Why are Southamptons entry requirements for Polticis so low?

Politics at any other russel group/top 20 Uni asks for AAA-AAB, but Southampton asks for ABB with a lowered offer to those doing a level politics

Whats the catch?

Southampton's Soc Sci courses are small but cosy. The grade requirement (which isn't dramatically low) is to attract good, interesting students who actually want to do this course rather than picking it for the 'grades required'.
