Options after failing first year of uni

Why did you fail after retake? If you put the work in and still failed perhaps this isnt the course for you.

What sort of apprenticeship do u want to do?

What Alevel grades did you get?

Honestly i failed because i didn't work hard enough. Don't think i'm going to go back to the same course if i choose that path.
I think an engineering or science based apprenticeship would be the best option for me as those tend to be the fields that suit my skills best.
I got an A* in french but am a native speaker so some unis do not count this and then BBB in physics, chemistry and maths.

Why didnt you work hard enough?

Are you lazy?

Yeah I think an apprenticeship would be best for you. Bear in mind they are very competitive and you will have to put in a lot of work simply applying to them. At this point they are harder to get into then uni

I dont think you need to resist your alevels

I think I just got overwhelmed with the freedom and forgot my priorities and responsibilities. I feel like this is a wakeup call and I feel that I've gotten it out of my system now.

I was studying chemical engineering at loughborough but i failed my first year after retakes. I am currently considering either an apprenticeship or retaking a levels as a private candidate alongside work and then reapplying through UCAS. Just looking for advice, anything is appreciated.
