Hi 👋@n0rthernlights

I would reccomend looking for the course page on different university websites, this can help you decide which university is best for you and give you an idea of the application requirements. Here is the Bsc (Hons) Astrophysics degree page for University of Edinburgh: https://study.ed.ac.uk/programmes/undergraduate/46-astrophysics

Don’t doubt yourself! looking at entry requirements early can help you tailor your revision plan to meet the entry requirements. I will link below some revision help from the BCU website.

Best of luck with your application! Let me know if you have any other questions.

If you're aiming high, I'd look at Strathclyde, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and St Andrews.

If you're looking in the middle, then Heriot-Watt, Dundee, Stirling, and Napier.

For outside of Scotland, I'm not as knowledgeable.

I'd recommend going to as many open days as possible! Travel can often be reimbursed. Just visit as many unis within a decent distance from your home and once you visit you should hopefully find one that feels right for you! Look at unis with various grade requirements too and you should hopefully find the best fit for you!
