Could you please explain the Entry Standards figures on your league tables, i.e.the league tables for English
show 521 for Oxford - how is that figure arrived at? Many thanks.

It states that" Entry Standards (Tariff)
This is the average UCAS tariff score for new first degree students under the age of 21, taken from HESA data for 2006–07. Each student’s examination grades were converted to a numerical score (A level A=120, B=100, etc; Scottish Highers A=72, B=60, etc) and added up to give a total score. HESA then calculated an average score for each university."
