The standard entry requirement for Accounting and Finance with a Foundation Year at Birmingham City University is 80 UCAS points (source) so I'd be surprised if you were to receive an offer with just 24 UCAS points.

I've yet to locate a Real Estate with a Foundation Year or Nursing with a Foundation Year course at BCU. Do you know the UCAS course code for either of these?

Is possible to get in with 24 ucas points on a foundation year

Hi @Dajkllino

Unfortuantely most of our courses with a foundation year need 48 UCAS points, you can check the specific courses on our website.

Another option if you have 24 UCAS points would be looking to do one of the HND courses that are taught in partnership with a local college. This is a 2 year course which can be topped up to a full degree after completing it by joining either the second of third year of the course at university. For more information check out our website. Here is the link to the clearing course search page: https://bit.ly/3S5c3wX

Alternatively you could look to do an access course at a college. This is a one year course which can lead you straight to university, provided that it is in a relevant subject and you get enough credits.

Hope that helps!
