Getting an offer, is it hard?

Hi everyone, I'm not english so I havent understood how studying at uni is at all
Anyway, I wanted to ask u if is it really hard to get an offer from uni like Kingston, Edge Hill, MMU, Solent, Leeds Beckett... Bc some ppl told me I probably wouldn't have got any offers, but I think that they aren't as selective as Oxford
It depends entirely on the course. Certain courses - like e.g. nursing - are very competitive even at lower-ranked universities like Edge Hill/Solent.

Other courses will have much higher offer rates at those universities - I would expect 90%+ offer rates for courses like History, Politics etc.

As examples:

100% offer rate at Solent.
https://university.which.co.uk/southampton-solent-university-s30/courses/applied-human-nutrition-bsc-hons-2019-fb6fc642d199

85% at Kingston for Human Nutrition (it looks there are other types available)

You can use the Which University website to look up the offer rates for specific courses.

Try another English proficiency test, like the PTE (Academic) for example. You might reach the required standards more easily as different tests are... well, different?
