Most if not all UK universities will consider you after a "false start" elsewhere. It might be helpful if your academic referee is familiar with the situation and can comment on it?

Being practical, how will it be different second time around? Are you getting professional medical help?

Hi!

Often, universities will allow academically dismissed students to continue studying for a degree with them if there is evidence that you have sought to improve. For example, you received poor grades due to anxiety and this led to your dismissal - what would you do to prevent that from happening again? Are you attending therapy or taking medication? Have you contacted DSA for accommodations to be made? If so, then it is likely you will be able to start again.

If attending is difficult due to your anxiety, some universities offer remote courses where you don’t need to go into campus. If this is an option you need to take, then perhaps look into it.

I hope this helps! 🙂
