film and business at uni

[beccac2901]

Hi i'm looking into applying for a joint honours degree in business and film studies at kingston uni but am not sure I will be accepted. It says on ucas that you need:

Volume and depth of study (GCE A level or equivalent) Minimum number required: 2
Number preferred: 3
Tariff score Points accepted: 220 - 320

GCE A/AS level grade range

GCE AS Acceptability
Acceptable only when combined with other qualifications

GCE A level
Acceptability
Acceptable on its own & combined with other qualifications

Additional Information General Studies only accepted when one of three 6-unit awards

I only have a B in film studies, a C in general studies, a D in english for my A Levels and a D in french and an E in german for my AS levels. This totals to 290 points, is this enough? Many thanks x

A '6 unit award' is equivalent to an A-level. So, your General Studies A-level is acceptable because it's one of your 3 A-levels.

You've got the preferred number of A-levels (3), because General Studies is counted.

Your grades for a B, C & D at A-level are, respectively, worth 100, 80 and 60 UCAS points, so you've got 240 acceptable points solely from those qualifications. Your AS results also count towards your total acceptable points because they're offered alongside points obtained from A-levels.

So, you've met the requirements purely on the basis of your A-level results. The extra 50 points from your AS qualifications will help you towards 'preferred candidate' status if the course is over-subscribed.
