Have you considered a foundation year?
A foundation year is an alternative way to gain an undergraduate degree. It takes place at the beginning of a programme and extends your studies by a year.
For students who do not yet meet the entry requirements for their desired course, taking a foundation year can mean a seamless move onto a full degree.
"I thought getting into university wasn't something I'd ever be able to do. Now I feel more confident, happier – more myself than I was before." – Haralambos Pouliasis, foundation year student
