Loughborough Foundation year

Hello,
How likely am I to be accepted into Loughborough for chemical engineering foundation year with DDD in btec applied science. I've also got 3 A-levels in biology, chemistry and physics but they are all E grades, this is due to having a bad day during the exam due to illness and doesn't represent what I can achieve academically.
Thank you.

Hi

Loughborough's stance on the foundation year for this subject are as follows:

Loughborough University
Offers will not normally be made to those who apply simply because their A level grades/predictions are below the requirements for direct entry to the degree programme.

Students who are eligible for this course include:

* Those wishing to study a degree without the appropriate background
* Students performing at a very high standard in a chosen sport, who wish to study at Loughborough, but do not have the required qualifications due to sporting commitments*
* Mature students returning to education
* Those who did not meet their expected entrance requirements due to illness or other adverse situations
* Students with alternative backgrounds and qualifications


Applications are treated on a case by case basis and a number of other personal situations may also be considered. Applicants are usually selected solely on the basis of their UCAS application, but in exceptional cases, an interview and/or maths test may be required. If applicants are made an offer of a place they will be invited to visit the Department, meet staff and students, see facilities and get an insight into what it is like to be a student at Loughborough.


Did you take the A'levels or the BTEC first?
Your DDD would meet the offer for FY though.

It's likely you'll be able to be considered. If you're applying for 2025 entry, I recommend calling them to verify that they'll consider you: 01509 274403

Don't email - the equal consideration deadline may have passed by the time they get back to you.
