GCSE/IGCSE Requirements
8 GCSEs at grade 6/B or above including Science, English and Mathematics.
Notes:
Functional Skills, and Numeracy/Literacy modules studied within an Access to HE diploma, are not accepted for this programme to meet the GCSE/IGCSE requirements.
If you are an international student who does not study GCSEs/IGCSEs or IB Standard Level/Middle Years as part of your qualifications, then we would not expect you to have met this requirement. However, international equivalents can also be considered and we will look for evidence of the equivalency in your studies.
