    This might sound like a random question, but does anyone take their T.V or plan on taking it?

    Yeah exactly so it'll let us try out loads of different types! I also really like the sound of the work experience module in Year 2, that sounded really good so doing that!
    Aw, I know what you mean, I want to do this course so badly but I'm worried I won't get in argh hate A-Levels, they're so nerve-wracking! You doing A-Levels? If so, which ones?
    Sorry. Haven't had any notifications -_-
    Hmmm :\
    I did English Literature, Language and History. Needless to say, I don't think I've done very well at alllll. :|

    Hey all, does anybody know how lenient Winchester are with grades? Just missed out on my offer by the lowest of possible low margins!

    For the IB, winchester wanted 26 overall and 4+ in all subjects.

    I got 26 overall, 4+ in all subjects apart from 1 in which i got a 3. Any ideas how lenient they are? Had my heart set on winchester for a long time now, and would be gutted to miss out by such a ridiculously small margin.

    Thanks

    Phone them to explain it all, they'd rather take someone they took time to select than someone through clearing

    I think it's about £150-ish. You can pay in instalments though if it makes it easier

    Hello All,

    May I congratulate all you firms on your excellent choice of university? But then I might be biased. I run the English Language programme here at Winchester. Let me know if you have any questions I can help with.

    I'll be studying Criminology and Vocal & Choral studies at Winchester in September - I can't wait! Although I have no idea where i'm going to put all of my clothes. I went to an open day and was given a tour of a student room but I can't for the life of me remember if there is a proper wardrobe-y type cupboard?
