Applying to University with my A-Level results

I am currently in my first year at Cardiff University studying Human Geography however, I do not believe that the environment is for me, so I am looking at applying to other Universities and retaking my first year there.

My A-Level grades are ABB; I was wondering if I could apply to the University of Nottingham whose entry requirement is an AAB, as the course looks excellent. I've been to their university to visit someone, and it's lovely.

I would like to know if anyone has any insight into this, I don't know if it's even possible.

Contact Nottingham and ask whether they would consider you.

i would contact the university to make sure, but it’s usually best to meet the entry requirements

Hi, sorry to hear you're not settled at the moment. If you fill in an enquiry form on the website, the relevant team would be able to advise you on this. Hope this helps! :smile:

Hello @Jazzyx40!

As @ageshallnot has noted, your best bet is to submit a message to the admissions team from the university. You may do that by filling in the following form: Enquiry Form

Best of luck!

With 1 week before Christmas closures and a month to the January UCAS deadline I would recommend that you prioritise talking to your current tutor about them providing a UCAS reference in early January and then putting together the rest of your UCAS application (full education history - GCSEs, A levels and your current studies at university, updated PS covering what you have studied at university etc).
