Do any of your social science courses require an interview?
Original post by sALLY5
do you need a grade c in science to go into primary education qts
For QTS yes. They used to do a previous course where you were not a qualified teacher at the end of it, and that didn't require gcse science at grade C but they have since scrapped that course in favor of the QTS one.

Hi there,
You don't have to interview for our social science courses. Which course in particular are you interested in? If select the 'Entry requirements' tab on the course page you'll find exactly what requirements you need to meet for the course.

I'm applying for: Biomedical sciences - Bsc (Hons) - New course for 2017/18
I received an email saying theyve received my application, then gave me that admissions portal link. I just wanted to know roughly when most people get offers. Do they have to wait towards the end of application time or do they hand it out as applications come in?
I am hoping to study Digital Marketing the fast track course.
I have submitted my UCAS. Just waiting for a reply. so nervous

Its alright, is there any particular reason you changed it to a different university? Like did you find out something bad about BCU?

I want to do biomedical science and the BCU course is not currently accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Sciences which means I would not be able to work in the NHS with my degree, only in companies

You don't have to but could you keep me updated as to whether you receive an offer or not, because as you may have guessed i'm in the same situation as yourself XD
Good luck to all of you who have applied!
Offers can be given out before the deadline so you might not have to wait that long to hear back, but as you can imagine, we have a lot of applications to look through. If you have any questions in the meantime, ask away!
Why not let us know what you're most looking forward to if you join us to study? Or whether you'll be moving from your home town to come to Birmingham? We can help with lots of fun things to do here!
Good luck!
