These are known as 'A' levels. Each of our bachelor's courses therefore has a normal entry requirement in 'A' levels, but it is also possible to enter with a variety of other qualifications. See also the country-specific pages. Students from countries with a broader school leaving certificate than 'A' levels may top up their specialist knowledge and English language in order to join bachelor programmes at the University by taking the Foundation Year for International Students.

Applicants whose first language is not English must provide evidence of this by means of a recognised English language qualification. 220 with 4.0 in the essay rating Some departments may ask for higher scores than this.
