You’ll find specific entry requirements for your course on our online course pages.

For most courses you’ll need to hold a Level 3 qualification, meaning you’ll need to have at least one of these combinations of qualifications (or equivalent):

• two GCE A level or Vocational A level passes; or
• three GCE A level or Vocational A level passes; or
• five passes in the Scottish Qualifications Certificate, of which two are at Higher grade or passes in four subjects, all of which are at Higher grade; or
• a pass in an Access course recognised by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) and designed to provide a preparation for higher education; or
• a pass in a foundation course in art and design validated by Edexcel; or
• the award of the Diploma of the International Baccalaureate; or
• a pass of 60% in the European Baccalaureate; or
• the Irish Leaving Certificate with passes at grade C or above in five subjects; or
• the award of an Edexcel QCF Diploma or Certificate

Visit the relevant online course page for specific subjects or grades you might need. In some cases other qualifications certified by the admissions tutor as being of equivalent standard will also be accepted.

We normally require two passes at GCSE (or equivalent) at grade C/grade 4 (for applicants sitting GCSEs post-2017) or above for English Language and, where required, Maths.

You can find more information about overseas qualifications in our international section.

Check the entry requirements

To study an undergraduate degree here you may need to have studied a specific subject or achieved certain grades at school or college. Make sure you check the entry requirements on the relevant course page before applying. Remember, we also welcome applications from mature students whose experience may be accepted in place of traditional qualifications.

Apply

The application process varies depending when you want to begin your studies, whether you’re a local or international student and what time of year you apply.

If you’re from Greece and want to start a full-time undergraduate degree in September, you need to apply through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), except during Clearing when you can choose to apply to us directly.

If you’re an international student you can choose to apply direct to the University from your chosen course page or through UCAS for courses beginning in September.

Anyone wishing to study full-time in January or part-time in January or September should apply to us directly from the relevant course page.
