Undergraduate

We accept the French Baccalauréat (pre- and post-2021) with grades equivalent to A-Levels as follows:

A-Level	French Baccalauréat
A*A* A	17 overall
A* AA	16 overall
AAA	15 overall
AAB	14 overall
ABB	13 overall

In addition, for degrees that require specific subject grades:

• Grade A* at A-Level = Grade 17 (out of 20) in the relevant French Baccalauréat Spécialité subject taken to Year 13 [note: Mathematics courses at Warwick G100 and G103 require Grade 18 in Year 13 Spécialité Maths]
• Grade A at A-Level = Grade 16 (out of 20) in the relevant French Baccalauréat Spécialité subject taken to Year 13
• Grade B at A-Level = Grade 14 (out of 20) in the relevant French Baccalauréat Spécialité subject taken to Year 13

Note that where degrees have a GCSE Mathematics requirement (i.e., age 16 school leaving certificate), our equivalents are:

• GCSE Mathematics Grade A = either Grade 12 (out of 20) in French Baccalauréat Spécialité Mathematics taken to Year 13; or Grade 13 in French Baccalauréat Spécialité Mathematics taken to Year 12; or Grade 13 in French Baccalauréat Complémentaires taken to Year 13.
