CHOICES

Choices: List

DECIDING ON UP TO FIVE CHOICES ON YOUR APPLICATION

Use the following questions to help narrow your choices:
1. What are the Minimum entry requirements*?

2. How competitive is your course?

3. Is it a Campus or City University? or What are the Facilities like?

4. What are your Employment Prospects after completing the course?

5. If you have additional needs, what Support is Available to you?

6. Did you enjoy the Open Day and/or Virtual Tours?

7. How is the course taught and assessed?

​

*Be aware, if you do not make the minimum entry requirements you will most likely be automatically refused a place on the course. You may, however, be offered a Foundation Year if it’s available. If you do not reach the required grades upon finishing Upper Sixth, you may also be unable to go onto this course.
