Entry requirements
There are no formal entry requirements for mature students. Candidates who do not have conventional academic qualifications will be considered if they have a professional qualification and/or work experience that demonstrates potential. Other relevant qualifications, together with significant experience, may also be considered. If you are unable to locate school certificates, we will often accept proof of professional qualifications and/or work experience as an alternative. Younger students are normally expected to have gained the equivalent of three grade Cs at A-level. However, all applications are fully considered and all candidates are interviewed. Motivation, work experience and, most importantly, potential are always taken into consideration. If English is not your first language you will need an IELTS Score of 6.5, with at least 6.0 in each component.
