Undergraduate entry requirements

Your ability to succeed and benefit from your course is the University’s first concern in setting its entry requirements.

We accept applications from individuals with a wide range of qualifications which correspond to the UK 13 year education system eg A levels. Some overseas students may need to take a one year bridging course such as the International Foundation Diploma.

Students may have an opportunity to enter the second or third year of a degree if their qualifcation studied is higher than an A level, such as a HND.

The University also considers applicants with other qualifications, including approved Access to HE courses, Open University credits and various professional qualifications.

To enter a degree course, you must satisfy or expect to meet our general requirements for entry, as well as your chosen course's specific entry requirements.
