It really surprises me when I see the academic requirement:

"2 A-Levels at Grade C or above or a Honours 2.2"

I can't believe some companies consider two C grade A-Level grades are equal to a 2.2 honours degree....because they're simply not. In my opinion this sends out the wrong message to potential university candidates. What if a student left 6th form with 2 A-levels at C or above, and then went on to get a 2.2 honours degree. Does this mean he/she is no better off academically?

I’m not suggesting A-Levels are easy by any means, but compared to the University level, they just don’t compare.
