Tariff Points and Progression Accord with the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences at LSBU

Increase in UCAS Tariff Points

London South Bank University (LSBU) has revised its UCAS Tariff point entry requirements for some of its undergraduate programmes commencing in September 2011.

 

MESSAGE FROM LSBU:

Progression Accords with the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences at LSBU

 

As we have a progression accord with your institution, I wanted to make you aware of this and to reassure you that our old tariff points as stated in our progression accord will still apply to applicants, from your institution, who apply to one of our courses, in the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences, for 2011 entry.

 

Therefore our Progression Accord will continue to work in the same way, as follows:

 

1. Guarantee of a conditional offer from LSBU if students apply through the progression for one of the following courses:

• - LLB (Hons) Law - BSc (Hons) Psychology
• - BSc (Hons) Criminology - BSc (Hons) Sociology
• - BA (Hons) International Politics - BA (Hons) Tourism & Hospitality
• - BSc (Hons) Social Policy - BA (Hons) Film Studies
• - BA (Hons) Urban & Environmental Planning - BSc (Hons) Media and Cultural Studies
• - BA (Hons) Digital Media Arts - BA (Hons) Print & Online Journalism
• - BA (Hons) Digital Film and Video - BA (Hons) Game Cultures
• - BA (Hons) Music and Sonic Media - BA (Hons) Creative Writing
• - BA (Combined Honours) English Studies - BA (Hons) Arts Management
• - BA (Hons) Drama & Performance Studies
• - BA (Hons) Theatre practice: Creative Producing

 

2. Guarantee of a place on the above courses if students meet our (old) entrance criteria of 240 UCAS points for Law and Psychology and 160 UCAS points for all the remaining courses. With respect to Access Courses, we require a Pass.

 

To ensure that Welling students benefit from our progression accord which maintains our old entrance requirements, students will need to enter the words:  PA followed by Welling School in the further information column, next to the LSBU course choice.

 

We hope that our position with progression accords reassures your students. Our progression accord has the benefit of a guaranteed conditional offer as well as lower tariff points than our new standard offer. We have therefore stayed true to our mission to widen access to higher education to all those who can benefit.

Kings College Lectures

Are you interested in medicine? Then this opportunity is for you! Kings College are running a series of Science & Medicine in Action Lectures just for Sixth Form Students these are free of charge and would be invaluable for anyone thinking of going into medicine.They are also putting on a series of mentoring sessions providing advice on such things as UCAS and applying to medical school.

If you are interested please see Miss Forde for more information, the first lecture is on 20th October

Applying to Oxbridge?

With September now upon us, (where did summer go?!), we understand that your key focus is to ensure that your students put their all into tackling the different stages of their Oxbridge applications. I hope that your students’ personal statements are progressing well (we know it can feel like a lengthy process). The effort is worth it, as over 70% of the applicants we worked with last year were asked about their statement in the interview. It is so important therefore as you know, that students spend time ensuring that their statement reflects their opinions, academic understanding of their subject and evidence of their work beyond the syllabus.

We understand that your attentions will be turning to admissions tests – a crucial part of the Oxbridge application process. Having spoken with many applicants who went through the tests last year, we know students feel much more confident if they understand the format of their admissions test and practise the skills which it requires. Last year, a number of applicants expressed concern over the time constraints when it came to the real thing, as well as being unsure as to how to best prepare given it feels that so much of the test still feels ‘unknown.’

To help strengthen students’ core analytical, logical and critical thinking skills required in the BMAT, Cambridge Law Test, ELAT, HAT, LNAT, TSA Cambridge and TSA Oxford, we are running two one-day Admissions Test Seminars in London on Saturday 9^th & Saturday 16^th October at the London School of Economics.  

These seminars will be led by our fantastic and ‘inspirational’ consultants (to quote feedback from a number of recent applicants!) who will ensure that the students work hard throughout the day and understand that the tests can be enjoyable as well as challenging. They will explain how to approach questions and how to structure answers so that students demonstrate their analytical skills and express their ideas coherently. Students will sit a mock test on the day, and our consultant will mark their test and return it within ten days of the seminar – explaining what went well, where students can improve and how their score compares to other applicants at the seminar. For further details, or simply click here for more information and how to book, as places are filling up fast.

We have a special schools price of £90 per applicant, for all seminar bookings made through the school. You simply need to enter the code ‘schools2010’ at the checkout, and the discount from the standard price of £180 will be applied.

And... to help get those admissions test juices flowing, why not ask your students to have a go at answering the taster questions in our brochure attached. If you then log onto www.oxbridgeapplications.com you can see how their answer compares to ours... but ask them to refrain from taking a peak at the answer before they have had a go themselves!

Wishing all the best for your students. If your students cannot make it to our seminars, we do have mock tests available online. Just click here to find out more.

My experiences of university... Mr. Vankoningsveld

I went to university in the Netherlands. I wanted to study Medicine, but because of the lottery system due to oversubscription, I did not get a place. Instead of waiting a year to re-enter the draw, I decided to study Chemistry, my second choice. The university I went to was the University of Groningen, which has a well-known science faculty and the city is a typical university town, so lots of opportunities to socialise. As it was more than an hour away from where my parents lived, I moved to Groningen to a house I shared with two other students. I really enjoyed the responsiblilities that came with living on my own and be able to do my own things. 

The beginning of my study was really hard. The increased pace was something I had to get used to and I had to do a lot more revision and private study time. I showed me I had to work independently. During the first year I also had lots of practical courses in the lab which were a nice break from the theoretical subjects. During the first year I passed most of my exams, so I was confident that I could continue the complete course. After the second year we had to choose a specialism for which I picked Biochemistry as I was very interested in the chemistry of living things. During my specialism I did a 20 week practical which was very interesting and for which I had to write a full report. It also included a internship in Cambridge, where I was working in a lab or half a year. This was a unique opportunity as I got to work in a lab which was run by a Nobel prize winner! Also, living abroad for half a year made me realise there is more to the world than the Netherlands. Even so that after I got my degree I decided to come back to the UK and do my PhD at Queen Mary University of London.
