* The country you're applying to: Each country has its own visa requirements and universities have their own entry requirements. The UK, Canada, Australia, and the US, for example, all have different systems.
* The university you're applying to: Even within a country, different universities have different entry requirements based on the competitiveness of their programs. A prestigious university will generally require higher grades than a less selective one.
* The specific course you're applying for: More competitive courses (like medicine, engineering, or law) will usually demand higher A-level grades than less competitive ones.
To find out the specific A-level requirements, you must check:
1. The university's website: Look for the entry requirements for your chosen course. This information is usually found on the course page or the admissions section of the university website.
2. The course prospectus: The university's prospectus will often contain detailed entry requirements.
3. The UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) website (if applicable): If you are applying to study in the UK, this website provides information on the general visa requirements, but the specific academic requirements are set by the university.
In short, there's no universal answer. You need to research the specific university and course you're interested in to determine the necessary A-level grades.
