Courses and points
Round one points by year. The last column is the change on the previous year the course ran. A dash means it did not run, or no figure was published.
# the figure includes a portfolio, an audition or an entrance test as well as points, so it is not on the 625 point scale and cannot be compared against a points total.
AQA no points figure was published because every qualified applicant was offered a place that year.
No longer listed
These had no figure in 2026. They may have been renamed, merged or withdrawn, so check with the college before counting on one.
