Could I be offered a place?

I am looking to apply to Strathclyde to study English, I gained 4 As at higher this year and I’m currently studying two advanced highest in English and history and a higher. Would I be considered?

Hey @secchis Well done on your exam results! I take it that one of your As is for Higher English? We also require your Nat 5 Maths at a B/C.

Yes with those grades we'd be able to consider you for a place on the course. Admissions for that programme are very competitive though so I wouldn't be able to guarantee an offer would be made. We receive lots of applications from applicants who both meet and exceed the standard entry requirements.

The Humanities & Social Sciences admissions team reads all the personal statements so it's a good idea to make that as strong as you possibly can. You'll be looking to show a strong interest in English and the subject area, as well as sharing any details of extra curricular activities you've done to set yourself up well for university to show off your skills and abilities

Good luck!

If I have 5 A's at Higher and am taking 3 Advanced Highers in S6 (English, Music and Mandarin) how likely would I be to get an offer?

Hi @jessica099 well done on your grades! 🙂Are you also applying to English? As above, I'm not able to guarantee whether or not an offer would be made as we take in to account the whole application, including personal statements. Our Humanities and Social Sciences degrees are very competitive for entry and many applicants meet and exceed the entry requirements. It seems like you have strong grades and as long as they are in the right subjects we require and your personal statement is also strong, showing a desire to study the subjects you've applied for and telling the admissions teams what makes you suitable for the course then we'd be able to consider you.

Good luck!
