Low entry requirements?

How come different universities ask for lower entry requirements for the same course. I have noticed that for biochemistry, Kent only require BBC when biochemistry is usually AAB. Why is there such a huge difference?

Hi there!
Each university will set their entry requirements to what they believe students will need to have in order to be in the best position to complete their degree at that specific university.
As @ageshallnot has said it can sometimes also be down to supply and demand. But it's also important to consider that not everyone who wants to study Biochemistry will have the predicted/achieved grades of AAB, so with some universities such as Kent, having lower entry requirements for Biochemistry it means that Biochemistry also remains a degree option open to more students. Additionally, despite having lower entry requirements that other universities you have seen, Kent still remains rather high in the league tables for Biological Sciences.
Entry requirements can also be set based on other factors too, it is purely the university's decision really I hope that answers your question

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
That’s what I was so confused about because Kent for biochemistry is so high up on the league table yet it has such low entry grades, in fact it ranks above the other universities I was considering for biochemistry that need AAB so I wasn’t really sure what to think of that.
