Degree with a Foundation Year? Let's talk!

I'm not sure how lenient they are at all to be honest, sorry!

Its good to hear from some people though, i was beginning to wonder if anyone was doing the Foundation year!

From what i could gather no matter the degree we are going onto a large chunk of the foundation year will be mixed group so I'm guessing we'll probably end up in class together.

Are you both planning to stay in the student halls?

Ahh fair enough. Yeah I think we will be mixed in some classes but that also depends on our choice since there are modules to choose from. I'm not sure if they mix the science/engineering foundation years with the philosophy foundation years. I applied for Endcliffe so hopefully yes, what about you?

Hi, I should be starting Physics with Foundation at Sheffield in September.

I'm hoping to get one of the studios in Ranmoor - I like my space!

Just finishing that, its a decent course

Don't miss any labs or you will fail the year (no resit years for foundation) but you can miss pretty much all the lectures especially in the first term as long as you rinse the exams.

Also get on Peta Kirk's good side for extra leway at every turn

You'll do a maths test when you get there which if you've done maths A level is a bit of a joke and with further maths it will feel like sats. do well and you wipe off all the maths help sessions you'd otherwise have to go to

Lectures start 9am 5 days a week, total of about 24 contact hours each semester




I hope you like walking

How hard would the maths test be? GCSE standard?

Yep, I'm starting the English Literature with a Foundation Year course in September. Sent my accomodation application a few weeks ago, applied for an en-suite in Endcliffe. Really looking forward to getting started on the course.

hi - what are the conditions of your offer / are you an a level student?

Hey , I'm doing the tests next week . How hard is it ?

Hey, if you've revised they're alright. The Maths test I took wasn't too hard, and everything I needed to learn was covered here.

Well worth taking the mock paper if you've not already, that should set you up well.

The English test was fine too, just read the sample text they gave you thoroughly and make sure you know it pretty well.

What course are you planning to take? Best of luck

Thank you so much ! I'm planning on studying history . One last question , what was the interview like ?
