Hi sorry to bother you but I saw you may be able to help! I'm looking into applying for a joint honours degree in business and film studies at kingston uni for september 2008 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

Hi becca � so sorry for the delay � as nobody replied for such a long time, I stopped checking!

Your points are certainly within the accepted range needed for this course at Kingston. Please beware thought that not all universities accept General Studies as a �countable� A Level anymore, so this may well affect your overall score. It would be best to check with Kingston�s admissions office directly to see if this can be counted towards your point or not.

It may also be worthwhile finding out from them whether they require a certain grade in a certain A Level (e.g. a B or above in English) as this may also affect your application.

As you are applying with your grades already known to you, you have an advantage over the current A Level cohort. So really take your time choosing your degree / university of choice, and go an visit them / go to organised open days as this can tell you a lot about the university. You can see the facilities for yourself, and gauge the atmosphere on campus.

Good luck!

Kate
