I haven't got the grades or don't think I will achieve the required grades; should I still apply?

You need to be realistic - look at the typical offers and check whether your predictions match. However, we recognise that not all applicants are able to demonstrate their talents and potential as readily as others through grades alone.

If you do not have the formal qualifications for immediate entry to a degree course, you can take a foundation degree.

Will you be accepting the A*?
