University of bristol CertHE foundation year in Science, Engineering and mathematics

I've recently gotten an interview + exam for this course as a current access to HE student, was wondering if anyone else has done this previously and knows if its GCSE/ALVL type questions discussed as its foundation year and if so what topics would it be on? any helps cuz id like to prepare as much as possible

same here, I will study pre-calc and some calc as well

I did the one in arts and humanities and I don’t know how similar it is, I had to do an essay instead of an exam and that was the only thing discussed in my interview along with motivations for doing the foundation year. Also I emailed the head of the foundation year with any questions before. But the foundation year was so good I loved it

Do you mind me asking if you spoke much about why you wanted to attend Bristol specifically in your PS? Just found out the application deadline is tonight (I’m wanting to do Literature and have a PS all around that)

Yes it was quite specific to the course / Bristol itself and reasoning why it was the most suitable place for me to be instead of anywhere else but that’s just how I did it, I doubt it’s the only way but we did have a few points as a prompt type thing

Im doing the same thing did you find out any information, also any idea what the type of math problem will be in the inteview?

Ive yet to find someone else that did the engineering interview , yet i think itll likely be a gcse higher question after asking some of my tutors

In the exam same situation rn, its cool we are gonna do the same course after the foundation year too! i hope to see you there, have you sent an email to Bristol cuz they've ghosted both of mine </3. What have you studied so far for the test?

I got a interview date now

Same, Interesting thing is it says the maths test is designed to test your skills rather than knowledge so not entirely sure what we should be revising 😂

I’ve sent them two emails as well and they’ve ghosted them as well. It seems like they’ll be giving the interview dates quite late. For maths I’m mainly studying gcse content. I’m not sure if I’m meant to be studying higher than that. They don’t make it clear.

Be warned that this course will use your gift year of student finance - so if you later need to restart or repeat a year of your degree then you’ll have to find tuition fees to the extra year up front. An integrated foundation year won’t do this (unless you switch universities).
I’m pretty shocked that Bristol is pushing this option on Access students who already have a qualification designed to prepare them for university study.

yh but its either this or not go to bristol cuz they want an A in a level maths alongside access for first year

Hi I was wondering if you have any idea what the maths related activity might be on. I don’t even know where to start with that. Will they give us a maths question to answer. Or will they give us something else.
