Degree course offers : 2006 entry - 2006 Entry

Recognised by many as being indispensable, Degree Course Offers is the only directory that lists courses within each subject area in descending UCAS tariff points order. For any degree subject, applicants can therefore quickly compare the entry requirements of each institution, in order to locate those courses that best match their predicted grades and UCAS tariff points. Changes in Higher Education at both a national and local level are currently taking place more rapidly than at any time in the past. With an updated edition each year, Degree Course Offers ensures applicants will always have access to current and comprehensive information at a time when they need it most. As well as entry requirements, each subject table provides information on: Reasons for rejection at interview; The top universities and colleges (in terms of teaching quality and research); Number of applicants per place; Subject-specific advice on the Personal Statement section of the UCAS form; New graduate destinations and employment statistics; Applicants impressions of open days and interviews; GCSE subject requirements/preferences; Alternative offers (IB, Irish, Scottish); Courses offering special features; Sandwich and foundation degree courses; Study/work opportunities abroad ; Gap year advice. New for this edition is Course Profiles, a new chapter describes the distinctive ways in which each university organises the teaching of its students, and outlines the structure of each universitys single, joint, combined and modular courses.
