"A-levels - you must be predicted CCC to include Chemistry. If you are not taking Biology at A-level, then it must be passed grade B as a single science at GCSE. Other subjects can be almost anything; the only exclusions are General Studies and Critical Thinking."

"Module Re-sits - you can re-sit one module in each of the subjects you are taking at AS level. However we will not accept any module re-sits of A2 modules"

Dear oh dear. Nottingham, you officially have the most retarded entry requirements for any foundation course out there.

very retarded, when I rang the university the man goes you need 5B's then when I rang again the admissions officer she was like no just 5 B's and C's... lmaoo

and it's not even clear on the website so stupid...

And good luck everyone!

Tell me about it

When I e-mailed them telling them my GCSEs (5As/4A*s) they didn't say anything about them, though now I know they won't accept them, they just said the stuff about module re-sits.

And what really annoyed me was that they didn't mention anything about these things on the website when I checked when applying!

Hey , I just received an email with the portal link and how to log in. Though the questionnaire was not mentioned in the email ... can I complete it anyway?

[tobnot]

Yeah i've had the same email and just rang admissions about the questionnaire. They said that we can go on and complete the questionnaire. They told me to set aside 2 hours to complete it (not sure why it would take that long as most of it's multiple choice!)

They also said that you have up to 7 days to complete it once you've logged in and that they'll be sending out letters to all A108 applicants by the end of this week.

[IamBeowulf]

i got the email too

i may call them later then - its odd we only have 7 days

how many questions are there in the questionnaire

There are 7 sections (career, communication, social skills ect...) that are all multiple choice, then there's a work experience section where you have to enter contact details for all your work experience placements and describe them.

I know, I don't know why there's a 7 day deadline on it

Not sure, it just says 'medical related work experience' and you can enter up to 4.

[sumsum123]

Ohh okay , I will get started on it . Would voluntary placements count as "medical related work experience" then ?

7 days after logging in the portal thing, or the questionnaire one?
I only just got my acknowledgement today with the details and haven't gone on the questionnaire, just the portal one.

[Hanz_a93]

Anyone know where i can find the questionnaire??
