How does the foundation year work? And how do you apply for a foundation year? I'm currently in my first year of doing Btec applied science level 3 and eager to do a science related degree, hopefully at a good university.

If you're talking about the foundation at university then it is just a year that prepares you to complete the degree. Successful completion of the foundation year will provide entry to the Bachelors. In total you'll be doing 4 years at university with this route.

I'm doing a L3 Extended Diploma in Graphic Design, got unconditional offers from Birmingham City, Wolverhampton and Sheffield Hallam, and a conditional for MMP from Hereford College of Arts. Firmed Wolverhampton today, since it's close to home and I preferred it over BCU, and I decided that I didn't want to go too far away.

Based upon my experience of applying this year you should primarily apply for non foundation courses, with a safety net of one/ two foundation courses as a fall back position.

Would imagine so. But it would probably be best if you check out the requirements on the websites of the unis you’re wanting to go to....

Guys for the people who managed to get Distinctions How much work did you put? How did you do it? Was it constant work? Was it hard? How did you self study? How did you put information together?
What did it take to get the distinctions? Or DDM or D*D*M
Or D*DD
