Hi on applying for physio with foundation year through clearing would the uni considering have special consideration would the uni take that to account and is it a must to get a bbc or would the uni drop their grades slightly Lowe and if so how low are they likely to drop it

Hey, if you took a level psychology do you feel this has massively helped you in your degree? Or can I still join the course without psychology a level

Hi there
When applying for a Physiotherapy course with a foundation year through clearing, universities may be more flexible with their entry requirements, especially if you have special considerations such as personal circumstances that affected your exam performance. It's important to communicate these circumstances to the universities and provide any supporting documentation.
During clearing, the university might lower their grade requirements slightly depending on the demand for the course and the number of available places. However, the best approach is to contact our admissions team directly, explain your situation, and inquire about the possibility of lowered entry requirements. 🙂
Hope you found this helpful, Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @UNI17c
Yes, you can still join a psychology degree course without having taken A-level Psychology. While having a background in A-level Psychology can be helpful, it is not essential. The university designed their course to start with foundational concepts, so students without prior knowledge can catch up easily. So you have nothing to worry about!
Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

Is foundation physio at uni of Leicester in demand at if so how much people are they likely to take each year as an rough estimate. In addition to that would you suggest that as soon clearing open i call the uni and explain the circumstances see if they offer or wait to result day

hey! im a psychology offer holder at UOL. i have made it my firm choice as its my dream uni and i need BBB with B grade in EPQ. however, i feel like i may not meet the grades, especially with chemistry as i really struggle with it. how lenient would you think Leicester would be if i was to miss a grade?
many thanks

Hi there @rutted-piling
I know how stressful this process can be and the uncertainty of it. It is amazing that you are doing an EPQ, that is helpful. During clearing, the university might lower their grade requirements slightly depending on the demand for the course and the number of available places. They will look at each applicant individually and take your circumstances and results into consideration. The best approach is to contact our admissions team directly when you receive your grades, explain your situation, and inquire about the possibility of lowered entry requirements. 🙂
Take breaks and do the best you can do and hopefully you'll be joining us in September!
YOU HAVE GOT THIS!
Please let me know if you have any other questions or worries you have. I will be happy to answer your questions! 🤗

Thank you so much for your help!I’m not really 100% sure with the clearing process. I have been told you can’t go through clearing if you’ve been rejected by that university. So if I wasn’t to get into UOL I can’t go back through clearing for psychology? Idk if I’m right in saying that but this is what I’ve been told
