Time to get me a second degree


Let’s be real – for all its ups and downs, uni is no easy ride. But what if we could make part of that journey easier? What if – when stressing about your A-Levels – you could selectively choose a uni based on how easy it is to get into? Well, once again, we’ve got your back.

Aberystwyth University tops the list as the easiest uni to get into – with a 96.6 per cent offer rate. Guess it’s a hard job convincing students to come to Wales as it is.

Meanwhile, Exeter is the only Russell Group uni to make the cut, with an 87.5 per cent offer rate.
