Hey @cainesacrux,

UCL require a minimum of a grade 4 or C in English Language and Mathematics for their Politics and International Relations BSc course, as does Warwick's Politics and International Studies BA. The University of Manchester, however, require a grade 6 in English Language and a 4 in Mathematics for their BSocSc Politics and International Relations course. Most universities will list their GCSE entry requirements on their course page, so you can always use that to check before applying. 🙂

Hope this was helpful!

Bristol - Politics and International Relations | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol = AAA with no specific GCSE requirements. Applications are assessed with these weightings - 20% GCSE / 80% A levels - so GCSEs actually count for very little, and are unlikely to be a deal breaker.
