Hi!

I'm applying to study BSc Computer Science with industrial year at the University of Essex for 2016 entry!

Hello!

Congratulations for your choice! I am a current Essex student - I am doing my masters now but I've spend 3 years here as I have finished my law degree at Essex as well! Don't hesitate to ask my anything, should you need any help or advice regarding Essex!

Hi!

I was considering doing the integrated Masters in Computer Science, but chose to go for the BSc instead becasue I might have a better chance of recieveing an offer given my current AS level grades.

Hello!
Excellent choice. Essex is popular for its Computer Science studies. I have three friends who have done the BSc Computer Science and one of them found a job straightaway in London. The other two stayed here for a masters
Have you seen the entry requirements for your degree?

Yes, I have

ABB for the Int. Masters

BBB for the BSc.

Currently got ADDE in AS levels (A in EPQ) and now predicted BC in my 2 remaining A levels, plus retaking the AS I got an E in, and another AS level which I picked up too. Thought I would go for the BSc course as per the advice given to me by the admissions department I saw at the uni of essex open day.

Finally I've found someone in the same situation as me! I'm carrying on 2 a2, resitting and AS and picking up an AS too. I'm applying for PPE though. Have you asked admissions if they'd consider you? I did and they said I'd have to get BBbb.

Does anyone know if this is common? Do many people in this situation get offers?

What is PPE?

Most, if not all BA/BSc offers for University of Essex are ABB - BBB. Most likely the both of us will recieve the latter offer though. I went to the Uni of Essex open day, and I spoke to admissions about applying, and they recommended the straght up BSc course over the foundation course with my given AS grades. So basically they will consider me for the course.

Turns out you have to really screw up quite bad in the exams to be put on the foundation year with Uni of Essex.

Also, they consider any two AS levels to be considered one full A level. They also count the EPQ as an AS level too, which is good because I got an A in it. Hence, if I got an A in one of my AS subjects then it will be counted as an A at A level .

Most likely, they will give me a similar offer to yours.

Best of luck with applications!

Just applied for University of Essex today.

Course: Law
AS grades: AAAE (I did great in my essay subjects but I just did not do well in my only science.)
A2 predictions: A*AA
Other unis: LSE, Surrey, Newcastle, East Anglia
Offer?: Not yet, I will update if I receive one.

I'm most likely going to put it as my insurance as the entry requirements for my course are achievable.

Hi!
I'm in my final year at the University of Essex and would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have!

Your offer will still stand- I'm sure they just want to get to know you. You will likely have a tour of campus and meet the department and it'll be more like a personalised open day - I'm in my third year at Essex but I'm actually studying abroad right now but I was in the same boat for Biochemistry where I had an offer but had to have an interview as well
