The specific course requirements are: an overall of 60 credits are required, with 45 Level 3. A minimum of 39 credits should be at Distinction plus 6 credits at Merit. 15 credits at Distinction must be in a science subject. You should also have GCSE English Language at a minimum grade B/6 and Mathematics at minimum grade C/4. We welcome applicants completing an Access to HE course in a health or science-related subject. We consider Access courses to be suitable for mature applicants who have been out of full-time education and have had no previous access to higher education. We will consider applications on an individual basis taking into account other factors such as other educational achievements, life experience and skills. Due to the nature of Access to HE diplomas, it is often not possible for an applicant's college to supply a sufficiently detailed reference. Under these circumstances, we may request a supplementary reference to enable us to fully consider your academic ability. Although this could result in us delaying our decision, please be assured that this will not adversely affect your application in any way. Please contact us if you require further information. Students educated up to GCSE level who have only taken a one-year Access course will not normally be accepted.

A number of our academic Schools may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course.
