    Hi Everyone,

    I just received a place for foundation at the school

    Just wondering 2 things:
    1) I'm 17 (turning 18), is that similar ages to all of you who have got in for foundation?
    2) Does attending foundation guarantees a first year place the following year?

    Thanks
    randereen
    Hi randereen,
    I received a offer for foundation year as well and I am currently 18. Also, I am not completely sure but I heard that if you do well in your foundation year they invite you back for your 1st year

    Hello I'll be starting 3rd year in September .

    Anybody knows how to get a scholarship or Industry-sponsorship for AA students? I am sourcing for scholarship because AA doesn't provide for 3rd yr entry

    Hey there! Has anyone received any info about the full payment discount thing?

    I'm sorry "mizx" but I did no interview, but I suppose the most important thing is to be yourself (sounds topic but also true) and try to make them feel how much you desire to study at the AA. But I insist, this advice is made by somebody who's had no interview at the AA

    I am postgraduate and international... I think it is a common practice, because I have applied for masters at several unit in the UK and none of them asked for an interview, just portfolio, referees and personal statement
