We do not accept GCSE resits and will only consider your first GCSE attempt (and in one sitting).
A-Level resits are considered for all programmes.
We would advise applicants to speak with their school or exam centre about any mitigating circumstances that may affect their results, so that Exam Boards can apply any appropriate special consideration.
Edgbaston College's policy is that such mitigating factors are a matter for the Exam Boards and should be considered at the time of the exams rather than retrospectively by the College.
We do not make changes to course entry requirements in response to mitigating circumstances.
