Aberystwyth University has welcomed the Welsh and UK government announcement regarding exam results.

Professor Tim Woods, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Learning, Teaching and Student Experience at Aberystwyth University commented:

“We welcome the announcement by the Welsh and UK Governments that A Level grades will now be awarded on the basis of Centre Assessment Grades.

“We fully appreciate that applying to university can be a stressful time, and that’s especially true this year. At Aberystwyth University we will honour places for those students whose grades have changed in light of the latest announcement and who now meet our offer. We will also hold open offers of places for those students who decide to appeal their A-level results or resit their examinations.”

“We are keen to be as supportive as possible with the aim of ensuring that anyone who can benefit from higher education in Aberystwyth has the opportunity to join us.  Our clearing team at Aberystwyth University is here to make the process as smooth as possible by offering applicants a step by step guide to ensure they find the right course.”
