Yep WJEC, although I heard they're cancelling the subject in a few years or so. (Probably since you can do everything with a microcontroller now)
I bet Electronics is a breeze compared to all your other subjects!

That is sad to hear they are cancelling it. It is literally my favourite subject! Good luck in your UCAS application though :smile:

Thank you very much. The one thing that surprised me is that their usual offer is AAA but my offer is AAB - but I am not complaining!

What do you think was the best thing about the mathematics course at Newcastle?

Posted from TSR Mobile

Sorry for late reply - I've been away.
When I was in second year I was given the chance to do a research project in the summer with one of the lecturers, as were other students too. So I would say the best thing is that if you are really interested in maths and are thinking about pursuing it further, like a PhD, you get given the chance to do this at Newcastle. I'm not sure I would have been given the same opportunity at a different university.

It seems like a good university, good city. Why not?

Where are you from? I live roughly an hour outside of London in a pretty small town.

What course(s) are you applying for? History

What qualifications do you have? What are your predicted grades and in which subjects? I have ABB at A2, and I'm currently predicted As in History and Politics, a B in Sociology, and a D3 in Pre-U English Literature (same as an A).

Do you have any voluntary/work experience? Nope.

What does your course require? AAA-AAB with an A in History - pretty achieveable, I hope?

Why Newcastle University? I'm not going to lie, it wasn't my first choice - but then I looked at their course modules for History and, well, I might have been a little bit excited. On top of that, their accommodation seems great and I've been dying to leave the South-East, so why not?
