Does anyone know anything about whether universities make allowances, either at application or during degree studies, for students/applicants who have to attend national training camps etc.? Are modifications allowed to elements of assessment of courses or requirement for attendance if students have to be away during term time?
DC1 is unsure whether they could aim high for Uni given the demands of their sport in terms of training camps, weekend fixtures, expectation of club as well as national team attendance. Does anyone know how Oxbridge and Russell Group deal with this? DC has done very well at GCSE; the level of demand on their time from the sport and compulsory S&C is ramping up constantly however, so not sure how well they will maintain achievement come AS and next year A level. Would this be taken into account at all at application stage?
Any admissions tutors or lecturers on here who could share their knowledge?
