I finished my A-Levels in 2011, getting an A*, A, A, B. Got into Cambridge but had a nervous breakdown and left in the second year. Now want to apply to uni again at 23 after having been in work for three years, as I feel like I'm going nowhere in life and not pursuing my interests.
I want to apply to Exeter to study French and Italian, or Law and Italian. It says on their website:
It is normally recommended that you should have undertaken some recognised systematic course of study (eg, Access, Open University credits, or GCE A levels) within the last three years.
I haven't. What would be the minimum? Will they not recognise my A-Levels at all, i.e. will I have to redo all four, or can I just redo one somewhere as an external candidate and apply based on that (I suppose if they gave me an offer it would be conditional based on that A-Level)?
Or should I just do some OU credits? I suppose that would be easier, but perhaps more costly... however if I did some Law modules that might help my application if I apply for Law and Italian, considering all my A-Levels are in languages.
Would really appreciate any advice!
