Do I need GCSE English and Maths to get onto a degree course or to be accepted as a lawyer?
Most universities have a general entrance requirement for all students to have GCSE at grade C or above in English and Maths (or a recognised alternative) for entry to any degree. Some university law departments may ask for a higher grade than a C in English. Most will also require Maths as part of the university’s general entrance requirement but there may be exceptions. It is important to check the prospectuses or websites of individual universities to check what the requirements are and what qualifications are accepted as recognised alternatives.
