Shirin Hessar is studying the Master of Chiropractic with Foundation Year. She shares why she applied to HSU through Clearing, along with some useful advice:
Why did you apply through Clearing?
“I was originally planning to take a gap year and go to college to do the Access to Higher Education course to improve my eligibility to get into HSU.
“I called the admissions team to ask if on completion of this course I would be accepted. I was told yes and I was asked about what GCSEs and A-Levels I had already achieved.
“I then got another call the next day and it was one of the senior lecturers. They had called me for a telephone interview and with this, they offered me a place.
“My advice for the interview is to talk about yourself and be honest.
“After my offer, I had to get a lot together as it was two weeks before the start of the course. I managed to find accommodation on Spare Room and I’m still in touch with that landlord today.
“I also managed to come and see the university before my first class. I’d never been to Bournemouth before and as soon as we parked the car and saw the building, we were wowed.
“We got a guided tour and I also got to speak to one of the course lecturers about the course and what I could expect.
“My advice for anyone wanting to apply to HSU through Clearing is just do it! Click the button and do it.”
