The UCAS deadline is fast approaching, so here are some answers to your top questions.<\/p>\n

When can we start applying for student finance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly you don\u2019t need to have a confirmed place at BU to apply.\u00a0 You can start applying now through Student Finance England<\/a>.\u00a0 You may find these student finance videos<\/a>\u00a0and other resources helpful too. Details of additional financial support available from BU for students commencing study in September 2016, can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve booked my two\u00a0tickets for an\u00a0Applicant Open Day, could I bring another guest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the high volume of visitors attending these events, we are limited to numbers. If you\u2019re travelling a long distance and arriving early the day before your interview, you would be very welcome to bring along your guests for a visit of the campus, based on a self-guided tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can I have an update on my application?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We appreciate that this is an anxious time, but it does take 6 \u2013 8 weeks for an application to be processed. As soon as our admissions team has reached a decision, this will be updated via UCAS track and MyHub. If you are a Hotmail user, you may wish to check your spam box for messages.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I fall slightly short of the entry requirements, am I likely to be accepted? Is it worth me applying?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our admissions team looks at applications as a whole, taking into account your personal statement, references, relevant work experience and academic qualifications. If you do fall slightly short of the tariff point requirement then you may still be considered so it is definitely worth putting in an application.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got an unconditional offer, when can I apply for accommodation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two\u00a0stages to completing the online accommodation application. You will receive an email with deadlines stating when you are eligible to complete each stage. We\u2019d\u00a0suggest you keep an eye on our website<\/a> and our Facebook page<\/a> for accommodation updates.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been invited along for an interview, but can\u2019t make the date, what should I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly, congratulations on being shortlisted to attend an interview, that\u2019s great news!\u00a0 Please don\u2019t worry, just respond via the message through MyHub. If you\u2019re experiencing difficulties with making contact, please email us here at askBUenquiries@bournemouth.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0confirming your full name, UCAS ID number and course title.\u00a0 Good luck!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do I need to bring with me for my interview and how should I prepare?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been offered a place for Business Studies, I applied for Business Studies with Marketing \u2013 is this right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, please don\u2019t worry. Our Business Studies courses all have the same first year as they are in the same framework. It\u2019s in year two when you\u2019ll specialise into the various branches of the course we have (Business Studies with Marketing, Business Studies with Law etc).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m interested in being considered for one of your UK scholarships and bursaries, can you help?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We offer a wide range of scholarships that are available for undergraduate students to reward academic excellence, and your musical or sporting talents. You can apply for more than one scholarship, if you meet the requirements, however, you will only be awarded one, if you are successful. In addition, we offer two bursaries designed to offer extra financial support for those from low income households or care leavers.\u00a0 For more information please click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m doing an Access HE course to be considered for one of your nursing courses and wondered what units I need to consider?\u00a0 What would be a typical offer? \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s great news!\u00a0 We consider all of the units covered within the Access HE course, feel free to choose the options you would like to study.\u00a0 A typical offer for all of our nursing courses could be 21 Level 3 Credits at Merit or Distinction in Science subjects.<\/p>\n

What is the UCAS course code for the BA (Hons) Business Studies<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is N100.\u00a0 This applies to any of the pathways<\/em><\/strong> (Economics, Enterprise, Human Resource Management, Law, Marketing, Operations & Project Management, International).\u00a0 The first year is the same for all of these subject areas within the Business Studies courses, then you specialise in Year 2.<\/p>\n
