1. Academic achievement is ordinarily defined as predicted grades of at least 128 UCAS points, but applicants will be assessed on multiple criteria rather than grades alone. Applicants will be assessed by an expert panel on their academic achievement; motivation and academic potential for their chosen course of study; and communication skills, including the originality of their applications and how they propose they will add to the University and student experience outside the classroom.
