you might want to be more specific with your query.
Do you know about UCAS? If not, that would be a good place to start!

Have you made a UCAS application?
Have you started shortlisting unis?

So to start at uni September 2022?
--
To look at uni's their is really 2 elements:
1) what do you want from the course & uni: academically, reputation, careers, city/campus, location, cost of living, big/small...
2) Where can you go: which unis offer the degree & which ones can you apply to with your high school academics

What grades have you got or are hoping to get?
Durham, Lancaster, Warwick, Manchester, Leeds and Leicester are good ones that aren’t in London.
Obviously there’s Oxbridge but the entry requirements are really high.
Which country are you from if you don’t mind me asking?

Warwick for English? No - it is very STEM based ... Leicester is not in the same league

You might have to email the universities individually and they explain. I suggest you have a look at the universities you like and then email each one :smile:

Thank you

I've looked at a few universities and they seem to ask for IB - here is the Kenya page for Exeter: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/undergraduate/international/yourcountry/kenya/

Here from Buckingham University [Private university which offers two year degrees]: https://www.buckingham.ac.uk/international/coming-from/kenya/

Please remove your e-mail - that is not allowed.

You need to go on university websites like I've done and see what they need. Exeter does offer a Foundation programme if your grades aren't high enough
