BSc Accounting and Finance
Entry requirements
The General Entrance Requirements identify the minimum qualifications needed for application to a course at Ulster University. The minimum required for any programmes is a minimum of passes in five subjects, two of which must be at A level (grades A-E) or equivalent (three at A Level for full-time undergraduate courses) and three at GCSE level (grades A-C/4-9) or equivalent.We may also take into account relevant work experience. Ulster are also more than happy to accept different combinations of qualifications, e.g. An A-Level, and two BTECs, or three individual OCR or BTEC qualifications, provided the individual qualifications are accepted and are of the correct size we ask for. The traditional two ‘A’ levels are not normally a prerequisite for participation in this course. If you are a mature applicant who lacks formal academic qualifications, you may be admitted to the course if you can satisfy the Course Committee of your ability to complete the course satisfactorily. Exemptions may be granted from parts of the course where you already hold a higher academic or professional qualification providing evidence of relevant previous studies.
