Update on Historical Entry Grades Data
Please note that some courses include a foundation year, which has affected the accuracy of the data in this tool, which does not differentiate between Yr 0 entry and Yr 1 entry. As a result, these courses have been excluded this year. You can find more information on our website: www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/afteryouapply
This is the first year of the historical entry data tool (below), and we are committed to making improvements for future application cycles.
