JUPAS themed collection
Safe Bets
Mid-or-lower entry bars, Band A success rates in the citywide top 25%, and no recent surge in applications — the kind of choice that lets you sleep before offer day.
Selection criteria
Entry-bar tier "Medium" or below, 2025 Band A success rate in the citywide top 25%, and no rising trend in Band A applications over six years; sorted by success rate, highest first.
29 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.
