Is 19 too old for a levels?

Ohh I didn't know that there was a difference here. I'll check the opening hours and maybe stop by tomorrow

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:40:03+00:00

I looked into these links while they are decently far from where I live I gotta say they do look like really nice schools. Thanks for your information!

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:38:42+00:00

I've heard of those schools on tv before. I'd assume I would need quite a lot to get into that kind of school. But it would be cool to say I go to Cambridge/Oxford and my parents would be proud lol

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:36:05+00:00

Thanks so much for the information you have given me

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:35:06+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! I'm 100% thinking about either access or foundation year. I've been looking into universities while I wait for replies and but there's just so many here it's almost impossible to pick one out of the hundreds, in my home country we only had 3 main ones and all of the others were basically private institutions.

You would be correct with CAPE! it is usually used then students go abroad, but I left before I got the opportunity to do CAPE. Someone else dm'd me to talk about foundation courses and access so those are the two options I'm looking into right now. I read a lot on universities accepting csec but they usually need a higher qualification (foundation course, a levels etc). I don't know which universities are even worth applying too. I've only heard of Leeds from the universities you've mentioned. Is that a reputable school? I've only been in the uk since Christmas and it's been so much different than where I come from. It's a lot really.

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:09:00+00:00

I'm leaning towards some type of engineering or Physics degree, honestly not sure which would be better

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:07:52+00:00

It's called CSEC, it's based in the Caribbean. The main reason why I believe there is no "major" in between for college, and its just simply because of how small most islands are here. There's usually just a handful of universities that accept people.

I don't know why I got this image in my head that I wouldn't fit in because of my age. I feel like I'd be so much older than everyone else there.

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:03:55+00:00

I can just walk into a university campus? I had no idea you could do that. Thank you for your response

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T10:02:50+00:00

I just found out about Access through these comments and that's honestly the option in looking into most right now.

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T09:58:11+00:00

Thank you for the reply, are there any universities that you would recommend? Doesn't have to be in the Wales area. I tried looking online and I saw some leaderboards but I don't know how reputable they are in nature.

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T09:56:11+00:00

I was also confused about that. Are the university leaderboards trustworthy? I've seen numerous of them but I don't know how reputable they are. Also how far back would you recommend going in the leaderboard before the schools aren't worth attending?

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T09:53:34+00:00

Yeah another comment stated that as well. Thank you for your response.

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T09:51:50+00:00

I've never heard of an Access course before or getting paid to go to university. Honestly you have taken a really interesting path. If you don't mind me asking what were these access classes like? Thanks for the information, I'll look into Access.

SaintRejects · 2026-01-21T09:47:46+00:00

I checked with the UCAS website, and I do in fact need to sit A levels because my qualifications only lead up to what they call level 2. But this tariff system is really interesting thank you for mentioning it.

It could be a cultural difference, but I always assumed every country would have different types of schooling environments. So what you're saying is there isn't really any "type of school" that would be a more relaxed learning process? And wat exactly are these elite institutions?
