If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Do the top unis care about my gcse science?

Hi, I'm currently in year 12 and I study maths a level, econ and History.

I would like to study comp sci or economics at uni.

I failed gcse triple science due to not being serious about it, can I still get accepted into russel groups?

Hi @idkwhattosodjajd

I would recommend having a look at the website for the each university you are interested in to see whether they require a specific GCSE science grade as this will be university dependent. It might also potentially be different for the 2 courses you are interested in applying for.

Hope that helps!

Universities that take your GCSEs into consideration won't be impressed at all by failed GCSEs. However, if your A level predicted grades are excellent, along with the other aspects of your application, you could get accepted to 'russel group' unis that don't place much emphasis on GCSEs.
