    Environmental Science 2012
    Hello, No one seems to be talking about this course! General discussion?

    Applied to Southampton, Reading, Plymouth and Portsmouth. Have one more choice but torn between UEA and UWE? :confused:
    Also, what grades have people applied for? I have offers for ABB and BBC, but are you applying to a range or limited grades?
    And does anyone know the differences between the course codes? None of my applications have the same course code, wondering whether it's because the content is different or something...

    I've applied for Environmental Science too, I have 4 offers so far just waiting on my last one! So you have offers from all that you've applied for? Most of my offers are ABB but one's BBC as my back up. The course code just depends on the university I think and because the modules etc vary with each course. What A Levels are you studying?

    I've got offers from Reading (ABB) and Plymouth (BBC) so far. Where is your BBC offer from?
    Studying Geography, Biology and Politics, so from what I can gather, Environmental Science is a mix of all them!
    What about you?

    I was going to apply to Reading too but in the end I just wanted to get my UCAS sent off so rushed all my choices. :/ My BBC offer is from Manchester Met, and I'm doing English, Maths and Physics

    My ABB offer from Reading was confirmed today. Which uni's did you apply to in the end? I think I'm going to have to make a panic choice about my last option, but it's another ABB, as no Uni's seem to offer BBB.

    I have applied to Leeds, Birmingham, York and Newcastle and MMU (already mentioned). Yes i found it difficult finding offers of B's, although York does range from about BBC to AAB (i think). Heard anything else recently?

    My wife (she is on YouGo but not on here) applied for 3 yr BSc Environmental Management at Northumbria, 3 yr BSc in Environmental Science at Sheffield Hallam and Newcastle, 4 year BSc with foundation at York and Nottingham.

    She received unconditionals from York, Northumbria and Newcastle, she was rejected by Nottingham, and cancelled Sheffield Hallam so she could accept Newcastle. No insurance as her offer was unconditional.

    Good luck

    Got an offer from UEA for ABB last week, now just waiting for Southampton! I have a 'visit day' tomorrow, which includes an informal interview so hope fully get an offer/rejection after that.

    Hey, sorry I'm a bit late but I'm also applying for environmental science. Got conditional offers from Reading, UEA, Exeter, Southampton & Bournemouth. Probably gonna pick Reading or UEA as my firm. I'm curious as to which you are going to pick as your firm and insurance??? Thanks x

    I've picked Southampton as my firm and UEA as my insurance. I didn't find Reading that appealing tbh, the course seemed quite dull compared to others when the presented it and I didn't like the campus much. Looked like half of it was falling apart! UEA was lovely, great location and uni, but Southampton captured my heart.
