LSE and Kings College are both very good Universities. Overall, the 2010 University League Table published by The Complete University Guide ranks LSE 4th and King’s College 17th out of the 113 UK Universities. However, Kings may be ranked higher than LSE in the subject that you want to study - have a look at the University Subject Tables to find out.

Entry requirements for both Universities are pretty high, for example they both require AAB at A-level to study Management (Kings also requires a further B at AS-level). Requirements for students with BTEC qualifications are not published, but you could e-mail or call them directly to find out whether your projected grades would be acceptable.

Is there any particular reason why you want to go to Kings or LSE? It might be worth broadening your search and looking at other Universities, for example the University of East Anglia requires BBC at A-Level for Accounting & Finance or Business Management, it’s ranked 34th in the UK for business studies (LSE is 3rd, Kings 9th) and 32nd overall, but actually scores more highly than either LSE or Kings on student satisfaction.

If you have a Careers Adviser at your school then I’d suggest talking all this through with him/her, and he/she should be able to help you find a good course at a good University which meets your objectives and is likely to accept your projected grades. Good luck!
