BSc Data Science
Entry requirements
SQA Highers Standard : BBBB Applicants that present with BBBB will usually receive an unconditional offer. Mathematics OR two Science subjects required. Where we have more applicants than places we may need to ask for more than the minimum so continued engagement in school is Recommended. Widening Access: BBC Applicants who meet one or more of our widening access metrics and present with BBC, are guaranteed an unconditional offer. Foundation Apprenticeship: One FA is equivalent to a Higher at A. It cannot replace any required subjects. Note: We do not double count a Higher and Advanced Higher in the same subject, but we do consider that a B grade at Advanced Higher is equivalent to an A grade at Higher. National 5 at C or above is also required in English and Mathematics. A LEVELS Standard : BBC. Mathematics OR two Science subjects required. Widening Access : CCC GCSE at Grade C/4 or above is also required in English or English Language, Mathematics and either Chemistry, Physics or Dual Award Science. BTEC LEVEL 3 EXTENDED DIPLOMA DMM. Main subjects to be Science or Mathematics. (Note: BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate (Subsidiary Diploma) achieved at Distinction level, is normally acceptable in lieu of one A Level at grade B). GCSE at Grade C/4 or above is also required in English or English Language, Mathematics and either Chemistry, Physics or Dual Award Science. IRISH LEAVING CERTIFICATE Five subjects at Higher at H3. Mathematics OR two Science subjects are required. O4 in English and Mathematics is also required. INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE 32 points including 5, 5, 5 at HL with at least Mathematics OR two Science subjects. SL or HL in English and Mathematics are also required.
