Hey guys,

So to level with you the reason I failed was because the subject I was studying I did not enjoy. I thought I would because I did well with this subject in the past and having direct work experience in the subject, however after diving deeper and attending University to continue, I realised it wasn't right for me and my results spoke for them selves. I passed all 5 modules and failed one. I will be doing the resit, however I know with utmost certainty - pass or fail - this is NOT the course I wish to do, or the university I wish to do it at.

I would like to start studying a course that I know I would enjoy, that I deal with in my spare time and where the subject material does really interest me and I won't be sat in the lecture theatre completely baffled and doubting myself. I have approached another Uni for this as I wish to be closer to home, and they have requested a transcript of my current grades (I told them I hadn't completed my first year yet as I still have to be reassessed, they said to send my results in regardless. I have since sent in my transcript and also an updated CV as well as my Access Course results which is what I used to gain entry into my first year at Uni.

My question is, do you think universities will care to accept me as a potential failed first year Mature Student? I am 25 years old and this was my first time at a University, I didn't really go to college after School as I went straight to work, I have many years of work experience and though I specifically told the Course coordinator of the University that I am applying to now that I don't have much work experience in the field of the course I am going after, he did tell me that it doesn't matter and to send it anyway.

I suppose I just want a second chance, I went to a course that I thought I would be good at, and it turns out I wasn't. My friends and family all told me to go after the course I am applying for now because its what I enjoy, though I went against the grain because I thought I could broaden my skill set. I have since learned a valuable lesson, and instead wish to proceed on the subject I know I have potential in.

The University I am applying for had already accepted me for my current course, however I did not take it because it was a back up offer and I really wanted to try and study away from home for the first time.

So I would just like your opinion, I know you cannot tell me for certain, but some words of wisdom or encouragement wouldn't go amiss : )

Thank you for your time.

PS. The course I failed at was Business Management and the course I am applying for is Computer Programming.

Apologies, I was under the impression that this site was black and didn't consider that maybe it had other backgrounds. It has been fixed

The default theme is black, yeah, but I (and a few others) use the far superior Elegant theme.

First tip, don't use white font.

At my university I doubt they would allow you to transfer if you failed a class, and I know for certain they wouldn't in my college which is engineering and applied sciences (which programming would fall under).

I understand what your saying, this is why I was confused as to why they requested my results even before I have finished. I am a 'potential' failed student, I haven't completely failed a class yet.
