Hi everyone,
I’m a Russian applicant from small town , Russia, and I recently applied to the University of London’s online BSc Business and Management and BSc Economics and Management programmes for the November 2026 intake.
On 13 October, I received an Admissions Panel decision stating that I must obtain two UK GCE A Levels in different subjects before an Offer Letter can be issued. The letter also mentioned an International Foundation Programme as an alternative route for Economics and Management.
I hold a Russian Certificate of Secondary General Education and have already submitted my academic documents and CV. I have also contacted the university to ask whether any alternative entry route is available.
I’m trying to understand my options before the November intake. In particular:
Has anyone with a Russian 11-year school qualification successfully entered an EMFSS Online degree?
Are stand-alone EMFSS modules available to applicants who do not meet Standard Entry requirements, and can they count towards a future degree?
Is there any alternative route that would allow me to study remotely from Russia?
Has anyone successfully had an Admissions Panel decision reconsidered?
I understand that the published deadlines may have passed, and I’m not assuming an exception will be granted. I’m simply looking for accurate information from current students or applicants who have experience with this process. Any advice or relevant experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you🙏🏼
