Who gets in

UCAS points of students who started, with the A-level grades worth the same points. These totals include every qualification students had (a fourth A-level, EPQ, AS levels and so on), so many people here had a lower offer than their total suggests.

  1. Under 96 ptsbelow CCC0%
  2. 96–111 ptsCCC–BCC21%
  3. 112–127 ptsBBC–BBB5%
  4. 128–143 ptsABB–AAB10%
  5. 144–159 ptsAAA–A*AA16%
  6. 160+ ptsA*A*A or more48%

Most students here apply with Highers and Advanced Highers, which earn more UCAS points than A-levels, so these figures look higher than A-level offers usually are.

What graduates earn

  1. 15 months–£26k average
  2. 3 years£25k£24k average
  3. 5 years£28k£29.8k average

The 15-month figure comes from the Graduate Outcomes survey and covers graduates in full-time work. The 3 and 5-year figures come from tax records and include everyone in work, including part-time, so they can be lower than the 15-month figure.
