Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

How particular are universities about GCSEs?

Say for example you didn't get your A - Cs in science but got A/A*s in everything else, maybe a few B/Cs, and at A Level you got As. Would the lack of science jeopardise your chances? I know it depends on what the degree is in, but generally more humanities related courses? English, History, etc?

You need to look carefully at the specific admission requirements for each course at each Uni - they will all be different. If you cant find this info on the Uni website or it isnt clear, then email the Uni for clarification.

If a Uni asks for SPECIFIC grades/subjects at either GCSE or A level, then this is what they want and usually because you simply wont cope wit the course without it.
