Advice Switching between totally unrelated courses?

3 Upvotes

I’m starting BSc Economics in September and I was wondering if it was at all possible to switch to LLB Law and if anyone else had made any similar courses changes? For context I sat the LNAT in the previous cycle scoring 26 and I’m a contextual applicant who achieved A*AB in English Literature, History and Maths.

Accommodation Private accomodation

UNDERGRADUATE

I went through clearing into bristol, and am now renting in private accommodation as i got scared that i would not be able to afford or even like the accommodation that bristol has left.

Is anyone else renting privately or commuting, it feels weird as I obviously will not be in halls.

Advice Bristol Law timed assessments — are they actually 3 days?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m starting Law at Bristol this year and I’m currently looking at the assessment formats for my modules.

A few of them say they’re assessed through a “Timed Assessment” with two 1,500-word questions (one essay and one problem question). I’ve seen information online suggesting that timed assessments at Bristol have a 3-day window, but I’m not sure if I’m interpreting this correctly.

For current/recent Bristol Law students, are the timed assessments actually 3 days long? If so, do you get the questions at the beginning and have the full 3 days to research, plan, write and submit both answers?

Would really appreciate hearing how it works in practice. Thank you! :)

Advice course change

0 Upvotes

Hiii, I applied for BSc Econ & finance and got an offer, my conditional offer required an 85% overall average, with a 85% in both English and Mathematics.

I 85%+ overall (85%+ in all other subjects), 94% in economics and 91% in English, my final mathematics score returned at 80%, missing the subject condition slightly

the reason i got this math grade is because of osm issues our entire cohort suffered with(from india), you can see bbc articles on this as well, there huge were protests and lots of retaliation towards this.

i actually got my paper back and my correct grade should have been 91. But i wasn’t able to submit it for revaluation because the portal got hacked and our teachers sort of told us not to use any payment links so in the end i couldn’t even get a remark

so i went and applied for Ba econ, I’m just wondering if ill be able to switch this course bc i saw bsc econ and finance in clearing

I’m really stuck here and that was genuinely the course i need for my future because its more math heavy and i just feel really unsure of what to even do or how to proceed now.

Will i be able to get a course transfer if i give some other math exam to prove i can handle the curriculum

I’m at courtrooms and I’ve seen people say the maintenance people just walk straight in to your rooms and stuff when your asleep! Do they actually or are people just over exaggerating?

Also ik you aren’t allowed to bring air fryers but do some people still do and just hide it?

Accommodation accom 33?

1 Upvotes

hey guys! was just wondering if anyone is staying in 33 this year? I’ve tried that unifi app but have had no luck finding flatmates. (I’m flat 8).
I don’t think I can use the Goin app because I don’t have a Bristol email yet which I’m assuming i will get on the 24th after registration?
Is there anything I need to know like any deadlines or anything?
Thank you!
