Anyone goes to Westminster Kingsway College?

I’m looking to do the intensive course. Can anyone tell me a little bit about the application process. Do I apply online or wait till enrolment day? Also what is the entry test like?? Is it something that I have to prepare for??

You need to apply online. You then need to do a test for which you will be invited (usually end of June/beginning of July and one alternative mid Aug). It typically covers the first half of the first year of the course but you will get an email with exactly what you need to prepare for. Excellent course. I have done maths and chemistry last year and doing biology this year. Good luck

Thank you. Do they allow you to retake two previous Alevels and perhaps pick up a new subject?? Is there maximum of only 2 Alevels you can complete on the intensive course? I’m thinking about dropping out of uni to retake my Alevels so I can do law at top uni but I want make sure that I have a good chance of getting onto the intensive course.

I am sure they would allow you to retake. Most people in my course are retaking. Doing more than 2 and getting a good enough result A/A* will be pretty tough and they discourage this (rightly so in my view having done 2 last year and getting those results but doing a third would have been too much for me). Maybe this is different for you as you retaking and I am doing from never having done them but I am a very self-motivated person and did tons of work so ....Can you not drop out of uni once you know in July after sitting the test?

Dropping out of uni later is not really an option because they would charge me the full year rather than half the year. My last few questions are, do you complete an entry test for each of the alevel courses that you want to take? If I can start preparing now then I will because getting on this course means a lot to me. What are the fees like?

I want to retake sociology and psychology and perhaps pick up politics. Was you offered the advanced learner loan??

Ah sorry, my subjects are maths, biology and chemistry so cannot help. Re loan, I did not have the required stats for that

I dont think the college is good. Very poor teachers in A-Levels and its no fun. I dont attend lesson and revise alone because the teachers are terrible :frown:

I totally disagree. At least state which a levels you are doing as you are not going to be doing all that are on offer. Thanks.

I have been in this college doing digita media, maths and english GCSE's, to be honest with you the college is so bad, the teachers are so rude to the students and the students few of them are rude to each other. There is only one good teacher which is one of the best teachers I ever had and his name is Luke Chambers, he is an english teacher and he will help to get at least grade 5 in english GCSE. he is the only one!
