After fluffing up my A-levels I was accepted onto a foundation year course at Uni and am now in the 2nd year of the course in a better position than some of the people who just went straight into the first year. The department was also quick to point out that people who do a foundation level course then go on to do a masters tend to get better marks.
Ring up the admissions people for the Uni's and ask them. They want to take on students, so they're normally very helpful! -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
