[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t read too much into UCAS tariff points when comparing Scottish and English universities. The two countries have different school systems and qualifications (e.g. Highers taken in 11th grade (equivalent) with an option to take further exams in 12th grade vs A levels taken in 12th grade (equivalent)), so the tariff points for Scottish and English students are not directly comparable. Glasgow and Strathclyde are not harder to get into than Oxford or Cambridge…[/quote] Spoken like someone who truly dislikes the fact that some of these Scottish unis manage to get a very good class every year. UCAS tariffs are adjusted between Scottish and English systems to accommodate those differences. A in higher is almost HALF the points that an A level. I’m English with degree from two English unis while my daughter went to Edinburgh and is now at Cambridge finishing her masters and going into a PhD program. [/quote]
