"I get to see applications from a huge variety of candidates. Each subject has different expectations, for example, what makes a good Law student will be different to what makes a successful Linguistics student; Economists need to be strong at Maths, but English applicants able to analyse closely a piece of writing.

My top tip for potential applicants is always do your research and work out which is the right subject for you: are you genuinely interested in it? Are you motivated enough to take on the challenge of dedicating three or four years to studying it? What are the requirements to get on to the course and are you studying the right subjects, if any are required? Take a look at the descriptions of the subjects on our webpages and see if you like what you see and if you are the right fit.

It's important to work hard towards those high grades that we hope to see predicted for our applicants. As an Admissions Tutor, I’ll be looking for evidence of academic excellence, but remember that doesn’t mean top grades in every exam — nobody’s perfect — but a good profile of high grades both achieved and predicted."
