What I've found most interesting is the difference in the way CTC write their requirements:
In English school/university grading systems (or National equivalents - proof of equivalency to be provided by candidates)
- 7 GCSEs grade C or above, including
- Maths, English and a Science subject (single or dual award) at GCSE grade B or above, and
- 3 A levels at grades BBC or above (note General Studies may not be used towards this requirement), or –
- An Honours Degree at 2:1 or above where either of the lower education requirements are not met
Considering they do the initial screening, I'd safely say that as long as you have the A level grades, the degree won't matter.
I'm another that got a 2:2 from a top university in a relevant subject (Engineering). I also got 4As at A level, including maths, further maths and physics. I refuse to believe that they'd judge someone with BBC at A level as more academically able.
The best we can do is put in an application and see what happens...
