Russell Group universities will often accept grades as low as BCC (or even lower) for less popular courses.
Russell Group means they prioritise research over teaching - it isn’t an indicator of teaching quality or good student experience. Not every applicant buys the marketing spin.

A campus on the outskirts of a small seaside town in Cornwall during the off-season isn’t most students idea of a fun time.
How many buses to get to the nearest primark or cinema? When the “big city” is Truro it’s a pretty limited choice of social activities unless you’re happy living in a very narrow university bubble.

Nothing....it's just not the same course as the one requiring AAB based at Exeter campus...despite having the same name.

I just thought it might be helpful if I came in with a bit about our clearing entry requirements and our Penryn Campus.
During the Clearing period, where we have spaces on our programmes we will advertise them, often at a lower grade range than during the initial recruitment cycle. This can vary year to year as courses fall in and out of fashion and interest amongst prospective students changes. For example, post Covid that was a huge surge in interest in all Clinical Medical programmes (Medicine is always popular) which has since plateaued/even declined in some cases across the sector - so the number of spaces and entry requirements would have likely been fewer and higher than this year is likely to be. However, this will vary from institution to institution which will have their own processes and considerations which will impact their offer. Like all universities we are keen to meet our targets and so our entry requirements in Clearing will reflect this, but are always set ensuring that prospective students have the academic foundation needed to be successful on the programme.
We do find that a number of our Penryn courses end up in Clearing. As has been mentioned already in this thread this campus is in Cornwall 2 hours away from Exeter, so it is its own distinct location. The programmes are unique to the location, so even if they share a name with a Streatham Campus course the academics and specialisms will be unique, so it is worth checking modules and course information to see which is best suited to your interests. Often (but this is a sweeping statement so do check your individual programme!) our Penryn courses tend to have smaller classes sizes, higher staff: student ratios are more hands on/practical and have sustainability as a core theme running through the programme content. The campus itself is located on the outskirts of a town called Penryn, about 10/15 minutes drive to Falmouth and 20 minutes to Truro. It is not comparable to a big city at all, and anyone wanting that would likely be disappointed, but there is a thriving student community (we share a site with Falmouth University) and plenty to keep you entertained as a student depending on what your interests are. If you prefer a more relaxed pace of life, are outdoorsy or fancy living somewhere loads of people choose to holiday each year then Penryn may well be the place for you - our students based their tend to be very positive about their time their and are usually the biggest advocates for the campus. You might not get to go clubbing until 5am or have all your favourite brands on your doorstep, but you will be able to attend local festivals and events (the Sea Shanty festival is always good fun), go to the beach after all your lectures and enjoy the independent, local shops, restaurants and cafés dotted around the local towns. It isn't for everyone, but equally, life in the big city isn't for everyone either. You can probably tell I am a fan of Penryn, but I would always encourage prospective students to choose where you think you will feel most comfortable - you can't like everywhere, and you will spend 3+ years of your life there so ensure it is the right place for you.
I hope this is useful - do let me know if there are any specific questions I can help with.

The problem with Penryn is that it miles from probably everywhere. It is 2 hour drive or 3 hour train ride from Exeter and much further than other places. It isnt really somewhere that is easy to get back and forth from. That is an issue anyone wanting to go there needs to consider.
The town on Penryn is very small. Falmouth is only a few miles away and has regular buses to the campus. There is also regular buses to Truro but there isnt really any nightlife in the area so it wont appeal to most.
The one thing I would recommend if you are thinking about studying there is the need to visit before deciding. It will be fine for someone not really wanting nightlife but doesnt offer what most want.
Do not expect it to be anything like Exeter because it isnt.
