Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to apply for Loughborough Uni as a mature student, I've sent an email to the Uni to ask for their views but I got the standard reply of each application will be consider individually and then offers will be made.
Regarding admissions for mature students, On the AAT website it states:
Loughborough University
Holders of AAT Level 4 Diploma in Accounting will be considered for entry onto year one of degree programmes in the Business School. In addition to AAT Level 4 Diploma in Accounting, applicants will also be required to have GCSE grade B for Maths and English Language as a minimum. Applicants will be interviewed and may be asked to gain more qualifications.
I just wanted to know if this is the same admission policy for 2012/13? as this has not been updated on the AAT website. As I'm expected to complete Level 4 AAT in June
Also I have opted out of studying for a BTEC National Diploma in Business and Enterprise, choosing instead to gain employment within a bank. I'm hoping this would improve my chances of entry to a Banking, Finance and Management BSc (Hons) Degree, as it will provide me valuable experience and knowledge that I believe will be helpful if I was accepted at Loughborough University.
Would I be correct in assuming this?
Regarding a good profile of GCSE's, what does the university consider good? would that be A*-C or B and above? and how many GCSE's requires and good profile?
I have 6 GCSE's B-C and 1 D (Maths - B, English - B, Physical Education - B, Science (double award) - CC, I.C.T - C, Statistics - D), I had completed GCSE Maths 6 months earlier and went on to study Statistics for the remaining 6 months in 2004. In 2010 I achieved GCSE English - B.
Would this be consider as a good profile?
As a mature student I have five years of work experience with DHL (International logistics company), I believe that I have developed skills such as time management, communication techniques, most of all applying logic to solve problems and overcome issues.
Would these skills be consider in my application?
I'm looking to gain information as I'm unfamiliar with the application process and research my possibilities
Can anyone give me any advice if i have a chance of getting admission into Loughborogh?
Many thanks for your reply in advance
