Several Universities in the UK tops the list of hardest training institutions to get admission to study your preferred degree program.
University of Cambridge tops the list of the universities with the toughest rules for admissions, followed by Oxford University. Imperial and Warwick, which have a history of taking the best of the best are also in the list.
Figures compiled by HESA for The Times’ Good Uni Guide show that, no surprises, Cambridge and Oxford have the highest standards for prospective freshers according to the UCAS points they require.
According to UCAS, an A* is worth 140, an A 120, a B 100, a C 80 and a D 60 at A-level. At AS-level, an A is worth 60, a B 50, a C 40 and a D 30. Meaning Cambridge’s high expectations of 600 points is the equivalent of three A* through to A-level – enough to get you through to a really uncomfortable one on one interview where they grill you on books you claim to have read but clearly haven’t.
Further down the scale, Aberystwyth prop up the list of universities worth talking about with 299 UCAS points required for three years spent learning to surf and drinking with old men in pubs.
If you are ain international student, it will be extremely had to join any of these universities, unless you are heavily academically gifted.
