What are minimum entry requirements in Scotland and how might they affect me?

Scottish universities and colleges have two sets of entry requirements: standard and minimum.

Both reflect the grades you normally need to achieve by the time you start the course. However, the minimum entry requirements only apply if you are considered to be a ‘widening access’ student – including students with care experience. This means that you are guaranteed a place if you are care experienced and meet the minimum entry requirements.
