We do not have a minimum grade requirement, however it is a competitive process so you do need to have strong academics. However, having an upward trajectory in terms of grades is helpful. i.e. if you had inconsistent grades during college, but at university there was an uptake in grades, you will definitely be considered. It’s worth adding that we weight your answer to the commercial question in our application form more than your grades.

Hi,
I was just wondering if gcse's are used to compare candidates and if you compare the gcse results of the candidates cohort to the candidate. Would it be be at a disadvantage if I did well 9-7 but my cohort did better? Would I still be competitive with good a levels and uni degree?
