Entry Requirements and Qualifications

Universities and colleges set their own entry requirements for higher education courses, and these vary widely depending on the subject, the specific course, and the course provider. They set the entry requirements for each course to ensure you have the right skills and knowledge to successfully complete the course. These include:

qualifications, subjects, and exam grades – usually A levels, Advanced Highers or equivalent-level qualifications, are sometimes converted into standard points. Most courses will also expect you to have some pre-16 qualifications, such as GCSE English and maths, or their equivalents
your suitability – course descriptions often mention skills, interests, or experience it’s good to have, so look out for these details because applications can be quite competitive
an admissions test – less common, but check the course requirements to see if you’ll need to sit one. Some tests are held the year before the course start date
an interview – if you’re invited to an interview, we’ll let you know via Track after you’ve applied, but it might be worth doing some early preparation or putting together a portfolio if required
further requirements – it’s possible there may be health, financial, or Disclosure and Barring Service or Protecting Vulnerable Groups checks, which check if you have a criminal record. This information will be set out in the course details, and we provide tips and guides to help you with these requirements

The qualifications required for courses are often stated as international qualifications – for example, A levels. Don’t worry – you can also use equivalent qualifications you’ve already completed, or you’re currently working towards.

When searching for courses, don’t worry if the entry requirements don’t specify your qualifications – many course providers accept alternative, equivalent qualifications. Check the course provider’s website or contact them to find out.

You can get a statement about your how your qualifications compare to their International equivalents

Non-English Speakers

You’ll also need to demonstrate your English language skills, so check with universities and colleges how they want you to do this.

You might need to take a specific English language test to get a place on a course.
