Website that advises the grades needed for a uni course?

[JustGettingByMum]

We have the 2011 heap guide, but I wondered if any one knows of a website that has similar info.
Basically, I am looking to type in a course, eg maths, and for a list of unis offering maths to appear, split by the grades the uni requires

Can anyone help?

Can't help with it that way but you can search each uni's website for grades required.

UCAS website has all of this information.

www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings - this website gives the average UCAS tariff of new students in a particular subject at each university. If you compare that with the published information about the minimum requirements for that course you should get a feel for what grades they are really giving the places to.

Thanks for your help.

I think I've found it here UK Course Finder

The Student Room is very good...I am not sure whether they have details for all courses but they have for example tables for "Stalking Medicine 2012" which tells you what offers students have received for places in 2012 at which universities and how they did. You can also ask questions so if you wanted info about maths for example, people would respond. Also good homework help is available!

UCAS

the push guide allows you to put in your predictions and subject and it will come up with a list of where you can go

ucas

To those suggesting ucas, thanks. I dont think it does what I am looking for though.
The Push website looks hopeful, but Im not sure how accuarate it is.

My DS wants to study engineering and we are trying to find some ABB back ups to look at. Push is suggesting Bath Uni, & I know they require A*AA for his course

Try UNISTATS
unistats.direct.gov.uk/

Comprehensive government statistics on a variety of uni related matters including UCAS points accepted for last years applicants. The grades Unis ask for and those actually accepted are not always the same, we have discovered!

quick search of ucas keying in course search and engineering as a single subject came up with Brunel Edinburgh Liverpool all saying ABB no idea of their reputation in this dept you'd have to look at subject league tables such as the good university guide. It also had southampton as ABB for electrical engineering which I know has an excellent reputation in the field

You could also try The Complete University Guide and go down the rankings a 'bit' and go to the actual University websites.

Kk thanks for all the advice

UCAS - unable to find a way to search by grade, tried searching by mech eng and it gives me 188 courses to plough through. Pl tell how you got it to narrow the course by grades asked.

Complete uni guide - again I've tried it, but again I can't get it by grade.

I appreciate that for some courses the offer can be varied on the day if the student misses their offer, but DS experience of engineering at southampton was that they refused to budge even though he missed his offer by only 0.5% on one A2. Thank God for the re-mark scheme that found an extra 6 points missed on that paper, do DS did get his place. DS2 now looking........

I suggested The Complete Uni Guide as a rough means of sorting the likely Uni's but did say that you would have to go to the actual indivigual Uni sites. I have done this myself and whilst it is a bit tedious you do get the most accurate and complete info.

Good luck

Use the Times good university guide et al to get the league tables for mechanical engineering. The top of the table will be higher than ABB the bottom of the table will ask for lower than ABB. Use your ds's own criteria to filter them down ie city v campus near from home v close to home student satisfaction stats, graduate employment etc etc whatever your own priorities. You'll probably have about 20 left out of 188. You can't get around having to do a bit of leg work

I have a more recent Heap (2012) and the institutions listed for ABB mechanical engineering are as follows

Brunel
City
Edinburgh
Exeter
Glasgow
Glasgow (SA) ??
Hertfordshire
Lancaster
Leicester
Manchester
Nottingham
Oxford Brookes
Queen's Belfast
Sheffield
Strathclyde
Sussex
Swansea

Nothing beats going onto each institutions website as only there will you find the most up to date information. Check out the AAB-ABB places too heap 2012 mentions Warwick and Exeter. You mentioned Bath - my book has it as AAB - not checked on the website though

Thanks for the help everyone. Obv I will check out the websites, as will DS
I was hoping for a site that would reduce this effort in a first sift, but never mind,
Eat your veg, thanks for your list, I will check these out.
Bath comment was based on offer given to ds1 last year.
