Entry requirements
Qualification requirements
Contextual offers We apply a contextual admissions process for UK undergraduate applicants who have been in care or are the first in their family to enter Higher Education. Those who are eligible may receive a conditional offer with reduced entry requirements, typically two grades lower for A-levels and one grade (or eight tariff points) for BTEC or mixed qualifications. Read our contextual admissions policy for eligibility criteria and further information. Mixed qualifications Typically the only scenario where we make conditional offers expressed as UCAS tariff points is when an applicant presents mixed qualifications, most typically a combination of A-levels and a BTEC qualification. In this instance, we may make a tariff point offer to present the applicant with more flexibility on equivalencies. In this case, please be aware that we may still ask for a specific score across certain qualifications and subjects. E.g. 'This offer is conditional on you achieving 128 tariff points. This must include A-level Mathematics at grade B.' Subject exclusions We do not accept General Studies and Critical Thinking. These subjects will not be included in any conditional offer we make. Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
English language requirements
If your first language is not English, we will require evidence of English language proficiency. Minimum requirements are: IELTS: 6.0 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each component. GCSE: A minimum of grade 4 (C) in English. PTE Academic: 59 overall with a minimum of 59 in each component.
