Hey Zac619

I'm currently studying at BCU and i think its a great university. The campus is lovely and the lecturers are helpful:biggrin:. i'm a third year student and I remember at the end of the second year we were all told that we could do a placement if we wanted to.You can phone to ask Uni to clarify whether or not you can do a placement year.I don't know anything about your course so can't help you with that.:frown:

Hi Zach,

Great to hear that you want to firm a place here at BCU :smile: In terms of changing your course, can you please send an email to [email protected] with your name, date of birth, UCAS ID, course you have applied for and your query (in this case applying for the sandwich year). They'll be able to help you with this :smile: Please bear in mind that it's a busy time for admissions if you don't hear from them straight away, they will get back to you as soon as they can.

Also we thought this may be of interest to you. One of our 'I will shape the world' graduates that we have been showcasing on our social media platforms did this course and he is currently working for Aston Martin. Here's his profile. Not bad!

We hope that helps. We look forward to seeing you around in September :biggrin:

Sunny (BCU Team)
