You don’t have to be a genius to study Sociology
We all make fun of our mates who study a weird subject but did they actually have an easier time getting into uni than you?
New figures from the Complete University Guide reveal which subjects are letting you in with worse A-levels than Prince William.
It’s no surprise getting all touchy-feely with other people comes at a price, as Medicine and Dentistry had by far the highest entrance standards UK-wide.

And now it’s official: Sociology has the lowest entrance standards.
American Studies, Education and Drama were also at the bottom of the pile.
See where yours stands below — the rankings are based on the mean UCAS points required for each subject. An A at A Level counts for 120 points, a B is 100, a C is 80 and so on.
