Failed my repeat year so need some advice asap please

I have been kicked out of uni because I failed my repeat year as well. I am thinking about applying to another uni with another course but I am kinda lost about how to actually apply to one. Do I just apply through ucas clearing or do I have to apply as a mature student since I am already over 21? Is there anyone who had a similar experience or knows someone who went through this. I would really appreciate it if I could get some advice.

I failed my first year and got kicked out - didn't like the course. I was not ready for it - immature. *I went off and did a couple of years work and then I did an evening degree at Birkbeck. Although it wasn't ideal in terms of the student experience, I had a bit more money and I was committed to studying.

Bit out of topic but didn't you get resits/a year repeat if you failed a year?

You apply through UCAS as usual.

You have to declare your previous university study in the education section and you'll need an academic reference (preferably from your university).

If you received student finance for your repeat year then unfortunately that means you're extra year of funding is used up. You will have to fund your tuition fees for the first year of your new course yourself (unless you can prove compelling personal reasons to SFE for the repeat year). If your repeat year was a non-attending repeat year (so you got no loans for tuition fees or living costs) then this might not count as your extra year.

I am in the same situation, what actually happened was last year when I did my resits exam during the summer I have managed to pass some modules except these two modules where I was offered by the univeristy to do a retake, which I did as at that time I was soo down and confused of what to do next as I wanted to stay in the course. Now, after getting my results yesterday I unfortunately failed the two modules again and has been "required to withdraw" at the moment I am really upset of this result and I dont know what to do anymore. I have been up all night thinking about my future and any other options I can do to be able to continue my studies. I really dont want to leave univeristy and I will do anything to be able to progress and possibly do another resit this August? I am very lost since have already spent two years at uni and if I happen to change course, I know I will financially strugle since I only have two years left from student finace and even if I have to work part time job I dont think I will be able to pay for my tuition fee. My parents does not know of what is going about my situation at the moment as I am very scared to tell them and I dont to disappoint them. I really dont know what to do anymore, someone please help me😔

Hey there, out of interest which subject were you studying and at which university? Both of those factors will make a difference depending on what you want to do next. Are you thinking of switching courses?

If you failed your repeat year, it is true that you won't have student finance for that year and thus you will need to self-fund.

Why did you fail each time? There's no point starting another course unless you've worked out why you've struggled so far, then you can deal with that and ensure it doesn't happen again.

Working or doing an apprenticeship would appear to be better suggestions, given the limited information you've told us so far. Good luck.

Being depressed which meant I had no motivation to go to lectures and do my assignments on time (sometimes even if I had already done an assignment I would just not hand it in time because I didn't want to get out of bed) and not asking for any help which I clearly needed.
