The enry requirements are a bit lower and also you dont need a level maths which is covered in the foundation year.

Thank you and I'm sorry to hear that, hope you're okay. The grade requirements are to pass A-levels I think.

I think you may have got rejected because you didn't have a higher level quantitative subject such as maths or physics. That's one of the requirements to apply for this course.

Hey even I got an offer from Accounting and Finance. And firmed it yesterday. However I cannot understand the foundation year stuff. What is it? I thought the course would only last for 3 years. Is foundation year a year extra?
