Is this a good idea, or not?
Circumstances are :
- similar courses with either same or slightly different published entry requirements in same faculty - eg Business Management and Business and Marketing.
- the same course but different course code because one has a one year placement with one higher A level requirement so eg Business 3 year course with ABB and Business 4 year with placement year with AAB.
For this example particularly, if it's a real favourite, would there be any benefit in applying to both the 3 and the 4 year course (because they really would like a placement year if possible). Would they be assessed separately/twice? Or is it a wasted slot?
