Undergraduate degree courses
The general minimum entry requirements for our undergraduate degree courses are:
- Two A-levels + at least three GCSEs (must include mathematics and English) minimum grade C
OR
- A National Certificate + at least three GCSEs (must include mathematics and English) minimum grade C
OR
- A pass in a QAA-approved access course.
However, the offer of a place on a course will usually require more than the minimum requirements.
We welcome applications from students with qualifications and experience beyond the traditional A-level route. Relevant experience will also be taken into account and may be equivalent to formal qualifications.
See our information on alternative qualifications.
