Entry requirements
UCAS Tariff
We have a dual entry process. Tariff-based entry If you have or are predicted 120 UCAS points from three A Levels, BTEC or other equivalent qualifications then you may be admitted on to the programme based on your UCAS Tariff. Assessment-based entry If you do not have the UCAS tariff points you need, or traditional entry qualifications, you can apply through our assessment-based entry route. You’ll be invited to an online Professional Workshop, where you’ll take part in four tasks (including an interview) to help us assess your suitability for the course. Your performance at the Workshop will determine whether we can offer you a place on our programmes.

Assessment methods
Formative assessment
Each module contains at least one piece of practice or ‘formative’ assessment for which you receive feedback. Formative assessments are developmental and do not count towards your overall module mark.
Summative assessment
As you will be able to greatly personalise your degree by choosing elective modules to suit your needs, we cannot provide a precise break-down of your assessments. Typically for elective modules, your assessment will be designed to reflect the kind of activities you may be asked to do in the
workplace, either individually or as part of a team. For example, report writing, data analysis, preparing strategies and presentations. You’ll also submit different types of coursework and sit written exams as part of the assessment for some modules.
Here is the assessment breakdown for the core modules:
First year (level 4)
50% coursework
25% written exams
25% oral assessment
Second year (level 5)
80% coursework
15% written exams
5% oral assessment
Third year (level 6)
65% coursework
35% oral assessment
Apart from receiving feedback for your formative assessment, you will also receive feedback for your coursework and practical exams, and upon request, for your written examinations.
Progression
In order to progress to the next stage (from first to second year, and from second to third year), you will have to achieve 120 credits at the end of the academic year.
