Biology pass rate of 86.5% at A*, A and B

Specialist advice

We recognise that academic achievement is important but we appreciate that excellent grades alone are not a guarantee of receiving an offer from a leading University. GSAL has a tradition of providing specialist support to help students successfully navigate the university admissions process.

Our HE experts help students to decide which subjects and institution to choose, how to apply, prepare for interviews and admissions tests, all crucial steps to secure a place.
