Applying for Surrey Biomed & Foundation?

If I apply to both the main Biomedical Science BSc and the Foundation Year at Surrey on UCAS, can I pick which one to accept after results day depending on my grades? Has anyone done this and how did it work out? 😊

The simple answer is no.

Very probably Surrey would only offer main BSc or BSc with Foundation, depending on your predicted grades, not both.

Even if you are offered both main BSc and BSc with Foundation (from Surrey or different unis), you need to "prioritise", i.e. choose a firm and an insurance. You cannot get both.

Okay, thank you so much. But would I be apply to both (I know it would take up 2/5 of my university choices) as I don’t know if my final results will meet the requirements for Biomedical Science BSc or Biomedical Science BSc with a foundation?

Of course you can. If you apply to the same uni and your predicted grades meet the requirements of main BSc, the uni might not give an offer for BSc with Foundation.
