Hey guys,
Thought this may be of use to you all:
Southampton resit policy:
All qualifications must be taken at one sitting for all programmes. Applicants who have retaken one A-level and/ or one GCSE (or equivalent) will be considered as if they had achieved the appropriate grade at the first sitting. Applications retaking more than one A level or GCSE will be considered provided there were exceptional circumstances related to the first sitting. If accepted, the offer would be the same as the standard off for the appropriate programme
Peninsula resit policy:
We do consider re-sit candidates, however, when resit candidates are applying with predicted grades we usually take into consideration grades achieved at the first sitting of the A Levels. For example, this year we did not consider applicants undertaking re-sits unless they had achieved 300 points across three A Levels at the first sitting (ABC or BBB). It is anticipated that we will apply a similar restriction to resit candidates offering predicted grades this year – it has been suggested that such students will be required to have achieved ABB at the first sitting.
For 2011 entry the typical offer for applicants offering GCE A levels will be:
AAA from 3 GCE A levels, including two science subjects from Biology, Chemistry or Physics
4 subjects must be studied at AS level (with a minimum of grade C achieved)
If Biology and Chemistry are not offered at A level, they must be studied at AS level
General Studies is not included in any offer.
These grades must be either predicted or achieved at the time of application.
