    Need help/advice
    Hello I hope you have all had a good day so far

    Basically, I am currently at the university of Bolton - its awful. If you go there, please please inbox me I have been here nearly one academic year and I'm studying a HnD in Business Management, which gives me the option to do a top up year else where, it ends up being the same as a normal Degree.

    I genuinely hate it, I want to know if its possible to go through UCAS now and apply for another university? To do any other course tbh. Only problem is I have came out with 140 points. I don't usually go on forums and ask for help but I need it badly.

    I want to know if there are any short courses you can do to get more Points, like access courses or whatever, Or if you have seen any courses in University's which offer a small amount of points.


    I will be glad if somebody helps me, it'll mean more than a lot.

    You've got until 30th June to apply to guarantee Uni's will see your application After that, it's straight to clearing.
    I've seen courses with foundation years that ask for around 80 points so best option for you would be to decide what course you'd like to do, check the UCAS course search for Uni's doing this course, check the required UCAS points and check the vacancies. You could email any Uni's to see if a place on that course would be likely . So it may mean another 4 years at Uni but if you end up enjoying the course, why not?

    There are Access courses you can do but they do cost money and some do take a year to do. Baring in mind that the ones I've seen have already started filling up places.
