At a Russell Group university, you will benefit from world-class teachers, firstrate facilities and a highly-motivated and talented peer group.
The value of studying at a Russell Group university is highlighted by the:
High levels of student satisfaction – the 2015 National Student Survey
showed 88% of students at Russell Group universities were satisfied with
their course, while 89% of students were satisfied with teaching at our
universities
Greater graduate earnings – graduates of Russell Group universities earn
around 10% more on average over the course of their lifetime than graduates
of newer universities
Stiff competition for places – an average of six applications are made for
each place
Low drop-out rates – Russell Group universities have some of the lowest
drop-out rates in the world.
Entry requirements
Each Russell Group university sets its own entry requirements
for each of its courses. This means that when you’re thinking
about going to university, you’ll need to look on universities’
own websites or in their prospectuses to find the specific
grades, qualifications and subjects that they require for the
courses that you are interested in.

Informed Choices and a Useful Video on entry requirements.
Some advanced level subjects are more frequently required for entry to degree
courses than others.
These subjects are called ‘facilitating’ because choosing them at advanced level
leaves open a wide range of options for university study.
These facilitating subjects are:
Biology
English Literature
History
Modern Languages and Classical Languages
Chemistry
Geography
Physics
Maths and Further Maths
If you don’t know what you want to study at university then it’s a really good
rule of thumb that taking two facilitating subjects will keep a wide range of
degree courses open to you.
Avoid overlapping subjects…….
