"Attending university will be a completely new experience for me. Having the opportunity to attend a university open day has allowed me to feel much more comfortable in making the decision to improve my future prospects." – Anas, Year 13
At Greenshaw we are proud that the vast majority of our Year 13 students go on to higher education when they leave.
From midway through Year 12 advice is given on the university application process and there are evenings for parents at the start of Year 13 to explain the process.
All undergraduate university courses are listed on the UCAS website and details of the entry requirements can also be found there. These are either given as grades (e.g. BBB) or as a point score (e.g. 120 points). The UCAS points tariff is as follows:
Grade |
