will only be considered at the discretion of the institution. Forms received
after this are held for Clearing.

Entry requirements
– have you got what it takes? |
|
There are various ways you can
show us that you have the right academic grounding – or professional
experience - to take on a higher education course. The main entry routes
are covered below.
Remember, whichever road you take, we
appreciate the work you put in to get here. When the university look at
your application, it will consider your achievements and your potential.
This might include:
|
BTEC Certificates and Diplomas (Level
3) |
|
BTEC Certificate and
Diploma awards are structured into 6, 12 and 18-unit awards, and are
rated on the UCAS Tariff.
For the older structure of award, it
equates a Diploma pass at 120-140 UCAS Tariff points, a pass with
four merits at 160–180 points and a pass with four distinctions at
200-220 points. |
|
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs)
(Level 3) |
|
The high work-based
content of an NVQ means that they are not normally considered for
entry onto a degree course on their own.
That said, it considers NVQs from
mature applicants who have a substantial working background in the
area they want to study and who have literally 'learned from
experience'.
Also, someone with NVQ Level 3 could
enter a more practically-oriented course, like an HND – we’ll take
every application on its individual merits. |
