Applying to ARU at Chelmsford, for the Games Design course, but very worried.

I am really worried that I wont get accepted. I am applying for 1st year, but I have been out of education and employment for the last couple of years. I have 80 UCAS points, but it states that I need 96 - 112. I am so worried that i wont get accepted, as this is such a huge dream to me and I just cant help but think I wont get the opportunity. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Should I apply for the foundation year instead?

Hi there,

How are you feeling now? Any update on your application?

Our Admissions team will review your whole application - not just your UCAS points. If the Admissions team feel you would benefit from the foundation year, that could be an offer, but we try to make an offer for the 3 year degree where possible.

If you'd like to speak directly with the Admissions team about your application, please do contact them today:
📞 01245 686868
📧 [email protected]

Best of luck! Let us know any other questions.

Many thanks,
Jemma
