BBC in three A Level subjects which must include one science subject from Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics or Psychology for contextual offer students *Contextual Offer students (more details https://www.aston.ac.uk/undergraduate/contextual-offer-aston-ready). RESIT APPLICANTS: We welcome applications from students who have taken up to one set of resits to improve their grades. Only the highest grades achieved will be considered, and resit applications are treated the same as all others. PREDICTIONS AND ACHIEVED GRADES: At Aston University, we are committed to an inclusive admissions process, ensuring every applicant has the best possible opportunity. While our listed grades are the official entry requirements, we understand that predicted grades are only estimates. We may consider applicants predicted to achieve CCC or higher, provided they meet the subject-specific requirements. This allows applicants the opportunity to improve on their predicted grades. However, any offer made will contain the listed grade requirements. If you are applying as a private resit candidate, we still require predicted grades from your school, college, private tutor or exam centre as part of your application. We may also consider applicants who have already achieved at least CCC at A level. These applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, considering the overall strength of the application, a strong academic reference, and any explanations for gaps in academic history. If shortlisted and successful at interview, you will receive a conditional offer at the published entry grades, and your application will be reconsidered during results week in August, subject to available spaces.
