UCAS Qualifications - How do I put them?

missk2004

Hello all,

All I need to do for my application is add my qualifications, which is just really confusing me.

Im applying to do games design.

In my first year of college I done Business. On my certificate it says 'Person BTEC Level 3 National Foundation Diploma in Business' I achieved a grade pass. Now I only did the first year of this, I didn't do a second year. What do I put for this qualification?

In my second year I then Media, and I did 2 years of this.

I have a certificate for the first year that is 'Pearson BTEC Level 3 National 540 Diploma in Creative Media Practice' in which I was awarded a pass.

Then for the second year, I got a certificate that is 'Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma 1080 RQF in Creative Media Practice' , where I got a Merit, Pass, Pass.

For the 2 certificates of Creative Media, do I put 2 separate qualifications for this? Or is it just the extended diploma that I put down?

Hi! The Foundation aspect of the title is the first year of it, so it would simply be as you stated.

For completing the full media course, you again would put the full title of the course (not foundation and extended).

To explain: Foundation is if you just completed the first year, Diploma is if you completed the year and continued to the second, and Extended Diploma is for the full two years!!
