For what course would you be applying at Swansea?

Hello,

I see this was sent a few months ago but I will reply just in case this helps someone. I assume you were applying for mechanical engineering or something similar which requires D* DD. As with most courses, these entry requirements should definitely be aimed for if you want a more secure place on that course. However, if you fall short in grades, especially if it's minor like in this case (D* and D are not that different) there is a chance that you may access the course through clearing. This may be subject to availability on the day. Good luck with your application!
