I received a letter from a lecturer or tutor saying "I recommened you a place...." - slightly confused? Why did they specifically write to me to say this?

And I recieved another letter with a handwritten comment saying good luck from the same tutor :/

Hello,
I am an oversea student and would like to know further about the EY degree selection process and how it is eligible for oversea students (International Students) in the eventuality that they have an offer and are invited to attend assessment centre.
What are the procedures? Do I have to travel all the way to the UK?

Will this take place while I am sitting for my A Level Cambridge International Examinations in May/June 2015 or before or after?

I am applying through UCAS for the 2015 entry in LANCASTER UNIVERSITY with Accounting Finance and Audit Bsc. (Undergraduate Program).

" Any offer for the BSc (Hons) Accounting, Auditing and Finance degree will only be made after successful attendance at an assessment centre organised by Ernst & Young, in collaboration with the University. Selected UCAS applicants will therefore be requested to complete a supplementary application form and online test, and may then receive an invitation to attend an assessment centre in either London or Lancaster.

To whom it may concern,

Hiya! I was wondering if the Marketing department of the management school are taking part in any scheme similar to previous years considering they aren't involved in the unconditional scheme? e.g Grade drop for those who firm?

Hello,

Some departments review forms, and prior to the offer being made, like to let the student know that they will shortly be receiving an offer via UCAS Track, I imagine that this i what has happened in your case. Similarly other letters and or emails are sent out to applicants and offer holders inviting them to attend a post application visit day, was it in a letter like this that you received a hand written comment?

I am assuming that by know you have received confirmation of an offer via UCAS Track, if so, congratulations! Please do not worry about receiving additional letters or email from the department, the admissions tutors want to keep all applicants informed about opportunities to visit, current research projects, areas of expertise and similar strengths of the department.

Hello RK,

We do not offer an foundation entry Medicine degree courses. We do offer a Pre-Medical Studies certificate coursewhich is designed for those students who are high achievers but could not qualify for Medicine directly due to subject requirements etc.

Hi Jake,

There is currently no scheme in operation this year but the department may choose to contact applicants at a later stage with further information regarding such a scheme.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. All applicants who submit an application for 2015 entry to Accounting, Auditing and Finance BSc will be assessed and selected applicants will be contacted with further information about the selection process including an invite to complete a supplementary application form. If this is successful you will be invited by EY to begin their selection process.

More information on the selection process can be found on the departments dedicated page EY Degree.

For applicants who reach the assessment workshop stage will be required to attend a centre in the UK, unfortunately these are not available outside of the UK. The assessment workshops run throughout the year but will typically take place before you receive your A level results.

It is worth noting that the selection process for The EY Degree has been carefully designed to provide a 'safety net' should your application fail at any of the stages outlined above. Specifically if you are unsuccessful and meet the entry requirements, you will be offered a place on one of our alternative accounting and finance programmes via UCAS. Applying for the EY degree means that you only need to make one application to the Accounting and Finance department.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

First and foremost we are looking for applicants to have a keen interest in the subject area. We look for applicants who have taken an interest in the subject outside of the classroom such as reading blogs and journals. In your personal statement you should be able to answer the following questions:

‘Why do you want study this subject and why are you the right person for the course?’

On an academic level all courses within our Accounting and Finance department typically offer at AAB at A level and require a B in GCSE Mathematics for 2015 entry and we would expect applicants to have an academic profile in this area.

Hope this helps.
