Application to the University of Nottingham – Chun-I Chien. Thank you for applying to study our G4GB Computer Science programme at The University of Nottingham. I am sorry to inform you that your application was unsuccessful. However, I am pleased to confirm that with your academic profile and evident interest in the subject area, we would like to make you an alternative offer for our H10Y Engineering and Physical Science Foundation Programme course. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Programme has been established for fifteen years and provides an excellent base for students before progressing to Year 1 undergraduate courses at the University. The foundation is delivered by a diverse group of teaching staff, many of whom are chartered (CEng/CPhys) and bring a wealth of industrial and teaching experience to the course for students to benefit from. You will still be guaranteed progression to undergraduate degree level study, (dependent upon successful completion of the foundation year and meeting the entry requirements for the undergraduate course you wish to study). Progression from Foundation Year study to undergraduate study will be facilitated by the University and will be a quick and simple process that will not require you to apply via UCAS. Students progressing from the Foundation Year to undergraduate study at Nottingham will be able to renew their Tier 4 student visa either from within the UK or from their home country, making the renewal process straightforward. Our Visa and Immigration team are able to support students who need to renew their visas from the UK in a timeframe. The Foundation Year offers automatic progression to a number of courses across Engineering, Physics, Maths and Computer Science and the University will provide support and guidance to help you to choose the most suitable pathway. While we understand that you are keen to start on your degree as soon as possible, we would strongly encourage you to consider the Foundation option, please take some time to visit our website to get a feel for this course. Official confirmation of your offer for the H10Y Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Certificate will follow through UCAS within the next week.
