I am applying to go to Birmingham University to do computer systems engineering. I have an offer and so far with my exams... I'm unsure if I am going to get the grades... I really want to get into Birmingham university and if I don't get in I don't really want to go into clearing because I want to stay local and there is not many Unis that are local that do the course I want.

I have spoke to the University before about flexibility on the offer... they said they are unlikely to be flexible because the government has raised the fee to accept students that haven't got the grade.

If I do not get the grades... I do not mind taking another year at A-level. My questions are:
will my offer remain the same for birmingham Uni, or similar?
I have applied through A2B so will I beable to apply through A2B the second time and will I have to redo all the requirement, like the SA and the test etc.?
If I do a 3rd year I will have to change college, I want to go to the new sandwell college... will they accept me if I apply in August(after my results)?
and finally if the exam boards are not the same am I able to transfer exams board? (most of them are AQA)

Thank you for all your help.. much appreciated

Requirements normally go up year by year, so your offer may not be the same next year.
Yes you will have to fully reapply to A2B.
You'll have to ask the college.
If you do another exams board then you will have to do the full a level again as far as im aware, as the material isn't transferable.
