Prepare for Foundation Year Assessment Days

Pre-assessment day tasks required:

• Have a form of identification (e.g. passport, driving license, etc.) ready to present on arrival.
• You are required to complete an online written task before attending the day. We ask that you write in as much detail as per the word count specified in each section of the written task. Unfortunately, you cannot attend your booked session if you do not complete the Prepare for Foundation task 24 hours before your arrival.
• Complete the written task here!
• For our Art and Design Foundation year courses, you must also provide a portfolio showcasing your creative ability. Further guidance can be found via the Art Design pages via Interview and Portfolio Guidance.
• Do you know enough about the course you have applied for? Research information about the course and visit our open days where you can come and speak to our staff and students www.wlv.ac.uk/opendays.

• Please arrive from 30 minutes before the arrival time, as the day starts promptly at 9am, so please ensure that you allow plenty of time to travel to the campus and building where you are asked to arrive. As this is an assessment event you will be required to arrive on time, we will not permit any latecomers.
• We expect applicants who have been asked by Admissions to attend a Prepare for Foundation Assessment Day, failure to attend will result in your application being deemed unsuccessful.
• Some courses require an interview as part of the Prepare for Foundation Year Assessment day, read below for more information.
