Marking best 8 GCSEs including subjects listed above.

We would not expect a candidate offering just 6 grade B’s/5’s at GCSE to receive an invitation to interview due to the intense competition.

To be competitive in the academic scoring stage students would require far greater than the minimum

Slide10

Academic Criteria

equally during selection (offer is worded differently)

Slide16

Aptitude test

A score based on BMAT performance will be combined with a score based on GCSE/AS/A2 performance or prediction
