropping out of school ~8 years ago so I'm hoping it'll open some doors at least. Better believe I'm bleeding SFE and bursaries for all they're worth.
>>6367 Wait, what? On what basis did they accept you? I want to return myself but didn't apply this year because I thought I'd at least need to study maths A-level (for Comp Sci).
Birmingham told me there was no prospect of admission with a CertHE plus maths A-Level at grade A and instead I should consider a foundation year. Not only is that below my current level of qualification there's even less funding available for that rendering the prospect impossible.
>>6368 I'm not going anywhere fancy, mate. Likely the only reason I got in was because I'm vastly overqualified for the school but not enough so to even scrape into anywhere with any actual academic standing.
>>6368 You didn't apply because you thought you'd need at least A Level maths? Why didn't you just check the entry requirements? Maybe you do need to look further down the league tables.
>>6371 What gives you the impression I didn't check them? I did, at a couple dozen unis. Where do you think I got the idea that A Level maths is indeed very important? I don't see your point.
>>6373 >Where do you think I got the idea that A Level maths is indeed very important?
On the requirements for pretty much every course outside (and sometimes within) clearing. "ABB including English and Maths" and the like isn't uncommon at even supposedly shite unis.
