Gaining a prestigious degree is more accessible to you

Gaining a prestigious degree is more accessible to you.  And because we’ve got smaller class sizes, if you have got lower grades you’ll have more opportunity to achieve a prestigious degree. We request 260 UCAS points for entry (equivalent to BCC) with a minimum C Grade in GCSE Mathematics.  Our entry requirement is higher than the University of London, but not as high as London School of Economics.
