IWV Whilst it's not the exams that make the courses more valuable, the fact that you attended one of these universities would place you in better stead in whichever field of work you wanted to go into after University. Universities that offer more valuable courses generally have higher entry grade requirements. For example, to study Law at Cambridge you need to obtain at least A* A A at A-Level, whereas to study Law at Winchester, commonly considered a lower university, you need to obtain roughly B B C at A-Level. Essentially, it's true to say that the 'better' the university, the harder the work, hence the higher levels of academic achievement needed to attend. Thus, it could be said that achieving a degree at one of these institutions is harder and more valuable. In regards to the monetary side of things, I understand why you would think like this. However, having gone through the university application process this year, I think that it would have been very difficult to structure my university studies around financial means. If I truly believe that a university is best for me in pure terms of educational development, should I not be able to go there paying the same fees as everyone else?
