You wont get into a Foundation Year 0 course without full A levels - you can't apply with just AS levels.

If they're a mature student they'll possibly qualify for IFY

IFY means 'International Foundation Year' - what does 'mature student' have to do with it?

I don't know what you mean?

IFY also stands for Integrated Foundation Year, for example a 4 year programme for someone who doesn't meet the direct entry requirements of the 3 year UG programme.

Often, as with a UG programme, requirements are relaxed for mature students.

Focus on attempting as many past exam paper questions as you can and making notes from the mark schemes and examiner reports. Because 1000s of candidates retake each year and do this and improve from Es and Us to A*/A.

Campbell Harris usually has about 2000 Private Candidates each year.
