Engineering at the University of Leicester

Hi guys, so basically I study BTEC level 3 Mechanical Engineering and I'm at the stage where I start to choose my 5 universities and so far the best and most appropriate university was Leicester, the requirements are DDD however in my first year I was only able to get PPP due to the college having a change in teachers with the modules changing half way through the year, so my predicted grades are going to be PPP do you think I would still be able to get a conditional offer. Because I know that in year 2 I will be able to achieve DDD since I spoke to the teachers and they are willing to give maximum support and of course me giving it my best.
Thank you very much for reading this message

I would think it's unlikely for Leicester to give you an offer. Have you considered looking at a foundation year? Possibly repeating the year and getting higher grades in Year 1 so you can apply for direct entry Y1?

I wish you the best of luck regardless.
