Make sure you read the cautions in this TSR article about accepting an Unconditional offer whilst still taking A levels : https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/university/apply/firm-and-insurance-choices It often isnt actaully the dream offer it might seem.


I accepted it.
Bit late to the party, but...

Date Applied: 6th November 2017.

The University of Nottingham: Social Work (L509).
Assessment Day: 10th January 2018.
Interview: 12th April 2018.
Outcome: Conditional offer, 12th April 2018. Firmed.

Nottingham Trent University: Social Work (L500).
Outcome: Rejection, 15th December 2017.

University of Derby: Applied Social Work (L510).
Acknowledgment: 7th November 2017.
Interview: 11th January 2018.
Outcome: Conditional offer, 15th January 2018.

Keele University: Social Work (L500).
Interview: 17th January 2018.
Outcome: Conditional offer, 15th February 2018. Insurance.

Sheffield Hallam University: Social Work (L500).
Interview: 13th April 2018.
Outcome: Withdrew place before interview due to firming elsewhere.

I had to delay both my Keele and Nottingham interviews twice due to my job at the time refusing to give the days off for them :colonhash:...BUT I learned that:
Nottingham and Derby were very prompt after the final interview on giving offers.
Keele took a long time to decide (but they did say it would take around four weeks). Definitely the most intense interview of the three, with a panel of six people!
SHU took absolutely ages to get back to me and by the time they did, I had received offers from Nottingham and Keele which were the uni's I wanted. I did like SHU though and I'm sure it is an excellent course.
No idea why NTU rejected me whilst the other four didn't but that's life! :h: And I'm not too bothered about it really; again, a nice uni, but wasn't my favourite.
Anyone taking Sport Technology at Loughborough 2019 go join the thread!!!!!!!.Its down below.

Though I'd do one for Fashion as I don't think anyone has done one for an art subject. :smile: They're nutritiously slow compared to other subjects as there's often two-three rounds of a digital portfolio, then interview, then offer.

Hello! I can't believe I found this message!! I'm looking for a fashion communication degree in the uk (specially in london) and I can't seem to find a good one because whenever I see a ranking, I come here and people just drag the uni down!!! You got into so many, a lot of them people told me it was not very known or very easy and people didn't take it seriously! I'm very curious about the conde nast one. I just stumbled upon it and wanted to know more, Which one did you choose???
