Exam Entry Requirements
OK...I was looking to apply for this programme upon launch but have checked the qualifications required & am very confused/annoyed. I meet the GCSE level easily and I then took the International Baccalaureate exam. I passed the Diploma with 28 points which in UCAS terms is the equivalent of 348 tariff points. BA are looking for the equivalent of BBC passes at A-Level or in UCAS tariff points, 280.
All looks good until I see that BA expect an IB student to have 30 IB points or the equivalent of 392 UCAS tariff points!!
It appears that any university would accept me every time in competition with an A Level student with the minimum BA grades yet BA would turn me down. I have compared all the equivalent BA requirements and in every case the IB student (for taking the toughest exam of them all) has the toughest entry requirements, surely this must be wrong?
Anyone with any knowledge/experience of this? Do you think the website has got its grades right?
