I'm a current student on the biological sciences foundation course. I'll be honest, it is challenging and some of the tutors are incredibly unhelpful but university is all about being independent, so if you put in the effort and work hard you'll pass with ease.
Hi I’m Hannah and I had my interview for the Art Foundation course in Carmel College last week. Hoping to start in September (fingers crossed 🤞!)

Oh no really? :frown: I’m doing physical sciences, have you had to use more online material then? And are there lots of exams?

Hi! I hope you get your place! Thankfully, I live near the college so I won’t need accommodation ☺️ What about you?

I'm pretty sure you'll have different tutors for physical sciences, our tutors were a pain, especially for biology. For my course there are multiple assessments almost every week which they use as coursework to create an average grade. They upload class material onto teams or Carmel Connect, which is the college's online platform. Hope this helps!

Hi, was the teaching alot like 6th form/College, or more towards university style teaching? I hated in 6 form, learning topics and then doing exercises in textbooks etc in class, felt a bit juvenile. It would be great if the teaching was literally just making notes and absorbing.

Hi there!

Good luck with getting a place in September!

I noticed you mentioned about accommodation and thought I'd jump in to give you a little bit of advice since you will be commuting to and from the college in St. Helens I would make sure you do not apply for Greenbank halls, because then you would have to make an additional bus (or train journey) into Liverpool City Centre to get the train out to St. Helens. Any of the on-campus halls are around 10 - 15 mins walk down to Liverpool Lime Street.

Let me know if you have any further questions on this :smile:

I can’t reply to your pm as I’ve only just logged in after not using for a while but we’re both in the Snapchat gc so I’ll add you now!
Anyone got any GC’s for new foundation year students?
Hi everyone!

Congratulation on your offers - I'm sure you will love living and studying in Liverpool

If you have any questions then feel free to ask away - I've been a student in Liverpool since 2014 (I'm currently doing a PhD), so I've got loads of experience about the city and Uni.
