Hi all
,
In one of the university prospectuses I have seen that you require 300 UCAS points from A2 (6 unit) or 12 unit awards from a minimum of 18 units (any combination of VCE units/ A level units). I am from Northern Ireland, perhaps this is different over here?
. What does this mean? I am currently studying Religious Studies (A Level), Information Communications and Technologies (A Level) and Health and Social Care (Applied A Level with OCR). Am I eligible for a course with this criteria provided I get the 300 UCAS points?
Thanks

Your A levels will count the same as 6 unit A levels do (some A levels only contain 4 units now-I'm guessing that might be why you're confused, it sounds like an out of date prospectus). They probably only mention units to distinguish between A levels and BTECs, which are the equivalent of double A levels (or 12 units).

Thanks for your help

It's possible that they're using the same outline as previous years-it's not unknown for information to be out of date because something like that hasn't been spotted.

Do you reckon the A Level with OCR is 6 units? Its 50% Coursework and 50% Exam... I do it through a different school and we never had the ins and outs explained to us with regard to uni application.

300 Points = BBB from three full A-levels.
The units is mostly intended to refer to BTECs, I think.
