Students celebrate exam success on A level results day 2024
Hundreds of thousands of students are waking up to collect their grades on A level results day.
On the biggest day in the school year calendar, young people across the country will find out how they performed in their A levels, T levels, BTec nationals and other Level 3 qualifications – and figure out their next steps in life.
At The Access Project, we’re celebrating with our students as they discover their A level grades and their university destinations. Today, we’re sharing stories from some of our students who placed at university today.
A level results day at The Access Project
Patrice
Results: B B D
Destination: Accounting and Finance at University of Warwick
Patrice is off to study Accounting and Finance with a foundation year at University of Warwick.
At 14, Patrice had no clue what his future would hold, but he was sure of one thing: he was going to university. When he joined The Access Project in Year 10, he jumped into English tuition to boost his GCSEs and get closer to his goal. Now, he can sit back and relax as he’s picked up the A level results he needed to get to uni.
“I never thought it was possible when I started GCSEs in Year 10”, Patrice told us.
Megan
Results: A A B
Destination: Psychology at University of Warwick
Megan received two As in English and Psychology and a B in Physics to secure her place at the University of Warwick studying Psychology.
Megan also received the Reading List Foundation scholarship, awarding her with £275 to help pay for her first year textbooks.
“I am really excited about the whole thing and can’t wait to start uni”, Megan said.
Oliver
Results: A* B, Distinction*
Destination: Automotive Engineering at University of Leeds
After picking up an A* and a B in his A levels and a Distinction* at T level, Oliver is heading to the University of Leeds to study Automotive Engineering.

He told us: “The Access Project helped me achieve top grades throughout my GCSEs and A levels. I can’t thank my tutor and University Access Officer enough”.
Dylan
Received: A* A A
Destination: Law at University of Oxford
Two years ago, at age 16, Dylan published his novel Noble Betrayed. Back then, he dreamt of going to university to study law – and now, his dreams have come true.
Dylan received A* A A on results day and is heading to study at Oxford this September.
He joined The Access Project four years ago. Dylan said: “I enrolled with The Access Project because I thought the tutoring would prove invaluable for my success with my GCSEs and A levels, and the university advice also greatly appealed to me”.
Ahsan
Received: A A B
Destination: Medicine at University of Birmingham
Ahsan is on track to join the future ranks of healthcare professionals after receiving two As and a B at A level and placing for medicine at the University of Birmingham.
“Medicine always felt like the right balance between something challenging but not impossible to me, somewhere I’ll be able to genuinely make a first hand impact on someone’s life in the process”, Ahsan told us.
