Hello,

I have just received an unconditional offer to study History, and I was wondering whether it is possible to list this unconditional offer as an insurance choice, or if it is the only offer I can accept.

Thank you.

I'm in real trouble, I got an email about an interview for Film & Television Production and basically I had no way to get down there and I thought the email said if I don't reply by a certain time they will decline me so miserablely, I left the email and awaited a notification saying I had been declined. However it didn't happen so I looked over the email and it said I needed to email him back. That was back in the 23rd of January, I don't know what I'm meant to do now. Do I email him? Is there any way I could do the interview over Skype?

Good day,

I would really appreciate your help in answering some questions in relation to studying Software Development BSc (Hons) at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford.I am a British citizen and hold a British passport etc, however I hold a South African National Senior Certificate (SA NSC) which I received in December 2008.

I have read both your eligibilty criteria as well as the information on UCAS and they stated the following:

"South Africa: We extend a warm welcome to students from South Africa. (...) If you’re applying for an undergraduate course (year 1 entry) you must hold one of the following: Senior Certificate with matriculation endorsement and at least 5Cs (...)"
(http://www.anglia.ac.uk/international/information-by-country/south-africa).

And on UCAS it also states "Grades 4 or above are generally considered to be acceptable for entry to HE in the UK"
(https://www.ucas.com/sites/default/files/2015-international-qualifications.pdf).

However, I would like to check with yourselves first that I fit within the eligibility criteria for Software Development BSc (Hons). As it states on the actual course page of Anglia Ruskin that the eligibility requirements are:
- 240 UCAS Tariff Points from a minimum of 2 A levels (or equivalent).
- 5 GCSEs at grade C or above, including English and Maths.
(http://www.anglia.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/software-development)

I achieved the following grades on my South African National Senior Certificate (SA NSC):
English: 85% (Level 7)
Life Orientation: 86% (Level 7)
Dramatic Arts: 81% (Level 7)
Mathematics: 75% (Level 6)
Business Studies: 72% (Level 6)
Further Mathematics: 66% (Level 5)
Information Technology: 62% (Level 5)
Afrikaans: 60% (Level 5)

During my job role I interact with various systems which has given me a hands on professional knowledge of both systems and software. Furthermore, I have done additional personal reading and implementation on the subject, such as coding in Python, Scratch and Delphi 7.

Also, I don't know if this changes anything, but if I am accepted, I would also be enrolled as a mature student as I am currently 25 years old.

So here are my subsequent questions:
-Given the information above would I be eligible for the course stated?
-If not, what would I need to do extra to become eligible?
-If I enrolled now, when is the earliest I can start? (It would be ideal to start this September 2016, is that possible in any way?)
-If I can only enrol next year, I understand that the UCAS tariff system is changing, would that impact me in at all?
-Would I need to do anything special/extra when applying as I have a South African certificate? Additional documents that need to be submitted?

Your answers would be most greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have a question about the open day on Saturday the 11th. My question is, are you doing any talks on Marine Biology at Cambridge? I got an email listing all the different talks but could not find any talks on Marine Biology. Thanks, Squishy.

so I have a question about the Zoology course at Cambridge. Is there any requirement to complete animal dissections on this course, would we be failed if we didn't complete an animal dissection?
