Oxford Brookes Applicants for September 2014

You're doing Fine Art too? Thats so exciting! I haven't found anyone yet doing it! x

O
Ooohh yayy!! I know, haven't found many of us art students yet

Only us three so far I'm doing Fine Art with Art History as Burrows already knows! So I'll be in half of the lectures and using the same studio space hopefully

Hi. My daughter wants to go to Brookes this September. They've asked her for merit in her art foundation even though she already has D*DD in the BTEC Art and Design. Do you mind me asking what grade they asked you for?

I'm on an art foundation course at Warwickshire College at the moment and completed A levels last year, I was offered an unconditional offer though.

Your portfolio must have been outstanding! What grades did you get at A-Level?

I did 4 full A levels and got straight B's

Well done!

My daughter's qualification is equivalent to A*AA at A-level plus the Art foundation (she's passed at least) so I don't know why they want merit. She has a total of 545 UCAS points.They seemed to like her portfolio, too.

I have quite alot of friends on my art foundation who have better grades than I do before coming to foundation but didn't get unconditional offers. Sometimes it might just be how the person came across in an interview e.g. how much they knew about the course or how much they genuinely seemed to want to go there or even the range of work that the interviewer was looking for... To be honest though, if your daughter got an equivalent of A*AA at btec I'm pretty sure she's definitely capable of getting a merit at foundation!!

She's capable of a distinction but she has been very ill this year so hasn't been able to do as much work as she needs to get that. She may not even get a merit. She seemed to have done very well at interview. As the Art Foundation wasn't available as a part-time course she had to study full-time even though she wasn't well enough so I hope Brookes will take into consideration that she will be studying part-time with them and her BTec grades which show what she can produce given the right circumstances.

I'm sorry to hear that she's been ill. Are Oxford Brookes aware that she's been ill? If not, then it could always help to ring or even try to arrange a meeting with someone from the art department perhaps? That way you could explain the situation and ask what action they would take if she didn't get a Merit... Really hope that helps

Hi. My daughter wants to go to Brookes this September. They've asked her for merit in her art foundation even though she already has D*DD in the BTEC Art and Design. Do you mind me asking what grade they asked you for?

Hey there! I went from GCSE to A level then Foundation Diploma in Art and Design, I originally attended Reading university but I didn't like it so I am switching to Oxford Brookes to start my degree again. I don't know what Oxford Brookes may ask for, but Reading uni asked for at least a Pass in Foundation!

I achieved a very high merit, and had a portfolio to show with it, has she attended an interview yet? A lot of art teachers don't mind on the grade of a Foundation, the important thing is that she has it as a qualification (Pass grade) the rest is up to her portfolio and how strong it is

I didn't need an interview, just an online portfolio because I have already done a year of university and Brookes accepted me straight away, I hope that helped a little, I'm sure she'll be better than fine!
