The fact still remains that students of computing at
Roehampton are only required to get 200 UCAS
points (thats a C and 2 D's at A level)

The entry requirements for degree courses have
always been a much better indication of popularity
than quality. High entry requirements usually mean
that a course is extremely popular and so the
institution has set high grades to restrict the number
of applicants to a reasonable level for processing.

Thus, in general, the entry requirements for
physical science courses are lower than those for,
say, English. Not because you need to be more
clever to do English than physics, but because more
people want to do English than physics.
