Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Will I get into University with just ONE A-level?

I work full-time and self study. Have just got one A-level which is B in A-level Maths. Want to apply for foundation courses like especially Computing/Software. What are my chances with just One A level lol. :biggrin:

Slim to none.
Anywhere I've heard of is 2+, and even then it tends to be for low-ranking universities or very unpopular courses. Most places want 3.

EDIT: Just saw it's for foundation courses, in which case I don't know. My bad for misreading.

You need to go onto university websites and have a look at their entrance requirements. If you don't meet them (or even get very close to meeting them), then unfortunately there's very little chance that they will take you.

It sounds like an Access course might be a good idea for you? It would also allow you to skip the foundation year.
