Low-Competition Programmes
The fewest applicants per place in the system, which means better odds. One caveat: some high-bar programmes (medicine, for example) have low ratios because of self-selection, not because they are easy to get into.
Selection criteria
2025 Band A applicants-per-offer ratio in the citywide bottom 30% (competition tier "Low" or "Very Low"); sorted by ratio, lowest first.
124 programmes — all listed.
The bracketed percentage = the programme's admission median ÷ that programme's OWN full mark (theoretical maximum weighted score). Institutions publish scores on different scales, so this percentage is what makes them comparable; it is omitted where the full mark cannot be derived.
