Lancaster University - Ask our Admissions Team

What happens if you miss the entry requirements by one grade? Will i be a definite no? I've applied for psychology Bsc

I am an international student. I have received my exam results and I have met and exceeded all requirements specified on my offer letter. I forwarded a soft copy of my mark sheet to the university some days ago. When will my offer turn unconditional? Now that I have met all requirements there's no possible way for the uni to not accept me is there?

Hello, I would just like to find out if there are any particular colleges preferred by Physics Undergratuates?

Hello

I want to study Film Studies at your University, I got a conditional offer and the course asks for AAB/ABB

I'm worried that I may get ABC in my exams, I also put Lancaster for my insurance choice for the same grades.

Is there any chance I can still get a place if my results turn out to be ABC?

Hello,

I have Lancaster Uni as a firm choice too, (Politics with a year abroad) - and I was wondering, what are the options for internships ? Can we apply for an internship inside an embassy or something relevant to the programme ?

Thank you,
D.P

Hi,
I firmed Lancaster University for Advertising and Marketing a few months ago. I was wondering if it would be possible to change to Marketing with a year abroad or just Marketing, and if so, how would I go about doing this? I know the first year is the same for both courses anyway.
Thanks for your help!

I would speak to the course director when you start, and then at the end of the first year when picking your Part II modules, just change your major programme.

I know I'm not Official, but that's what I would do - the Official representatives might give you some different advice though

Do you have partnerships with universities over the sea also for the Law programmes, besides the European ones ?

Hi, I was wondering if I was to get one grade lower than the required grades for my course on results day, how would you go about reviewing my individual application to decide whether I will be accepted on the course? Would you review my personal statement as well, or just my grades?

Hi,

Typically if a student has not met the stated entry criteria the application is reviewed as you mentioned. In the review process the admissions tutors will look at the grades you achieved, previous education history (GCSEs, Standard X, IB Middle Years programme etc), your personal statement, academic reference and finally any additional information added to the application. There is a very good chance of still obtaining the unconditional offer/place to study should you fall one grade below the agreed entry requirements, similarly it is possible should you drop two grades below but unfortunately we cannot at this stage give any guarantees.

I hope this helps.

If I don't get the grades Lancaster has asked for, who should I contact to discuss whether or not you will still accept me? Will it be a general number or should I contact the department I've applied to (Computer Science)?
