Can someone please tell me as simple as possible what the following things are because in a few days I have to go to two universities in Northern Ireland and I would need to find out what the Irish equivalent will be in terms of entry requirements.
GCSE
A-Levels
Grades are they specific [ie. In Ireland we have ones for higher B's and lower B's]

GCSE's are the set of exams you take between the ages of 14-16
GCSE grades usually show whether you will be able to go onto A-levels (the grade is high enough)
A-levels are taken from 16-18
the grades in the uk go A* A B C D E F G U
A* is the highest you can get and U is ungradable.
Hope this helped, I dont know much about A-levels sorry.

A Level grades are A, B, C, D and U as far as I remember. They are introducing an A* grade for A Level but that's not until 2010 as far as I know.

A Level grades are A B C D E then U (the E is important to some people

). From this year there's also A*.

Oh right-my mistake then. Shows how long it's been since the A Level years

Thanks everyone. I'm looking at the course and it says the entry requirements are these;
ABB or BBB + B (AS level) and their equivalents in access programmes.
