Unnecessary foundation Year
When I applied I was told by the University that didn't need to do the foundation year because my A-Level results are good enough to go straight onto the Maths degree course.
Because I'd taken two years out after sixth form I thought a foundation year would be good for me, so that's what I'm currently on.
I'm not enjoying it though. We've had to write a 3000 word essay and now have to write a 6000 word essay. Yes, in Maths!
What I'd like to know is, if I was to fail the foundation year (for not completing the 6000 word essay), will I still be able to continue onto the degree in October seeing as my A-Level results were sufficient enough for me to do so?

Only the university can answer that, but the way it probably works is this:
• If you want to automatically progress from the foundation year to the "regular" degree, then you need to pass the foundation year.
• If you want to join the "regular" three year degree based upon your A level results, then you need to apply via UCAS for that degree programme. Although you were offered a place via this route before, they may not make you an offer this time - having experienced your foundation year performance.
Simple solution: complete the essay.
