I’m looking to apply for this course in 2024, sorry to reply to an older thread but could I ask what qualifications you got into this course with? I have been given no clues by my sixth form what they are looking for at all, I don’t know if I should even put it as one of my choices if it’s not realistic I’ll get in

Is there any particular grade requirements for A&F foundation year? e.g. A in maths

Hi there,

No particular grade requirements apart from a quantitative subject for A&F. For grades, students need to pass 3 A Levels (or equivalent).

Does anyone know when the selection day is being held for 2024? I am still waiting to hear back if i was selected or not. But i heard many different answers, one of them being that there is only one selection day that is in March and others saying there are more than one in March or April
Thread moved to UoW section as it had been sitting in Student Accomodation all this time :smile:

Hey are you allowed to talk about the process for the selection day? I’ve got an offer for it and I’m wondering how I should prepare for the cognitive and actual interviews/group activities!

Hello, you mention students requiring to meet a Widening Participation Criteria however would this also apply for international applicants such as myself? I currently don’t meet the entry requirements for an undergraduate in A&F due to picking quite irrelevant yet hard subjects in IB so I’d like to apply for the foundation year? Also, what would the average IB grade look like for accepted applicants?
