The marker shows the typical (median) geography course. How we measure

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 CCC5%
  2. 96–111 ptsCCC–BCC10%
  3. 112–127 ptsBBC–BBB10%
  4. 128–143 ptsABB–AAB5%
  5. 144–159 ptsAAA–A*AA20%
  6. 160+ ptsA*A*A or more50%

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–£28k average
  2. 3 years£17k£25.5k average
  3. 5 years£24k£32k 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.

* When a course is too small to publish its own figure, we show the figure for similar courses at this university. Highlighted figures are the best of this university’s own course figures. Entry points are the middle UCAS score of students who started, counting all their qualifications, so they’re usually higher than the offer.

Links go to the university’s own course pages, where you’ll find current entry requirements and fees.
