Zoology Admissions Statement.pdf

The University of Bristol's Undergraduate Admissions Statement for the 2024 admissions cycle covers courses C100 Biology (BSc), C201 Plant Sciences (BSc), C300 Zoology (BSc), C103 Biology (MSci), C203 Plant Sciences (MSci), and C303 Zoology (MSci). The admissions process involves scoring and ranking applications based on academic record, with weightings of 20% for GCSE and 80% for A-Level results. Academic entry requirements can be found on the university's website, and other qualifications are considered on an individual basis. Personal statements and references may be used to differentiate between applicants with similar academic profiles, with criteria including interest and commitment to Biological Sciences, standard of written English, and wider interests. Interviews are not routinely conducted, but may be held in exceptional circumstances. Mature applicants are welcomed, and their applications are assessed holistically. The university also considers deferred applications, resits, and transfers, with transfers into year two possible but dependent on spaces available. The admissions team assesses applications in a fair and unbiased manner, and correspondence with applicants is conducted via email.
