is it possible to get into a uni without meeting the entry requirements

is it worth applying at unis where i dont meet the entry requirements?

I think this depends on the requirements - so for me my diploma isn't accepted at several unis and if that's the case where you aren't studying the right subjects they're asking for, don't bother. Also if you're going to get ABB but they're asking for A*AA I wouldn't go for it. If it's maybe a grade or two off and it's a university you're really passionate about then your personal statement/other info might give you an advantage over others and you still might get interviewed and stand a chance.

Overall, don't go after really high standing unis if your grades are going to be below their requirements - and if you do, also apply to unis where you will meet or exceed the requirements so that you will definitely have an option. This is just my thoughts though.

Unfortunately not, all universities require you to have the stated entry requirements or your application is more than likely to be automatically rejected. So there’s no point in using a choice on this.

ah man ok

ah man ok

Can I know the basic details? I might be able to help out a bit more.

Something I would suggest if you are able to afford it (as when you're above a certain age, college becomes more expensive) is to take languages at college if that is something you want to study at uni. Have you checked as well if the requirements are any lower if you were to take a foundation year at uni? Sometimes they ask for slightly lower grades as the foundation year is a means to try out the course and catch up with everyone else. By getting the highest grades at college you should meet the minimum requirements for uni but check their requirements to see if they will accept BTEC diplomas as not all do.

i want to study modern languages but dont have GCSEs in any language nor A level/Btec. I definitely would excel though since learning languages is one of my hobbies. learning italian atm which im blasting through

Okay I see, there must be countless modern language courses out there. Unfortunately I’m not great in modern language courses however I’m sure there are universities that are more lenient. If you can just get the A-Level at a really good grade and highlight your commitment to learning a language (maybe something like an epq could help). I think you have a chance of studying modern languages, speak to your teachers and have a look everywhere online at different entry requirements at different uni’s, maybe even ring some admissions teams they’re usually very helpful. Good luck!

i think you misunderstood mate, this current year is my final year at college and im studying cyber security so i cant do A levels now i left it too late lol. cheers for reply though

Find a course that is not oversubscribed.
I think with languages SOAS is big so probably avoid that.
Maybe try to find a course that often on clearing.

That being said not all universities require a language at A-level. So I think you need to broaden your search.
For example if you do a degree in Japanese they are not going to require an a-level as most schools don't even offer it.

Then again I guess it depends if your talking about RG universities or not.

if a school didnt offer a language as an A level, they will require an A level in another language like french as proof of your determination and passion for languages which makes sense. ill have a look though
