University of Birmingham 2015 Applications FAQ + Chat Thread + Offers

Have you firmed too? I have always liked Birmingham and the reputation kind of swayed me I think, I put Leeds as my insurance wbu?

I've applied for Jarratt Hall, Pritchatt's twice, Oakley and Ashcroft. Have you had a chance to visit the accommodation? Only the Vale was open on my applicant's day, which sucked.

I applied for Jarratt hall twice too! Then mason as my 3rd and Oakley court as my fourth :-)

I've got Victoria hall, Ashcroft, Oakley court, maple bank twice and tennis courts. Used to have mason on there but I changed it.

Some of the same ones that I've applied to Have any of you seen the accommodation? I haven't had the chance to, so really want to know what people think of it and stuff

No worries! Yeah it is, I am thinking to insure Sheffield. Are you thinking of going to any other applicant days?

Probably not as a lot of the applicant days for my insurance choices are on days I have mock exams What about you?

Hi, I have an unconditional offer to study English at UoB Not yet 100% sure whether I will be firming it, but looking fairly likely at the moment!

Oo, okay. You want to study Psychology too, right?

Yeah, you're right, I'm reluctant to firm or insurance anything until I've been there to be honest. Not entirely sure I'll be comfortable living in a massive city compared to somewhere smaller like Lincoln, but there are so many factors to consider, aren't there?

I applied for jarrat and Oakley too, how did the vale look and are you from Birmingham ?

Hey, that's great! Well done! May be seeing you around in September then!

Do not apply to live in Pritchatts House--it's gross! Ashcroft is nice though

Applied for MSCi Psychology and Psychological Practice but was offered BSc instead ������, (congrats to those who did it's only like 5 people! )

I'll most likely accept, and i've heard if you do exceptionally well in the first 2 years they'll consider transfering you to the MSCi? Can anybody confirm?...

It's not that they'll transfer you, it just means you have a greater chance of being accepted if you apply for it. On my applicant day I was told it's better to apply for the BSc initially anyway, because then you can figure out whether the course/career route is right for you and if you're right for it.

I guess that makes more sense, thanks.
do they invite you to the applicant day or do we have to register? (How was it?)

If they told you that on the applicant day that's really strange. General consensus is that it's better off applying for MSci to start with because it's usually just one grade different, people get in missing their offers etc, and its really easy to switch to BSc half way through your degree because obviously there's no requirements for that. Also, in order to switch TO masters after second year, you have to be getting consistently over 60% I believe, or if you want to switch earlier you have to be getting really impressive marks. Whereas if you're initially on the masters programme to STAY on the masters course the grade requirements are lower. So it's easier to stay on it than it is to get on it, and easier to change to BSc than it is to change to MSCi.

Otherwise, they're quite good in most courses about switching people up to masters as long as you have the grades. But you'll have to specifically go to them and ask rather than them coming to you and saying you're suitable.

Prichatt's house isn't that bad, the only thing to take note of is the 'Global community' thing they're starting in Prichatts House. So depends if you want to live with mainly UK students or a more equal mix of UK and international
