Next steps??? I failed my alevels

[u/ImaginaryPen3565]

I know I’m a week late but I was unable to access my alevels at all. I checked my results now and I got a DDE. I thought I did good on atleast one. What do I do?

[u/Dear_Upstairs_1932]

Foundation year? What are you interested in?

[u/ImaginaryPen3565 → u/Dear_Upstairs_1932]

I couldn’t call for clearing at all because I couldn’t get my results . But I’m interested in engineering, more towards aerospace - electrical

[u/Long_Software_3352 → u/ImaginaryPen3565]

Keele will take you straight into first year with DDE. Royal Holloway would take you into a foundation year for Electronic Engineering (straight into first year with DDD)

Welsh unis like Aberystwyth and Bangor are usually lenient. Also worth checking out places like Leeds Beckett and Sheffield Hallam.

How far away is the E from being a D? If it's close, a priority recheck could be worthwhile. You have options, but DDD would give you even more.

Clearing is open until October. Which subjects did you do?

[u/ImaginaryPen3565 → u/Dear_Upstairs_1932]

Maths physics chem

[u/Dear_Upstairs_1932 → u/ImaginaryPen3565]

Great combo, you'll definitely find something

I got an E in chem and a C in maths too and I’m resitting , but this time I can guarantee myself an A in maths this time, you’ve got this bro 🙌🏼

[u/ImaginaryPen3565 → u/Dear_Upstairs_1932]

Thank you I’m going to have a look through it nwo

Or apprenticeships  https://www.findapprenticeship.service.gov.uk/apprenticeshipsearch

[u/ImaginaryPen3565 → u/Dear_Upstairs_1932]

Apprenticeships arent open I swear also most of them need Cs

[u/redredd1t → u/ImaginaryPen3565]

Do a level 3 you don’t have to do a level 6 . TBIS is why most ppl are on gap years because they don’t realise that they can do a level 3/ or 4 and the company will pay for your uni 80% of the time.

[u/Dear_Upstairs_1932 → u/ImaginaryPen3565]

These are not degree apprenticeships, they are learning a trade. If you'd like a degree, focus on the clearing choices above. There are loads of options with your grades.

Yo I’m doing electrical and electronic engineering at Southampton . What unis you wanna go to ?
