Confused about entry requirements?

For BSc psychology at Glasgow uni, it says this
‘AAABB is the minimum requirement from S5 to be reviewed for an S6 offer’

And then further down it says this
‘Typically offers will be made at AAAAAA by end of S6. B at Advanced Higher is equivalent to A at Higher’

Does this mean that if I don’t get the five highers in S5, but fulfil the requirements from the end of S6 I still can apply? Or do you need to meet both?

Thanks, sorry if it’s a stupid question.

Hi there,

Thank you for your enquiry and we are delighted to hear of your interest in studying with us at the University of Glasgow.

Our website details the full entry requirements for each course for 2025 entry, including the subject requirements. You will find these on each course page under the ‘entry requirements’ section, this can be found here: www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees

Most courses show a typical (by end of S6) and a minimum set of grades, and we would always advise students to aim for the typical requirements to ensure the best chance of receiving an offer. The typical grades shown are usually by the end of S6, with an S5 minimum noted this is to offer guidance to students and let them know this is the S5 minimum we would look for when assessing an application.

We encourage students to do the best they can by the end of S5, and to work towards achieving the standard requirements noted by the end of S6, to ensure a competitive application.
