If you wanted to replace itwith another london Uni have you tried UCL,Queen mary university london,Kings college london,City university, Royal holloway or even Brunel.

The OP is predicted 30 IB points. She wouldn't get into any of them. Brighton is a good uni, I'd apply there if I was you.

It doesn't work like that for the IB. Top Unis ask for around 35+ points.

There is a huge debate on IB vs. A levels grading.
I don't know why but they want really high grades for IB.
Oxford for example want 40 and above (it's out of 45)
Warwick want 37 and above.
So many IB students find it unfair, because those scores are really really really difficult to obtain. Getting a 33 would like fantastic.
So IB is infact more challenging than A Levels. For starters, it has 6 subjects, in addition to Theory of Knowlege-philosohpy,plus CAS 150 hours of creativity, action, and service, and not to mention the loads of Internal Assements and essays and projects sent to the IB.
So yeah, life's unfair, what can we do?
If only our school offered A Levels...

ah unlucky =(

good luck anyway!

I'd plump for UWE/Swansea.

I'm applying to do international business management at UWE, and was told to look at Bradford (I didn't like it), Nottingham Trent, Keele and Hull by my teacher
