Brian Bleech Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) ....gcsejust wondering how important it is to have an english gcse for uni? will they bother asking about gcse's?thanksWilldunno really will - depends on the uni probably. I think most will look at your gcse results. but as long as you do well in the relavant a-levels for your course, then i can't see it being a problem.but some places won't let you into sixth college without english though...so i dunnonot much help, it was so long ago Edited January 6, 2006 by leedstrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesaMan Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 You need at least a C in core studies, English and Maths are "normal" requirements. You then need A Levels or equivalents (higher education - or is it further?). Entry is points based - when I done it an A at 'A' Level that was 10 points. I don't know if it's changed. You also need to fill out a UCAS thing.Good luck-R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Will, it is advisable to have at least a pass in both maths and english language GCSE's, just to prove you are numerate and literate. Most job applications forms/agency jobs/further education forms will ask about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'd have thought those grades would be ok. B in maths isn't bad, and a D in english is still a pass isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'd have thought those grades would be ok.

deagledaddy Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 noooooo If you want to go to uni, then get a graduate job you are pretty much screwed with no C grade Eng. Language GCSE. Employers may well reject your application at the first stage. I would continue wth the resit! As said without it you will not be able to prove you are competant at your own language.I would suggest that you see your careers advisor or who ever the relavant teacher is that could give you some advice as to weather to quit your resit.

Tomm Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 The other thing is, you are now a year (?) older and wiser, so a GCSE english will be easier. Even if you don't do any extra work, it would be worth re-sitting the exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_nic Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 HiI got a D in english at GCSE and then went on to do a nd in engineering a college and im now doing a degree in civil engineering at Plymouth, so its not really that important but probs depends on the uni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koxx_TryAll Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Your life depends on it Actually it doesn't, but you might wanna get it up a bit, as your Maths grade is good so a similar GCSE grade might just give you the advantage against someone who decided not to do the English GCSE and has all the same stuff as you.
