Qualifications required for architecture at Dundee University

In 2014, the minimum entrance requirements for the BA Arch (Architecture) course at Dundee University are:

Qualification	Grade
SQA Higher	AABB/ABBBB
GCE A-Level	BBB/ABC (excluding General Studies)

Following a FOI (Freedom of Information Request) I made to the department of architecture in Dundee, this the number of students who were failed at the end of third year since 2005

Academic Year 2005/2006       14 Failed 3rd year  
Academic Year 2006/2007       15 Failed 3rd year   
Academic Year 2007/2008       14 Failed 3rd year
Academic Year 2008/2009       <5 Failed 3rd year
Academic Year 2009/2010         7 Failed 3rd year
Academic Year 2010/2011         8 Failed 3rd year
Academic Year 2011/2012       <5 Failed 3rd year
Academic Year 2012/2013         5 Failed 3rd year

All these students studying architecture (approx 70 from 2005-2013) gained university entrance, passed 1st and 2nd year but weren't in the end considered bright enough or talented enough to pass 3rd year of architecture. Unbelievable.
