Easiest Universities to Get into UK with High Acceptance Rates

UK is a popular study destination for international students. It is not just the quality of its higher education institutes but also the wide range of courses offered by them that attracts students from across the world. If you are planning to study in the UK then firstly you should do some research and check out what exactly you want to study. In this article, we will inform you about the easiest universities to get into the UK. 

Getting into your favourite university is not that easy. Apart from a high GPA, you also need to have a good profile and excellent academics. The institutions mentioned in the article have a higher acceptance rate, so, getting an admit here can be comparatively easier than their peers. However, a high acceptance rate doesn't translate into the quality of the institution. It may be because of the wide range of courses offered by the university. The list is derived after analysing the UCAS data to determine the percentage of students who receive admission after applying to each of the universities in the UK.

Easiest Universities to Get into in UK

Universities with higher acceptance rates tend to accept more international applications than the ones that have a lower acceptance rate. Below is the list of easiest universities to get into the UK with the highest acceptance rates. 

University	Acceptance Rate
Aberystwyth University	92.6%
Bishop Grosseteste University	93%
University for the Creative Arts	94.5%
University of Sussex	92.2%
York St John University	86.6%
Cardiff Metropolitan University	86.1%
London Metropolitan University	86.9%
Harper Adams University	87%
University of Lincoln	84.9%
De Montfort University	86.7%
University of Whinchester	85.8%
Liverpool Hope University	85.8%
University of Kent	89.8%
SOAS, University of London	90%

Generally, we have a perception that the higher acceptance rate affects the quality of education and might affect the reputation of the university. This is true in the case of top-tier universities as they receive a high amount of applications and have a limited number of seats, hence only a handful are selected. Having a high acceptance rate does not reflect the quality rather it shows that students prefer course selection and at times it shows the limited capacity of the campus. Even some of the popular UK universities like Exeter and Durham have a 70% or more acceptance rate.
