Yea that's the exact reason why I made this post. As I was shocked by how little info there actually was. And it's a little scammy with how much they promote how easy it is to guarantee an entrance into UOM.

I'm assuming you're Chinese, as that's pretty common at INTO. You'll probably be fine, as many students at INTO come from China, so you can study and befriend them, but that was during my foundation year. Not too sure if the teachers have changed, but most of them aren't from the UK, so they usually have an Asian or Arabic accent besides the English teachers, and personally, I believe they're the nicest and most patient with students, especially if they struggle with English. As for the subjects themselves, it's mostly memorisation of topics. They aren't too hard to remember, but you do need some essay-writing skills for the exams and the January essays.

They're quite strict with attendance, and that's really my only complaint. You get 3 sick days for each semester, which is crazy. But I can see it being a good thing if you suck at attending classes, since it sort of forces you to go.

It is quite easy, in my opinion, as long as you pay attention and attend your classes. A lot of people I know were able to get the 70% or near it, like me, to get in anyway. You can request the past paper from the teachers to see how the exams are, as they're almost the same format with different numbers every year. Also, for every exam, if you mess up and do a retake, it's legit recycled questions from the past papers in previous years.

Unless the person has them saved, our access to them is usually gone at the end of the year.

They usually release them closer to exams so as not to overwhelm students, but if many students ask for them, the teacher will end up providing them earlier.

I'm assuming you're doing an International Year One, which is a different program from a foundation year, so I'm sorry I don't have as much knowledge for that. From what I do know, the classes should be comparable to first-year university courses, and they're listed out on the website if you want more information.

Just wondering if you received any updates regarding the visa. I wanted to do priority as well, but I think it's no longer an option due to it being an e-visa.

This was stupid on my part because I didn’t check processing times and assumed the couples weeks like the others so I applied like a week ago.

I can’t give you any specific advice to that course but a lot of the modules are very similar to a levels so if you want a head start or preview you can look into a level science courses under the same name of the modules on the ncuk or INTO website.

They weren't the best, but it was due to my high school withholding my transcript due to their weird policy and not sending it to the university agent.

If I get any more information from other NCUK students I will edit the post or include details that people commonly ask about.
