• Entry requirements

Students are expected to have the equivalent of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 (C), alternative qualifications or appropriate work experience.

Students in their final year of high school, where their final qualification is below the equivalent of a UK Level 3 qualification, may be eligible to join the Enhanced International Foundation programme on the understanding that at the point of progression to university year one or international Year One they will have received both their Foundation certificate and their final high school diploma with appropriate grades.
