Literally nothing! I'm getting very irritated because I feel like the communication is not there right now:mad: Did you get that email from the course leader? I haven't gotten anything on my timetable.

Not yet, they only accepted my enrollment today, despite me completing everything 2 weeks ago. The only thing that I had to complete this week was the virtual ID check, but they wouldn't have given me that appointment if I didn't hound them with emails to accept my GCSE certificates, which they didn't look at. My timetable also shows me freshers stuff.

My passport was more than 6 months out of date so I couldnt do mine. They said they would get in touch with me again but i have heard nothing. Sent them multiple emails about it and still no response. Ill probably have to phone them tomorrow.

Yeah, that might be the best thing to do; you might have to complete that part of your enrolment in person on campus. Let’s hope you have more luck calling them! Every time I call them their line is always busy or unavailable 🤦🏽*♀️

They better give us our timetables tomorrow, it seems like every other person doing a different course already has everything! My friend is doing therapeutic radiography and she’s had everything given to her quite quickly.

Hi, I was wondering how you applied for a foundation year, did you just apply normally for therapeutic radiography and then they put you at foundation year? Or did you specifically apply for a foundation year and if so what course is it because I am unable to find it on the BCU website x

Hi @neevpurewal

We recommend you apply for the normal three-year therapeutic radiography degree, you will then be considered for the foundation year and the three-year degree. If you have any more questions let me know or you can get in touch with our enquires team: [email protected]

Hope that helps :smile:

hi, if you ended up applying, what grades do the foundation year ask for?

so sorry for the late reply, i didn’t see this! I got into the foundation year with grades ACC , i think they accept most grades below BBB but there isn’t an official entry requirement for foundation year

Congratulations @neevpurewal !

I hope you're looking forward to getting started with your Foundation! If you have any questions about getting started at uni or general student life, then feel free to ask!

All the best. 🙂

Hi @sadia.ahmed01

Congrats on getting a place with us, we can't wait for September!

The timetabling team aim to have all timetables released by the end of next week.

If you've just enrolled then they can take 48 hours to appear after enrolment.
