History at Glasgow uni offers

Hi, I am hoping to study history at Glasgow uni. Last year i got 5 As in my highers (English, Modern Studies, History, French and Biology) and I think the standard entry requirements for this course for 2025 are AAAAA. I was just wondering if there was anyone who could tell me what kind of offer they received from Glasgow for this course and the grades that they got as I am wondering if they will want me to get a B in one of my advanced highers this year or if they will be happy with what I've already got.

Hi there,

It's great to hear that you're interested in studying here at Glasgow!

We cannot guarantee an offer just by meeting the requirements, however, applicants who do will have a strong chance of entry on to the programme. As we are a competitive institution, we advise all students to ensure they’ve read and understood our requirements and meet all mandatory subjects.
Full information on our admissions policy can be found here - https://www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/entryrequirements/guidance/#

Thanks,

Hi, not sure if you've received an offer since posting, but I just got unconditionals for Glasgow Uni with AAAAA at Higher, studying English, Art, History, Modern Studies, and Design & Manufacture. I did also have other achievements, like extracurricular activities and work experience. I think you have a good chance of getting in, especially if you have a solid personal statement and some other achievements outside of grades. Good luck!
