      Entry requirements

      Undergraduate - Year 1

      We usually require A Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diplomas for direct entry onto an undergraduate course. For students without have these qualifications, there is a range of access, foundation or vocational courses for further higher education.

      We will also consider AVCE (GNVQ), A/AS level, BTEC National, Access and equivalent overseas qualifications.

      Postgraduate

      For most postgraduate courses, you must have completed a good Bachelor degree, equivalent to a British second class honours degree from a recognised institution.

      Our MBA courses require at least two years of post-graduation work experience at management level, and in some cases a GMAT score of over 550 will also be required.

      You must also meet our standard English Language Requirements. If you don't meet these, we offer a Pre-sessional English course.
