Need Advice with university

Hi, this is my first post so im new to this but i have a bit of a dilemma.

I've finished first year of accounting and finance at university (wolverhampton) but i failed two modules, i've tried retaking one of them but i only managed to get 36% so i was 4% of passing and the other one i am retaking is tomorrow which i reckon ill pass but that exam will be capped at 40%, luckily for me 50% of that module included an assignment which i managed to get 100% so if i do pass that module ill get a 70% (first). Therefore i'd have only failed one module and i know Wolverhampton will accept me for second year but the problem is i don't want to study there next year.

I was offered a conditional offer from BCU to transfer second year but they said because i didn't pass all the modules i couldn't transfer. However now im thinking of just restarting the whole year, same course but at BCU. I've already asked BCU if its possible, they said yes but i'd have to apply through clearing. They said my chances were good (i didn't do so well in A levels) as i have already completed some of the modules with decent results but there still considering it.

My question is, is it worth restarting first year again? The course isn't the problem, the university was, i had to catch the train everyday and it made me miss quite a few lectures and that same problem won't happen again at BCU as i live closer. I would'nt call this year a complete waste as i did pretty good in some modules, got 2 firsts and will get another if i pass my retake tomorrow so it'll make it easier if i do restart at BCU and i know i won't fail any modules.

Need some advice as im not sure what to do. Do i stay and continue on to second year of the course or restart at BCU through clearing. Either way i'd still have to apply for student finance again in august.

If you re struggling to get to university by commuting and you d still have that problem for the next two years and feel like you need a fresh start then why not give it a go through clearing i say

Yeh thats what i was thinking, im just not feeling wolverhampton university. The only problem is do you think BCU will have places through clearing for accounting and finance? Never gone through clearing before.

According to ucas bcu has places in clearing for most of the accounting related courses. You ll have to go through ucas and fill in the application to get a clearing number, but be worthwhile calling up bcu to check they ve still got places left but if you do it quickly and theres still places left i d recon you d have a good chance.

Thanks for the advice, i did phone them up earlier today, they said ill have a good chance but i sent them my results and they said they would have a look, consider it and then get back to me by email. My only issue is as of now is £9000, if i go BCU it'll be a waste of £9000.

I guess, all i have to now is make sure i pass the exam tomorrow and wait till clearing or until they email me back

I know this is a bit random but can i ask why you didnt like about wolerhampton university,, was it because of the travelling or was it because of the course content and lectures .. I am concidering to go through clearing for accounting and finance

Also what a levels did you take because i have taken maths chemistry and physics and feel i might be at a dissadvantage not studying accounting at a level

I don't think the account and finance course is really that hard as i got a 2-1 without revising much. My problem was mainly traveling by train to get to the uni which was long. Some of the lecturers are really nice and helpful whilst others aren't so good.

In terms of A levels, i didn't study accounting or any finance a levels either in college but its not a big deal as they teach you what you need to learn, whats helpful is the notes they provide you online, so if you miss a lecture you can still catch up. I did however have a problem with one module, costing (2nd semester) i think thats probably the hardest module but this is due to the fact i didn't revise much. I also didn't really like my seminar group as there was rarely anyone in, most people are lazy and don't really attend them or even lectures so there's not much students to talk to other than a few friends. Honestly it all depends on you, its what you make of it. I didn't really like it but you might.

Thank you .. are you still studying accounting and finance ?
