This summer, we surveyed thousands of 2025 entry applicants who were placed on a course – to find out how they made decisions, their experience of the cycle, and their outlook for the future.

Our course pages now display both the advertised and actual grades of accepted students to help students understand more about the grades universities and colleges have accepted previously. The entry grades data uses up to five years of historical data (2019– 2023 application cycles).
