usually

I know a person who studied Btecs in subjects that are not even related to computer science yet he studies computer science at Leicester.

So I guess it depends on the university by how much.

Often, but not always. In the past I've seen requirements get lowered after a few days.
Requirements will drop for less in demand courses and for some prestigious courses (top RGs) can even rise!

It depends how many places they need to fill, but quite often they will be 1 to 2 grades lower.

Ah, that's a specific initiative at KCL for so-called "superstars".

Not just Management, it also has Film Studies (one of your favourite courses I think?) at A*A*A instead of AAB.

Meanwhile they also have about 100 courses in Clearing that don't have inflated grade requiremements.
