Advanced Level Information System: used in the United Kingdom to assess likely academic performance in post 16 education, ie at AS/ A Level or equivalent.
It is based on performance in General Certificate of Secondary Education exams, generally taken at age 16. An A* grade earns 8 points; A - 7 points; B - 6 points; C - 5 points... and so on.
Most schools & 6th Form colleges in the UK set a minimum "barrier score" for entry into full AS/ A2 Level courses. My school, for example, requires at least 6 B grades at GCSE, plus a minumum requirement of passes (ie C grades) in English, Maths, Science (a single science or "double award"), & a modern Foreign Language. Generally, we expect at least a B at GCSE in any subject to be taken at AS Level.
Universities will require specific A Level , or equivalent, qualifications for admission to degree courses (the "UCAS score" - University & College Application System), and most also look for a minimum ALIS score of 35: few admit this, but it's true. If your GCSE/ ALIS profile suggests lack of a decent general education - broad & balanced - then forget it! It's important to understand, however, that this is a minimum: the most competitive entry places (eg Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Imperial, Nottingham, Oxford, St Andrews, UCL, Warwick, York - to name some of the most popular) will probably only consider seriously applicants in the 50+ range.
Medical schools are generally more open/ "up front" about this: few will consider direct post school applicants who don't have at least 6 - 7 GCSEs at minimum A grade, usually specifying A*/ As in Maths, Science & English.
More generally, most colleges at Oxford & Cambridge only seriously consider applicants with at least 8 top grade (A*/A) GCSE passes, but are very reluctant to be open about this for fear of accusations of "elitism"! But this is the reality. One Cambridge college, which I will not name, has never admitted any student to read Law who had less than 10 GCSEs at A*/A.
IMO, it's disgraceful that most UK universities are not more open about the importance of ALIS scores, and consequently teachers like myself have a devil of a job advising convincingly very mediocre students that a couple of As at GCSE does not a realistic "Oxbridge"/ "Russell Group" applicant make!
The message is simple: if you want to go to Oxford, Cambridge, or any of the other top 20 or so ranked universities in the UK, then you need at least 6 - 7 A*/ As at GCSE if you're to stand any chance of your application getting past the first hurdle. Same is true of applications to any medical or vet med school, irrespective of which universities they're in.

What happened to those who were blacklisted?
Once a person is blacklisted, they have trouble ever finding a job again due to the fact that the factory that the person worked for told all of the surroundings factories bad stuff about this person. A person is usually blacklisted because they went on strike because of the low wages and harsh conditions.

What if you passed 165 out of 180 credits in MSc would you get MSc or PgDip?
OK then what did you do next because I am passing through the same as you so please if you get this message reply me.
I appealed but the appeal was considered as an academic complaint. Finally, I wrote a letter to the chair of assessment board to have another chance, and I got it.
Good luck for you.
What is the concept of social development?
Numerous models have been formulated to describe development. Generally, these start off with a state of not-yet development or nondevelopment, and then go on to contrast this with a second state: some kind of plan or blueprint for development. As a result, the process of development is equated with a series of completed stages. Like having to climb the rungs of a ladder, one moves up and up in order to become more and more developed.
Answer No, Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not, nor ever has been affiliated with the Church of the Brethern or Bethany Theological Seminary that is located in Indiana. Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not a part of a denominational body, but rather is an independent, conservative, Bible based school, Baptist in identification, but trans-denominational in its student body. The school and its professors accept the Bible as the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God Bethany is a free-standing school, offering educational course subjects in Bible, Theology, Christian Education, and Bible related subjects; providing solid theological preparation for Christian ministry around the world. Here people can earn a Bachelor, Master or a Doctor degree through off campus studies.
TRUE. But a crorrection.. IT IS NEITHER AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE NOR SEMINARY. The accrediting agency they list is bogus. If it is not accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education, Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, then it is not accredited as a seminary. It is a diploma mill and not an accredited institution. Why else have they changed their name three times, and list the lowest price on the internet for an education. If it sounds too good to be true, watch out.
Who sets the standards for switchboard?
All switchgear conforms to standards set by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), or the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
How many private universities are there in the UK?
Whew, 100s.
Answer: There is only one accredited (ie chartered to award degrees) private university in the UK - Buckingham University; not to be confused with Buckingham New University which is "public".
Additionally, there are some private American universities (eg Richmond) which have dual UK/ US accreditation, plus a few accredited private professional schools such as the BPP Law & Business Schools, & Kaplan Law School. It is possible that in the near future the BPP "franchise" will be extended to allow it to establish & run a number of private universities in the UK.
There are a number of extremely dubious private "medical schools" operating out of the UK: they're a joke, & their "qualifications" are not recognised by the UK General Medical Council: caveat emptor!
