Whereabouts did you look? It depends on the area really. I'm not a big fan of Hales Place, but I really like where I'm living at the moment.

Hi, what was your GCSE and AS grades like?

I got 2 A*s, 7 As and a C at GCSE, and then AABC in my AS levels (although during my A2 year, I resat the C twice and ended up with an A for it, as that's the subject I'm now studying). I got AAB for my A-Levels, in History, English Language and Biology respectively.

Those grades sound fine. :smile:

It's the AS/A-Level results which are the most important.

Are you applying to Christ Church or Kent? If it's the former, I'd suggest looking for/setting up a Canterbury Christ Church University Applicants 2013 thread, as that'll draw the attention of current CCCU students who'll be able to help you out. As a Kent student, I can't give you any info on CCCU, although if there's anything you want to know about Canterbury in general, feel free to ask.

I *think* they might, at least in some departments, but I'd recommend emailing the university/the department you want to apply to and asking, or alternatively, checking on the UCAS website, which if I recall, gives the requirements for all qualifications/if they accept them.

It told me I need 280 UCAS points (I should get at least 420) including BC at Alevel or in double Alevel (which I thought meant a Btec??)
