Does Lancaster accept UCAS Points??
Hi all,
Basically, i've got an offer to get into Lancaster Psychology for ABB. This would total 320 UCAS points. However, what if I get BCCC? I do four subjects (incl. Gen Studies which apparently Lancaster accepts), and this would total to 340 points. Therefore, would Lancaster accept me?
Here's a link to the UCAS points system...

I very much doubt it, especially for a university like Lancaster. If your offer was ABB they'd be looking for those specific grades. If they accepted UCAS points they would probably have made a specific offer. If they wanted to be flexible (yet still not use points) they may have said ABB or AAC. BCCC would be pushing it.
I don't think so, if the University wanted ucas points then they wud specify they wanted ucas points, ie with my offer
Oh well, I just higly doubt i'll be able to get the required grades! Apparently though, on one of the threads, a person said they hadn't got the grades for Lancs, but still managed to get in when she told them that she had exceeded her offer in terms of UCAS Points. I'll try and get a link for the thread. At least I might be able to argue/beg them to offer me a place if I use that as tool. I'll try and get a link for that thread...
Offers normall say 320 points from three a-levels..
Just hope you've worked hard enough and have the number ready to ring on results day. Be calm and have other courses you'd be willing to go on if you so desperately want to come to Lancaster. You can always transfer to Psychology when you get here.

So, do you reckon I could ring and ask to be tranferred to a similair course, like Criminology? Does that often work, saying I would be willing to go on other courses?
I received DDM for my National Diploma in IT, which I believe is 320 in UCAS points. It was enough to receive an offer from the management school, which arguably is one of the hardest departments at Lancaster to gain entry to. The requirements when I applied if I remember rightly only mentioned A levels, so it's probably worth emailing them to see.
Lancaster are quite generous about people missing their offers, especially in under-subscribed subjects, but my feeling is that you are probably asking a little bit too much.
Yes, they do accept Gen Studs, but as one of three A2 grades, not one of 4. You are offering BCC which is three grades below offer. I do know people who have got in with 3 dropped grades, and more, although not in Psychology. Don't give up hope yet.

UCAS points are from a-levels though.. They'll accept similar qualification but that's a different story..
The nigh ebfore results.. Print off the clearing lists.. Look at what courses you'd be interested in.. Be ready to compromise.. You'll be fine.
