Entry requirements
For international students
A-levelStudents are accepted from a wide range of educational backgrounds and all applications are considered on their individual merits. Decisions are based on the application as a whole - including the qualifications, the personal statement, and the referee's comments. The following must therefore be viewed only as general guide.Our entry requirements vary depending on the subjects being taken at A level. Typically, we would be looking for:Grades BBC where a student has 3 relevant subjectsGrades BBB where a student has 2 relevant subjectsGrades ABB where a student has 1 relevant subjectThe subjects considered to be relevant are Mathematics, Further mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science. Electronics, Design & Technology, Engineering. If you are unsure whether you would be considered with your qualifications/predictions, we would encourage you to contact us before making an application.In all cases we only offer places to applicants if we are convinced that they have the academic potential and the high level of motivation that is needed to be successful on the Integrated Foundation Year and on their chosen degree programme. To help us make our decision, applicants may be asked to attend an Academic Assessment.GCSEMinimum grade C/4 in English and B/6 in Mathematics if not studied at A level and B/6 in one from Physics, Chemistry or Combined Science if not studied at A level.International Baccalaureate32 points overall with 5,5,5 in Higher Level subjects, including Mathematics (either ‘Analysis and Approaches or ‘Applications and Interpretation are acceptable) or Physics.If Mathematics is not studied at Higher Level, then we would require Standard Level Mathematics (either ‘Analysis and Approaches or ‘Applications and Interpretation are acceptable) with Grade 6 or higher.Applicants studying the International Baccalaureate Career Related Programme (IBCP) should contact the academic School prior to applying so that their academic profile can be considered
