RESITS: We welcome applications from students who have tried to improve their examination grades by taking resits and the highest grades will be accepted. We treat these applications in the same way as other applications. PREDICATIONS AND ACHIEVED GRADES: Whilst the grades listed here are the entry requirements, we understand that predicted grades are only estimates, so we consider applications where predicted grades are slightly below the entry requirements if the overall application is strong. We also consider applicants who have already achieved a minimum of CCC grades at the application stage on a case-by-case basis, provided their application is strong, they have a robust academic reference, and any gaps in their academic record are explained.
