Have a look at UEA, Plymouth, ARU, SGUL, Edge Hill, Liverpool and you are just above Manchester's cut off last year.
Keele and Sunderland are options if you have good volunteering

Thank you. I was thinking along the same lines - ARU, Liverpoo, Edge Hilll. Do you think Cardiff & East Anglia are a far stretch?

Cardiff is essentially a lottery, unless Welsh +/- lots of contextual points.
UEA is one I recommended?
