by Emilyeve15Hey everyone!
I'm looking to apply for Computer Science (with foundation year) starting in Sept 2025, and Northumbria is one of my top choices.
I'm applying for a Foundation as I left school after GCSEs to do an apprenticeship, however I have decided to return to education to help further my career (for context, I left school in 2021)
GCSE grades:
9 - Mathematics, Business Studies, Physics, Computer Science
8 - History, Biology, English Literature
7 - Chemistry, English Language
6 - Art
I am currently in the process of writing my personal statement, however I am having some trouble as I have no support of teachers etc.
I would be SOO grateful if anyone is able to give me a little bit of insight into the application process for foundation courses at Northumbria.
Thank you in advance xx
