Oh thats sick!!
I'm feeling actually okay, very exited to start. More nervy about the foundation programme.
Do you have any clue how many people will be doing it?
And how come you are bricking it? I promise there are people all in the same boat as well, its the unknowing of what will actually happen. My older brother just said the best thing to do is go in with an open mind.

Also you were very brave to start a whole new thread for a very niche course, so well done for that!!

I have no idea, maybe 100? I remember at the offer holder day there were maybe 30 people in the room.

I think I’m just irrationally nervous about the social bits because I know literally no one going to Nottingham - I know I’ll be fine but it’s just the lead up to going if you know what I mean. Your brother sounds smart lol

When was the offer holder day?
And very weird question, but were there many girls?
And trust me everyone is nervous for the social aspect of uni. Every negative feeling you have, other people feel the same way.

Oh great thank you! just saw on uni guide that there were like 36% girls and was like ... so just wanted to check.
Did they say anything about the process after the foundation course ended, and what percentage of people continue to their chosen course?

Yeah! So it varies depending on the destination course but you have to get around 40% on average amongst all your modules to pass. It’s 60% exams 40% coursework or something of that variety. I’m paraphrasing quite a lot but they said 95% of people pass and go through to their desired course!
It’s 80% maths and 20% physics too-
