5. Is Business A levels considered one of the less preferred subjects by
UCL for students applying to do PPE?

As PPE does not have any preferred subjects (only a required subject), A
Level Business would not be considered any more or less competitive than
other accepted A Level subjects. The Admissions Team would focus on how
the applicant has met the subject requirements and entry requirements that
are found on the prospectus page for this course:
