How lenient is Leicester University on entry grades?

Hello! I have an offer from Leicester University for BBB for psychology. If I drop a grade and ended up with BBC for example would I still get in?
Any help on how lenient they are on grades would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much :smile:

At BBC you're very likely to be fine. In recent years, Leicester have accepted every single candidate who achieved BBC on results day. In fact BBC is the most common grade profile for recently accepted candidates (source):

I'd agree that they are likely to be flexible for a drop of one grade. I can't see that changing any time soon.

Hello 👋

Congratulations on receiving your offer, that is very exciting!

As for the entry requirements, I would say all applications are considered holistically and other factors are taken into account, so I'd say it is still worth still applying! 📚

Also, as a current Psychology BSc student, please feel free to also reach out if you have any questions regarding the course 😊

I hope this helps and has provided you with some reassurance.
