Entry Requirements - Degree Programmes
For degree programmes we ask for at least 160 UCAS points. These can be made up from the following:
- a maximum of 60 points may be obtained from AS-levels or ASVCEs alone; at least 100 points should be obtained from A-levels or AVCEs (formerly AGNVQs;
- or at least 12 A-level points, if taken before 2002;
- or an Advanced GNVQ with a minimum Merit profile (if taken before 2002);
- or a BTEC National Diploma at MPP
- or an International Baccalaureate, with at least 24 points
In addition, we normally require at least three GCSEs at grade C or above (including English and mathematics) or equivalent, for example, a Key Skills qualification.
Combined honours degrees
Entry requirements for combined honours degrees are the same as for single honours, with the additional requirement that combinations that include mathematics must have A-level mathematics or equivalent. For combinations that include a language, a minimum of a GCSE at grade C may be required in that language.
