General entry requirements
The University welcomes applications from appropriately qualified students offering a wide range of qualifications, including GCE A levels, IB, BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma, and Cambridge Pre-U Diploma.
You can find full details of the qualifications which are acceptable for entry on our General entry requirements and Qualifications pages.
Course-specific academic requirements
All courses have specific entry requirements which are shown in the individual subject entries.
Some courses require prior study of specific subjects and may also have minimum levels of attainment required at GCSE or equivalent, particularly in English Language and/or Mathematics. These requirements are shown in the entry requirement tables under ‘Required subjects’.
The grade requirements in terms of GCE A level and International Baccalaureate (IB) grades are shown under ‘Typical Offer’. This includes offers for specific A level subjects or in the IB at the Higher Level (HL). You can find entry requirements for qualifications other than these on the UCAS Entry Profiles website.
For some courses where we receive a large number of applications from well-qualified applicants, we may not be able to make an offer to all those who are predicted to achieve (or who have already achieved) our typical offer. We will therefore consider additional academic achievements alongside the personal statement in deciding whether are able to make an offer. Information about these additional criteria is given in the entry requirements tables in the individual subject entries.
Find further information in our offer and decision section.
