Entry Requirement

Qualification

Students with level 3 International qualifications can be accepted directly into first year since we cannot calculate their UCAS points.
  • Students can be granted access directly to the third year of the programme if they hold qualifications equivalent to Level 5. This can be HND (Higher National Diploma) and/or similar. The qualifications will have to be in a related subject and the exemptions will be mapped and confirmed by the Admissions and Academic Board. Each case will be assessed individually.

This is to be done through an interview with the board, where the applicant is given an opportunity to demonstrate the level of English and explain his professional and personal journey.
